made that!

So, I should have used fresh not frozen broccoli because while the flavor was pretty good, the texture was terrible! Live and learn. There is a time to be cheap and a time to break out the big guns and buy fresh broccoli!

The talapia in the picture was made with panko and parsley for the crust. I had pinned it, but the link no longer works, so I can't tell you where it's from and I don't remember exactly what I did. Should have printed it out!

The rice - nothing special. Just cleaning out the cupboard of the last of the food from Nathan's apartment...never mind that it was expired :)

Pinned this...made that! Cheesy Quinoa Cakes

More Quinoa Cakes. These have some yummy cheesy goodness instead of yummy veggie goodness.

made that!

A definite make again recipe!

In my neighborhood, we have a  limited selection of groceries. We have everything you need and occasionally random things that you want. One of the bigger stores just did away with their fancy cheese and hummus...broke my heart. The other store still has hummus and a decent assortment of cheese. But, alas, no Fontina. So, I called mom from the store and she did some quick internet research and determined that I should use Gruyere and a hint of Parmesan to achieve the same effect. The Gruyere i chose was a bit bland (probably because  I bought the obscenely cheap kind). So, if I make this again (which I probably will) I will search the north side of town for Fontina or buy better quality Gruyere.

The aioli was quite tasty! I made panko crusted talapia to go with the cakes and the aioli on the fish was also a nice combination!
