So Now What? Some Yummy Supper Eats, That’s What!

So I’m sitting here today overwhelmed with the exposure that my little blog has gotten, and I’m thinking to myself “okay so what do I blog about tonight?!”  Since super-hubby fixed up my Window Live Writer I was due for AND up for some serious photoblogging tonight!

For those of you who have arrived at my blog for the first time, thank you for coming to support me on the rest of my journey :-D

(Oh and ignore the date stamp on the pics, I didn’t realize that was turned on until after!)

I give you:

Tyee Baked Haddock with Balsamic Brussels Sprouts & Roasted Garlic Broccoli

And since I have many new readers today, I thought I would include a little step-by-step along the way! :-)

Roasted Garlic Broccoli

I had always wanted to try roasting garlic myself and thanks to a post that Cat wrote showing just how easy it was, I roasted a head of garlic on Friday and put it in the fridge to use another day.  Today I decided to warm it up in the microwave and put it in the bottom of the bowl:

Then I washed my broccoli and threw it in the bowl with the roasted garlic.  It’s an important step because the moisture in the broccoli helps it steam in the oven (yes the oven! I am not a fan mushy boiled or steamed broccoli!).

Season with salt & pepper:

    

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.  I use this “Misto” sprayer that I bought at Paderno.  It’s fantastic because you put your own oil inside and it pumps into a spray without any aerosol or any chemicals.  If you ever come across one, BUY IT!!

Toss in the broccoli and set aside.

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

I never ate these ever in my life until recently and I’m a major fan!  They definitely don’t deserve a bad rep!

To prepare them, simply cut off the stem:

 

Peel away the outer leaves and discard:

Cut them in half:

Rinse:

Toss them in the same bowl you used for the broccoli, because a little bit of garlic coating will never hurt anything :-D

Coat with some EVOO & Balsamic vinegar:

  Season with salt & pepper:

Spray another casserole dish and toss them in:

  

Tyee Baked Haddock

I picked up a few beautiful haddock filets the other day and they are always sooooo easy to make!  I never do anything “gourmet” because it’s super easy and delicious and I never want to over power the flavour of the fish. 

Today I decided to give the Tyee Fish Rub I received in my sample package from Epicure Selections a try and I sprinkled the filet with the rub:

    

This is the reason why I have no problem endorsing a Canadian company like Epicure:

No funny business going on there!

Thrown them all in the oven at about 400. Actually, you should thrown the vegetables in first for at least 10-15 minutes, then add the fish.  The fish will only take about 10 minutes! 

Yum…

..myyyy…

  …ness...

I also had some leftover beets from Sunday and I threw them on the side:

I heart beets :-)

It was a delicious!  The Tyee rub was milder than I expected and I added some S&P.  This meal is really low in calories and if you count POINTS, you only have to count the fish and the olive oil!  This meal was really only about 6 POINTS in total!  I’m STUFFED!
