I don’t post about food much, but I actually find it interesting to know what other people eat. Tonight I’m a little proud of my dinner, since it involved baking fish (which makes me feel like a grown-up for some reason), so I’m gonna lay it on you.

I made baked tilapia with lemon and garlic. I adapted it from this recipe, and did this:

– rinse 2 tilapia filets and pat dry with paper towels
– mince 2 cloves of garlic and sautee in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil for a few minutes
– place tilapia in a baking dish and squeeze the juice of one lemon over both filets
– pour butter/olive oil/garlic mixture over filets
– bake at 375 degrees until tilapia is white and flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes

I didn’t have parsley flakes like the recipe called for, but I imagine that would be yummy! I had one filet for dinner and the other will be for lunch tomorrow (score!).

I also ate half of a red bell pepper and half of an avocado while the fish baked. The other halves will be for lunch as well.

I usually eat light after working out, since it kind of kills my hunger anyway. But I find that if I don’t eat at all/don’t eat enough, my tummy will be rumbling by the time I go to bed and I won’t sleep well. Tonight’s dinner was light, but filling.

In terms of other dinners, I am currently obsessed with:

– salads with romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado and a carmelized onion/poppyseed dressing
– red bell peppers
– toasted flat bread with hummus
– sliced zucchini and yellow squash sauteed in olive oil
– asparagus sauteed in olive oil
– penne pasta with olive oil and parmesan

I’m very much a creature of habit and go through phases of eating the same things over and over. I’ve eaten plain oatmeal for breakfast — just ½ cup oats and 1 cup of water in the microwave — for about a year now, and I don’t crave any variation on that.

This is a good thing in the sense that I can stick to healthy eating habits once I’ve developed them, but maybe bad in terms of have a varied diet. Oh, well — I just like what I like!
