Panko crusted cod, roasted veggies and balsamic onions

This is an incredibly delicious, healthy meal that in super easy to whip up on a weeknight or for a fancy dinner. The panko topping on the fish is addictive and keeps the fish tender, moist and flaky. Sweet potatoes and broccoli add color to the meal, nutrition and are absolutely divine roasted. The onions are the perfect decadent side without being actually decadent!

This is a total stand by fish recipe- feel free to rotate in season veggies. The balsamic onions are amazing with literally everything- make them whenever you want something even more delicious than caramelized onions. Yum!

Ingredients:
4 fillets of cod
1/4 cup mayo
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoon butter
16 ounces broccoli florets
2 sweet potatoes cut into 1/2 inch cubes
olive oil
salt and pepper
2 sweet onion cut into half moon slices
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Method:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss broccoli and sweet potatoes in oil and salt and pepper generously. Place in a single layer in a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Meanwhile, place the onion in a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat until browned, about 20 minutes. Add in the balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced, about 5 more minutes. Set aside.

Combine the panko, mayo, mustard and lemon juice in a bowl to form a mixture like wet sand. Salt and pepper the fillets. Mound on the tops of the fillets and place over pats of butter. Place the fillets on a baking sheet and bake in the 400 degree oven with the veggies at the end of their cooking time for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 ...

Deluxe BLT- with avocado, Emmental cheese, and asiago bread

I don't normally feature sandwiches on this blog, but I simply cannot ignore this one. It's too good! The method is dead simple, but perhaps I can include a tip or two you may not have thought of to elevate your BLT to the next level! Ingredients: Bacon, best quality but thinly sliced Tomatoes (ideally fresh from your garden) Romaine lettuce Mayo Emmental cheese Asiago bread salt, pepper, butter Method: In a large sheet pan with a wire rack, lay your bacon out. In a preheated 400 degree F oven, bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Slice your tomatoes and salt and pepper them. The salt is non-negotiable despite the saltiness from the bacon- the salt brings the flavor out of the tomato. Do not skip! Slice avocados. Rip lettuce to desired sizes for bread. Freshly slice bread and butter one side. In a large pan over medium high head, toast the buttered side of each bread slice. Lay a slice of Emmental cheese on one of the bread slices, and allow to melt. Time to con...
