Dinner!!!

Dec 07, 2010

I just wanted to write a quick post about my dinner.

Tonight I went to the grocery store and got some frozen tilapia from a brand called Waterfront Bistro (Vons and Safeway carries the brand, but I don't know who else does...). This was the first time I've tried this brand and I chose a tilapia pre-marinated in a black pepper marinade. I also got some Green Giant brand broccoli that's "lightly sauced" with a cheese sauce.

The tilapia took 15 minutes in the oven on a baking sheet covered in foil and the broccoli and cheese steamed in it's bag in the microwave in 15 minutes. So within 15 minutes I had my dinner ready with NO DIRTY DISHES other than the plate and fork I used to eat.

I was a little nervous because I have been having some trouble with getting sick and I've definitely been having a hard time getting enough calories in. The tilapia came with 2 filets, but I only made one and split it with my boyfriend, which gave us each about 3 ounces. I also had about 3 pieces of the broccoli. EVERYTHING TASTED SO FREAKING DELICIOUS!!! I had no nausea, no pain, and I was able to eat everything and keep it down. I'm quite full, but not uncomfortable.

I just had to post about this because the meal really made me feel like I can handle this. I can make a really truly delicious meal that is healthy, and I can actually enjoy it! It was quick and easy and had no clean up other than throwing away the wrappers and the foil.

I've been feeling so overwhelmed lately, and I just really needed this tonight. It might seem like it's not a big deal to most people, but it's been so long since I've actually felt in control of my health and my future, and tonight made me feel like I CAN DO THIS!

I guess the post wasn't so quick afterall (haha!) -Andrea
