Quick & Easy Pizza is never out of style

Hello my lovelies! I have been slacking on my food shares lately and I apologize. It isn't that we aren't eating because of course we are lol but it just has been a crazy last few months. The holidays always mess with my routine as I am sure it does with most of us. You are making these large meals, visiting friends or eating out so sitting a preparing food posts unless that is truly your routine just isn't a priority.

So I thought I would go back in my vault and share a quick, simple and tasty treat that I go to when I am in a rush but want some Pizza in my life! I shared this some time ago so it will also serve as my Throw Back Thursday!!! Hope you enjoy :)

Ingredients:
-muffins or bagels
-pasta sauce
-mozzarella cheese
-any toppings you like

Thursday Reveal....

So my reveal today is I love Pizza, yeah who doesn't? I love Pizza but I don't want to order it, pick it up or make it from scratch that is unless it is easy and stress free.

When a girlfriend of mine shared with me a way that I could make Pizza  at anytime for under 20 minutes I was hooked. She said she couldn't believe I had never tried it. I explained to her I had never thought of it actually. Can you believe that? Please do, its the truth I never thought of it or even heard of what I am about to share....

Here goes

1- Slices of bread, English muffins or bagels (depends on your liking and amount depends on family size).
2- Sauce, whatever flavor or brand you like. I use Ragu Traditional when I want to keep simple.
3- Mozzarella Cheese already shredded is best saves you time but if you want to cut your on slices go right ahead!
4- Toppings, this time I used Pepperoni for my added topping but as always I say use what works best for you.

Lay out the slices, spread the sauce, add toppings and cheese. Place on a tray toast till cheese is melting and bread is crisp....DONE!!!!!
I got home tonight at 6:15 and by 6:35 we were eating. 


This is my idea of quick and easy. Here are some pics!!


Always stress free xo

Tilapia w/ Honey and Mustard sauce garnished with Mango

Thursday's treat!!!

You didn't think because I was doing the September challenge I would neglect my Thursday treat did you?
Good...because here it is!

First I have to admit this was put together as I went along. Another one of those days I got home and was like huh? What are we going to eat?

Ingredients:
-Tilapia fish
-honey
-mustard
-olive oil
-mango fruit (sliced or cubed)
-tomatoes
-lettuce
-small potatoes (optional)

Start to finish this took me about 40 minutes tops.

In a medium bowl I added 3 tbsps of mustard and 2 tbsps of honey, you can play around with amounts to your liking. I took 3 pre-packaged Tilapia pieces out of the freezer, ran them under some water for a few then I just rinsed them lightly and placed them in the bowl mix until fully coated. The fish weren't totally frozen like a brick since I had bought the bag day before so that was help with defrost process lol.
I added 2 tbsps of olive oil to flat skillet I was using turned up to medium heat. Flipped fish around a few more times when oil was ready, added the fish.
I cooked them about 10 minutes on each side or until turned lightly brown in color and light crisp.



While that was going on I made a side salad of lettuce and tomatoes, coated with remainder of sauce from the Tilapia.
I bought earlier in the week a pre-cut package of mango so that saved me some time.
For myself I baked 2 small red potatoes my daughter opted out.
Fish lightly brown and crisp and ready to serve.
Topped with my cubed mango pieces, yummy.
The salad was awesome with the sauce too!!!
I thought to myself...hey not bad for thinking off the top of your head.
Healthy, quick, fun and easy.
Enjoy.
Always stress free xo
