Grilled Tilapia Salad

Tilapia is one of my favorite fishes to eat. I don't think there is a wrong way to cook it and it goes with anything.

For the salad:

• 1 grilled Tilapia fillet sprayed with nonstick cook spray and seasoned with lemon and herb spices
• 1.5 cups mixed greens-baby spinach and kale
• 1 cup broccoli slaw
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup avocado, sliced
• 1 hard boiled egg, sliced
• 1 tablespoon dried cherries
• 1 tablespoon unsalted pepitas and sunflower seeds

After the tilapia had finished on the grill use a fork to shred it and spread it on top of assembled salad. 

A Taste of Summer

We finally got a taste of summer in the Mitten! It was 82 degrees yesterday and right now it's 74. It felt so good to be outside after being cooped up all winter. Cora has been loving the warmer weather and has been in the lake 24/7.

I started yesterday out with chocolate strawberry and peanut butter banana overnight oats.

• Bottom layer: 1/4 cup Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 cup steel cut oats
• 1/3 banana sliced
• 1.5 tablespoons PB2 
• 1/4 cup Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• 14 cup steel cut oats
• 4 large strawberries sliced
• 1.5 tablespoons Chocolate PB2
• 1/4 banana sliced- after I took the picture I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on top of the banana

Place in fridge overnight and it's ready to go in the morning! I love preparing oats in mason jars. There are endless possibilities and it is the perfect breakfast to grab and go.

After a sunny fun filled day outside with Cora I did not feel like having anything hot to eat so I used what was already in the fridge for a salad.

• 1.5 cups broccoli slaw
• 1/4 cup sliced avocado
• 1 hard boiled egg sliced
• 1 grilled chicken breast diced up
• 2 tablespoons dried tart cherries
• 2 tablespoons unsalted sunflower seeds and unsalted pumpkin seeds 

Hope you get out and enjoy the warm weather!

Overnight Oats

Overnight oats make my life very easy. You can prepare oats in jars for the entire weeks so you can grab and go. 

Any and all types of fruit can be used. Some of my favorite fruits to use are: blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, strawberries, bananas, mango, and pineapple. 

I use wide lid mason jars because I think it's easier to fill, eat, and clean. 

The layers in this jar are:

• less than 1/4 cup greek yogurt
• 4 strawberries, sliced in half
• 1/3 cup steel cut oats
• 1 kiwi, sliced
• less than 1/4 cup greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup steel cut oats
• 1/2 small banana, sliced
• 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon

Allow to cool in refrigerator overnight. Don't mix until you're ready to eat it to prevent oats from getting soggy.
