Garlic Butter Tilapia with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes

A super quick clean out the pantry meal tonight. I made the recipe as is, and the green beans are a frozen garlic butter blend and instant mashed potatoes. It was really good for a quick pantry meal! Quick meals for busy nights with a baby :)

Spicy Lemon Garlic Baked Tilapia with Cornbread and Cheesy Broccoli

 

Spicy Lemon Garlic Baked Tilapia with Cornbread and Cheesy Broccoli

                                                                        Ripley says Hi. 

 I used this recipe for Spicy Lemon Garlic Baked Tilapia by Whisked Affair. The only different thing I did was instead of hot paprika, I used some cayenne. Then I made a Jiffy box of cornbread with a scoop of sour cream, I find that helps the cornbread not be so dry. The broccoli was just a steamable bag, that I mixed with garlic/pepper/salt and some 2% shredded cheddar!

  The top plate was for my husband and I, the bottom for my son since he's a teenager and eats a ton lol.

  This was a mish mash of recipes and what we had on hand. For the breading I used the rest of the panko I had, jalapeno and spicy pork rinds, chili lime seasoning and chipotle seasoning. I just smashed them up all together then air fried the tilapia at like 370 for about 8 minutes. 

  The Cucumber Avocado Salsa was just 1 chopped cucumber, 2 small avocados, cilantro, and a few leftover tbs of red onion. Mixed with sea salt, lime juice and cumin. My son swears he hates avocado, but I didn't tell him what was in it and he ate it happily lol.

  The Mac & Cheese  was just Annie's Shells & White Cheddar, and while making the sauce I added minced garlic and red pepper flakes. 

  The salad was just a romaine heart chopped up with pepper and a carrot. The dressing was Skinny Girl Poppyseed dressing which wasn't very good. I haven't been able to find ANY salad dressings I like lately, they all taste too processed. I think I need to start making my own.

Then for the veggies I chopped up 1 bunch of asparagus and 1 summer squash. I tossed it with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic and roasted it for 400 degrees for 20 minutes. 

The mashed potatoes were just instant mashed potatoes lol.
