Monthly Menu May 2022

 Wow, it's been awhile. I had a good tax season - my mind was sharp, I worked hard, and prepared a lot of returns; but, it took all of my energy and I am just now getting some back. (Who am I talking to? My future self, for when I go to look at past menus and I ask myself why I never have anything for April and May!) I have been writing menus, just not posting them, and they often don't get used because we wind up not eating dinner, just having a salad, or getting takeout. So let's get started with a partial May menu.

16 Mon Italian sausage tortellini with thin sliced zucchini in marinara sauce

17 Tue Crock Pot barbecue chicken, steamed sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts

18 Wed Minestrone Soup, corn bread 

19 Thu fish, quinoa, zucchini

Sheet Pan Tilapia and Vegetables

 This recipe came from Gimme Delicious.com. I will list it how I made it.

3-4 tilapia filets (3 was perfect for hubby and I)

3 Tablespoons olive oil

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon mineral salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

broccoli florets (from two heads)

asparagus spears (one bunch)

Heat oven to 400 (I increase mine by 5 degrees because it seems to run a little cool)

place tilapia and veggies on sheet pan covered in parchment paper

mix rest of the ingredients and pour over fish and veggies

roast for about 15 minutes

Delicious and easy!
