Default How do you prepare tilapia?

I know I'm a little late in the game but I thought I would add a bit more fish to my menu. Tilapia is so inexpensive, farmed and [maybe?] no bones.

So today I don't have much in my pantry and I fried the tilapia in fresh garlic, bermuda onions and oi, and cooked spinach and white beans in a separate pan with chicken stock. It needed wine and lemon but I didn't have any. I will get some.

I boil up a lb of spaghetti each week and dip into that. Everything gets mixed and served.

So how do you prepare tilapia?

Fredman speaks the truth. Get out that ChromeBook and type in beside goldfish which is the next unhealthiest fish to buy. I think Fred just save you.

Bake with a generous slathering of Hellmann's mayonnaise and some garlic powder.

I am still not over being put down because I use Velveeta cheese.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Lightly dust it in flour with seasoned salt and paprika mixed in. Pan fry in a skillet. Won't take very long as it is usually thin.

Please, Velveeta is NOT cheese! It is merely a processed cheese product. Velveeta - Wikipedia

Velveeta is very meltable and is yummy made into a sauce over broccoli and cauliflower, with a little flour, half and half and butter, salt and pepper.

I seem to please the folks that eat at my table. They always readily return when asked again to come and eat.

Well, that is totally wonderful, but Velveeta has no cheese in it whatsoever. It is a manufactured product.

It was reformulated in 1953 as a "cheese spread",[2] but as of 2002 Velveeta must be labeled in the United States as a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product" because the FDA found no real cheese in the product at that time.[3][4]

The name "Velveeta" was intended to connote a velvety smooth edible product.[5] Smoothness and melting ability are promoted as properties that result from reincorporating the whey with the curd. The brand has been successfully made into a varied Velveeta-based product line with products like cheesy bites, mac & cheese, and cheesy skillets. As is the case with most processed cheeses, the manufacturer recommends Velveeta be refrigerated after opening.

Today we had roast beef, slowly cooked chuck roast, tender and delicious. Mashed potatoes and gravy, yeast rolls, slaw with lime juice and mayonnaise and sugar and pineapple. Broccoli casserole, Sweet potato casserole with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.

And a beautiful Vanilla two layer cake.

Ohio Fare. Easter Day.

OK, but I far prefer a tenderloin roast over stringy chuck (gag), far less fat, healthier and much more flavorful. I hope you used fresh lime juice and pineapple in your slaw. It does make a difference. Maui Gold is my favorite. Home page My father was a Safeway manager and we enjoyed great cuts of meat from the butcher. I am probably spoiled. Oh well...

We had a New Zealand leg of lamb with rosemary from my garden, French cut blue lake green beans almondine, red potatoes roasted with olive oil and fresh garlic, a butter lettuce salad, and apple pie! I rarely eat cake. I find it way too sweet for my taste unless it comes from a Japanese bakery. Sorry.
