Ceasar Fish

This is the easiest fish recipe and it's so tasty! It's my husband's fav!

Fish Fillets (salmon, basa, polluck etc)
Ceasar dressing (also works well with ranch, or try your favorite)
Crushed croutons or soda crackers
s and p
olive oil

Place fillets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Preheat oven to 350. Pile dressing, then s and p and then croutons on the fish. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook according to fish instructions. Usually about 15 min.

Chicken breast

1 Tbsp cornstarch

combine. mix in cubed pork or chicken.

1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp soya sauce
1/2 c water

Combine.

Fry chicken. Add liquid mixture. Boil 1 min. Serve with rice and garnish with lemon slices.

Note: Would be easy to substitute 1/2 tsp stevia for sugar.

Corn Bread

My favorite corn bread recipe which is by Betty Crocker, substituted with stevia instead of sugar.

1c milk
1/4 c marg
1 egg
1 1/4 c cornmeal
1c flour
1/3 tsp Stevia
1 Tbsp baking powder

Heat oven to 400. Grease 8x8" pan. Beat wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients and add to wet. Stir just until moistened. Pour into pan. Bake 20-25 min.

Cloth Menstrual Pads

Among other accomplishments this month, this has been my greatest, I learned how to sew and created some much needed pads. I use a Diva Cup regularly but I'm thinking postpartum and preparing. These pics are of the first version, where I measured my regular pads and sewed them accordingly. Unfortunately this did not allow room to snap the wings together. So I amended the pattern with an extra inch on each wing so that they will snap together nicely under your underwear.

* I kept the original pads that didn't have long enough wings to snap together and they work just fine, they sit on your underwear nicely without moving around. I didn't end up using any of my postpartum size as my bleeding was really minimal.
