Thought I would share some of my favorite summertime food!! The first is a very yummy drink, IZZE! Thank you Ang for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of Izze. They come in several flavors but grapefruit is my personal favorite! It's a delicious fruity drink and SO refreshing in the summer heat! AND it's good for you...no refined sugar, no caffeine, and made with real fruit juice! :) You might have seen them at Starbucks, but they also sell them at certain grocery stores too!
Second is Rainier cherries. Delicious and you can only find them in the summer!
Third, is fish! I love all kinds...maybe b/c I'm from the Houston area and the fish is always fresh. Anyways, I can brag on my parents cooking skills...they are both great cooks! Here is a wonderful Tilapia recipe from my dad. Great for the summer b/c it's light & so simple to make!
Here's the recipe: Tilapia with Lemon and Parmesan
Ingredients:
- Olive Oil or nonstick spray
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 to 6 tilapia fillets
- Juice from 1 lemon
- salt & ground black pepper to taste
Preheat broiler and lightly oil or spray a baking sheet
Mix the mayonnaise and cheese in a small bowl and set aside
Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Broil 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fillets are nearly cooked through
Remove from the oven and top each fillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixure. Return to the broiler and cook until the topping is golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
Do you have a yummy summer recipe?
