Like everyone else, I’ve got a full schedule. I love to cook but right now I have to get dinner on the table fast as I just don’t have time to peruse cookbooks and experiment. So I’m the Queen of 20 minute dinners.
Dinner last night was cod with brown rice and salad.
The cod was not defrosted when I came down to the kitchen because I have not lived through enough East Coast winters to understand that food will not defrost in a freezing cold kitchen. Good to know!
So I defrosted it by poaching it in an inch of boiling water with a half a lemon squeezed into and a lot of sea salt and pepper. Then I transferred it into a roasting pan with more lemon, melted butter, and olive oil and put it in the oven to broil.
Meanwhile, I made brown rice in the rice cooker.
The salad was chopped red bell pepper, avocado, seeded cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes (olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing).
For a very quick sauce I used lemon juice, capers, mayo, and salt and pepper. The dinner was delicious and didn’t eat up my entire evening to make it.
My blog is dedicated to my Life Mission: Living a happy and fulfilled life, caring about body, mind, and spirit. I hope you come back and read how you can define, explore, and live your Life Mission.
