Okay, so I made the Greek Tilapia. The seasonings were great and perfect for dipping fresh crusty bread in. An incredibly simple recipe. I don't generally use measurements any more unless I'm baking because I have not yet baked enough to be THAT confident.
I used a glass 13 x 9 glass pan, coated the bottom with olive oil (just until the bottom was covered). Then I placed the Tilapia fillets in the pan so that they were not overlapping. I spooned some prepared pesto from the Wegman's olive bar onto the fillets and made sure they were covered with the green yumminess. Then surround the fillets with 1 inch cubed roma tomatoes. Covered all of that with Feta cheese and then poured olive oil over all of it until the fish was almost completely covered by oil. Baked uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes.
It took about 15 minutes to put together, and that was with me digging for the glass pan in my kitchen upheaval. It was quick and delicious.
My family is renovating our kitchen given that we have lived with a 1960's kitchen for a over a year now in our "new" house. Today begins the process which shall culminate with me having an electric convection wall oven and gas cooking range!
This week it's easy foods that don't make dishes or a big mess. I'm currently relegated to the half finished basement where we have a sink and our old gas stove. GAS STOVE oh how I have missed thee! No more waiting 45 minutes for water to boil and then to have my noodles, sauce, pudding, pork tenderloins, grilled tuna melts be scorched and blackened by the perverse heat of 40 year old electric coils!
*cue hallelujah chorus ( I feel it warranted)*
This joyful celebration is met with the severe annoyance of having to run upstairs every 2 seconds to dig through the numerous kitchen boxes that we have stashed in our dining room and livingroom until we get the kitchen done because "oh crud, I forgot a spoon/pan/strainer/salt/ tongs"
BUT IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT! I'm going to hijack my mom's new camera and take pictures of the new kitchen to post as well as the christening meal! Now to figure out the first meal menu...
