as easy as 1, 2, 3

Sometimes I get caught up trying to make dinner this big, fancy affair. There are so many different recipes that I want to try and so little time. But then there are nights like tonight... after a week that dragged, I was not looking to make anything fancy. So I took what was available to me, and made dinner as easy as 1-2-3!





Ingredient #1: Brussel sprouts! My father picked up two packages for me during his weekly shopping trip... yummm.










Ingredient #2: Sweet potatoes! I adore these little guys.









Ingredient #3: Wild Alaskan Cod! I had the leftover piece from dinner last night and then I took out another piece from the freezer. I was determined to re-do the almond meal crust but this time make it DELICIOUS.






Step 1: Prepare your sweet potatoes! First, preheat your oven to 400 F. Then, scrub, dry, and then remove ends. Slice potatoes width-wise.

Place your slices into a bowl, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil, and your seasonings to taste (I used salt, pepper, and thyme). Shake the bowl, covering all slices well with your olive oil and seasonings. Then, place slices either on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. I chose a loaf pan, like below:

Finally, bake your sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes.

Step 2: Get your brussel sprouts ready. Chop each sprout into half. Then, heat your saute pan with some olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder... or whichever seasonings you prefer. Once heated, add your brussel sprouts.

Cover the brussel sprouts and let them cook. Make sure to check on them and stir occasionally! No one wants unevenly cooked veggies.

Step 3: Just the cod left. Get out two small bowls, and add almond meal to one, and crack (and scramble) an egg into the other. Pat-dry the fish, and then bread each by placing the piece into the egg and then into the almond meal. Then, place each piece into a heated saute pan and let cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side.

Step 4... there is no step four!

           You're all done! Look at that healthy, EASY, delicious meal you made!

Stay hungry, my friends :)
