Favorite Family Recipes

I do like to cook, and I figure if I have to eat, I might as well enjoy it. :-) On this page, I’ll be sharing recipes that our whole family enjoys. To make it more interesting, I’ll try to have a picture of each recipe I post. If you decide to try any of these, please feel free to leave a comment on how or if you liked the dish.

 

Something Fishy

My kids really don’t enjoy eating fish too much, but they really liked this recipe. When I take the tilapia out of the oven it is brown and bubbly and smells wonderful.  I thought it looked wonderful, but my daughter mentioned today that she thought this photo looked like fish with a bad case of acne. Uh, I hope you haven’t lost your appetite, because this recipe really is wonderful and worth a try.

Eggstrodinary!

We love eggs for breakfast and eat them probably more than we should. Years ago, my husband’s aunt Esther introduced us to her way of making eggs. Take an egg and fry it in extra virgin olive oil(over easy). It’s simple and the taste is superb.
