Coconut-Encrusted Tilapia and More Yams!!!

Waste not, want not. This is the Eat Move Write credo.

So, as you know, I made yam fries for lunch.



Since Ryan had cooked the burgers the night before, I only needed to warm mine up. It shared a tray with the yams in the sauna.



I even got to use my new plate.



The yams were the obvious stars of the show.



After lunch, I had alot of writing to do, so the afternoon went really quick. Before I knew it, it was time to go pick up Ryan from work. Did I mention that drive is an hour round trip? Yeah... about that...

Dinner tonight was by candlelight, and not just any candle. My creme brulee candle... I like my candles to smell like things that are far too caloric for me to eat on a regular basis. Smells however are completely calorie free! :D



About dinner... It was scrumptious.

Coconut-encrusted tilapia with a side of shellie beans (love) and the leftover yam fries. The fries were a bit mushy since I didn't take the time to re-bake them. Still, I try to always use up my leftovers if I can.

About that tilapia... Yum! We love tilapia. We try to eat fish pretty regularly, but right now I'm avoiding tuna and salmon because we're trying for a baby. I know there are lots of other fishies in the sea, but pretty much those three are our favs.




Everything was delicious, but the shellie beans stole the show.


 

See... I grew up eating shellie beans. My gram and gramps had a garden, and they canned them for the winter months. So we were spoiled. Fresh shellie beans all year around. Here in Cali, they are impossible to find -- even canned. I found these at the 99 cent store. Go figure!

Now, I'm about to study some chemistry. I have class tomorrow from 5:30-10pm! That's a loooong day!




What was/is your favorite subject in school? Mine is definitely not chemistry or anything math-related. I love health and writing classes (of course). I also have always loved history, psychology, and sociology.

  3. Chemistry is my foe. And lucky me, I get to take another course in it this summer! But it's hard for me to pick a favorite class this semester. I like anything that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a pencil.

  4. I'm a Psychology major so aside from that, I've always loved English and Science. And those yam fries are yumm-o. ;)
