Lemon Pepper Tilapia

This is as close as I could come to healthy... it probably isn't because of the butter... and it really isn't a recipe, as much as it is a very complimentary meal. But it is as close as I get to healthy... AND it is a fast and easy meal, the rice is the longest part, so sometimes I just nix it and add another veggie... thats healthy right? But I don't usually, because the rice is soooooo goooooood!

Put 1/2 stick of butter into a 9x13 pan and melt in oven (which is heated to 350)
          I have made it before by using just water with a little lemon juice in it... it isn't as good, but it is friendlier to the love handles!
Place fish fillets in pan of melted butter and coat.

(I buy mine from Sam's Club in a big bag where they are all individually packaged... they are a pain to pull apart when they are all frozen together... this way just seams easiest to me... not the most eco-friendly though... sorry enviroment!)

Sprinkle with Salt and Lemon Pepper (you can't go wrong, but make sure you put quite a bit on... its good stuff!)
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until fish flake with a fork.

Serve with steamed broccoli (I just buy the Frozen broccoli florets... we have bad luck with fresh broccoli going bad, and the frozen kind tastes just as good to us)

and Rice a Roni (use this kind... it is the BEST, and it's brown rice... so um, healthy right?)

***I can't take all the credit for this yummy meal combo... My wonderful SIL Em showed it to me. She always has ears of corn and crescent rolls with it too... very good. ***

Haystacks

I'm not sure how healthy this is but I feel healthy when I am eating it because of all the veggies... does that count?

Rice (as much as you need depending on your family size)
1 pkg. Chicken- cubed
Lemon Pepper
1 Green Pepper- diced
1 Tomato- diced
Green Onion- chopped
Chow Mein Noodles
Pineapple Tid-bits
Olives

Celery, chopped

Gravy:
1 can Chicken Broth
2 cans Cream of Chicken

Cook rice. Cook chicken and season with anything you want, I use Lemon Pepper. Mix the gravy together and heat. It makes a LOT of sauce. I usually just freeze 1/2 can of the broth (dumped into a freezer bag) to be used at another time so that makes it easier to 1/2 the recipe.

Add any of these toppings, and any others that you can think of... this recipe and picture are from my sister's recipe blog but we usually add more veggies-- broccoli, carrots, cucumber etc... And I can't find the noodles here in Canada so we don't even put those on there.

Recipes for the Scales

Okay, I'll admit it. This week's recipe search is for me. That right. I need motivation to eat right...real bad. I have had fun trying new recipes with this, so I thought, "Hey, if people posted yummy healthy recipes, then maybe I could fill my meal plan up with them and start eating healthier!"  So please, SHARE if you care!

But until we make these delicious recipes... doesn't laughing burn calories? ;D
