Baked Catfish Over Asparagus Packet


I cooked this for the second time last night & had to share this! So delish & no mess! 

You can substitute chicken if you are not a fan of fish. 

*Pre-heat oven to 450
*Make a packet out of foil
*In only one layer, spread out a serving of asparagus. I prefer fresh asparagus & our "one serving" is half a "bunch".  Half a bunch is a good bit to eat but I don't cook other sides with it. 
*Drizzle 1 Tbsp of olive oil over asparagus & then season. I prefer a little salt, a dash of pepper & a sprinkle of garlic powder.
*Place frozen fish (or chicken) over asparagus then sprinkle 1 Tbsp of olive oil over fish. Use your regular seasoning for fish. I prefer a little salt, a dash of pepper, a sprinkle of garlic powder, some paprika, lemon juice & dried parsley flakes. 
*Close packet & fold up sides  
*Bake for approximately an hour- testing your meat with a themometer to ensure it's cooked thoroughly.

The asparagus is so tender & perfect! My husband loves this meal!!!

Eat out of the packet, ball it up & throw it away! I am gonna start cooking more meals in packets. Love the easy clean up!  

Hope you enjoy!

These Nasty Toes

You know that saying, "moms can't run on fumes, you have to refuel or you'll stop running all together" (& will crash into a concrete wall-my concept). Well yesterday was one of those days where it felt like I was running on fumes. I just want to vow to myself right now to never forget how desperate moments can be with small children. To never forget that it wasn't easy. There hasn't been an easy day since the new addition has arrived. There has been less hard but never not hard.  My refuel came when I had to wake my poor husband up early from sleeping (he's working nights) because both kids were screaming again & I just couldn't handle it any longer, especially on 3 hours of broken up sleep. I just couldn't. I refused to yell at my 2yr old any more for not listening to me. I refused to let my infant see me cry anymore as I fed him. So, as I'm streaming tears & getting dressed for my escape I see my toes. These nasty lookin...

5 Gross Habits of a Stay at Home Mom

Image
#1. You smell bad & you don't care. Sometimes maybe you wipe your arm pits with a wipe while changing the baby. You'll get around to showering or you have already & you've broken quite a sweat taking care of the baby! Work hard, smell bad. Isn't that how the saying goes?  #2. You're gonna floss next time you brush your teeth... every time.   At times you secretly wonder if your baby was fussy because she had to smell your bad breath in the middle of the night ... Or day.  #3. If you do get to shower you don't hardly wash your hair or shave.  Only if you're getting out of the house does your hair & face get attention. Your children need to know what natural beauty is anyway, right? Husband too... just trying this European thing honey! #4. You're no longer afraid of substances the come out of your child's orifices.   That major booger/snot phobia of your younger days is no longer. Maybe you've even ...

Dyeing with tea bags: It works & It's Easy!

Image
For this to be successful you must dye something lighter than the tea. I've heard it works with other color/flavor tea but I used regular ole Lipton!  I wanted to revamp the best booties ever! Love these things, the baby couldn't pull them off like socks & they weren't cheap. Plus they were super cute & soft! They were a light cream but had become dingy around the heel. I tried cloroxing them several times but couldn't get them back looking new.  I was looking on Pinterest on the best way to dye fabric & discovered "tea dyeing". I saw where people have dyed their table cloths, curtains, clothes etc. to get that perfect burlap/country chic color. So, I gave it a try & I love the results! A perfect tan color. I can use these with the next baby & they will go with everything! I l ove the results! A perfect tan color. I can use these with the next baby & they will go with everything! *Follow these steps with a swatch first*   1) Boil a few ...
