Herb tilapia with shallot cream sauce

This Delicious dish is very indulgent. Tilapia filets are marinated in fresh lemon juice and lemon pepper, red mashed potatoes and grilled garlic asparagus are surrounded by a pool of cream sauce made with shallots, lemon, wine, and butter and of course cream. It's a very filling and rich dinner.

Turkey burgers and creamy slaw

I make this meal probably twice a month, it's a quick and easy favorite of my household. The slaw is just shredded carrots and finely chopped romaine mixed with 1 parts mayo 1/2 parts white wine vinegar, serve it atop a turkey burger and wheat bun, pair with sweet potato fries.

Chicken tortellini soup

This is my go to comfort soup starting in the fall and all winter long. It's easy because I used premade chicken herb tortellini. Sauté 2 cups chopped baby carrots, chopped celery and 1/4 cup minced onion in olive oil and minced garlic. Once soft, add a carton of low sodium chicken broth and chicken stock along with chopped spinach, parsley and white pepper. You bring all that to a boil and then add the tortellini, turn off heat and summer 20 minutes. Serve with warm bread.

Valentine pizza

This is the pizza pre-oven that I enjoyed with my sweetie on February 14th 2012. Please excuse the overused pizza sheet, I didn't feel like getting my pizza stone out.
