Easy Parmesean Tilapia

I love fish! I love fish if it’s grilled, baked, fried, in fish tacos, tuna fish sandwiches and I could go on and on about how much I love fish! We do not eat enough fish for my liking and that’s mainly because T is incredibly picky when it comes to fish!  Due to his pickiness I’ve baked and fried fish several different ways to no avail! 🙁  Up until now, he’s only liked my uncles fresh fried fish, but don’t worry, I knew I would prevail!  😉

The Recipe

I have been craving fish for so long that I decided I would tackle the fish beast one more time!  So last week, I thawed out my Tilapia filets and threw together a quick breading, fried those filets up and…SUCCESS!

The 5 Best Things About Being a Step-parent

I realized the other day that I talk a lot about the struggles of being a step-parent, but there are so many amazing things about being a step-parent that I think they deserve some recognition too.

I’m going to do these as a count-down, so without further ado…

5.  I get time “off”.  I know that might sound heartless, but if you’re a parent, you know that there are times that you just need to breathe and have some time for yourself or time alone with your spouse.  It has nothing to with your feelings towards the children, but reality is…I get built in “time off” and I cherish the time alone with T!

Football games, homecoming events, North Iowa Blogger workshops, and more have filled our calendar. So, as much as I would like to say how inspired I’ve been to write lately…I haven’t.

Savory Skillet Sweet Corn

Savory Skillet Sweet Corn

To say that we had our share of sweet corn this summer is an understatement. We’ve grilled quite a few ears, froze enough to get us through till next summer, and have some ears in the fridge still. Once you’ve eaten that much, you’re looking for something new.  I’ve roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots (not for me though, I don’t do cooked carrots) and thought why couldn’t I roast corn?  And thus, Savory Skillet Corn was born.
