Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Cajun skillet flounder

Oh hey.  Look.  It's 2016.  And my last post was in 2015.  In May.  That's pretty bad.

 Last time I posted I was still unemployed.  That was a pretty rough period.  Since then I landed an awesome job and have been busy.  And apparently not cooking for my family much.  Or at least not posting when I do.

So let's get back into the habit, shall we?

We'll start off with a Skinny Taste recipe that was quick and easy. 
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 4 (6 oz) pieces flounder fillets (or any white fish such as tilapia)
  • 3/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Cajun spice seasoning

Directions:

In a deep skillet, saute onion and garlic in olive oil on medium heat for a few minutes until soft. Add tomatoes, peppers and spices, stir and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 2-3 minutes.  
Lay fish fillets in the sauce, cover and cook on medium-low until fish flakes easily, approx 10 minutes. To serve, place fish on plate and spoon sauce on top. Serve immediately.


That's it.  Quick and easy, and extremely flavorful.  We added some hot steamed rice to soak up the juices and some roasted cauliflower for extra veggies.
