Sometimes, all you have to do is look to your pantry for inspiration.
I bought some Local Colorado Tilapia and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it.
Then I saw almond meal sitting on the shelf. Bingo.

Flavor Combo Perfection
Almond Encrusted Tilapia
- Tilapia
- Egg whites
- Milk of choice (I used Almond Milk)
- Almond Meal
- Sliced Almonds (optional)
- Salt & Peppa (not of the musical variety)
- Lemon
- Place the Filets in an egg white and milk wash ( I used about 2 T of each I think–I eyeballed it)
- Coat each filet with almond meal
- Top with S&P, sliced almonds, and a spritz on lemon juice
- Bake at 375 (350 for non mountaineers) for 18 minutes
I was very happy with the finished product. I think the way to describe the flavor was…elegant.
I also non-elegantly demolished ate this concoction in the evening.
Greek Yogurt, Apple Butter, Blubs, and Almonds.
I know I’m giving flax facts, but due to the almondy nature of this post….
ALMOND Fact of the Day: Almonds are one of the best nutritionally packed foods for you, but they do turn to arsenic in your stomach.
Arsenic is medicinal in small doses and only a large amount is deadly. So, unless you consume a pound of bitter almonds a day, I think you’re alright.
Exciting things in store for the next few days.
Kicking off with…. a free cooking class at Whole Foods!
I’ll be back with a recap soon!

Whoa, that’s so weird about almonds. I never knew that! That means I will soon have arsenic in my stomach since I’m having almonds with breakfast. Good way to start a conversation later, don’t you think?
Hope you had fun at the cooking class!! I’m sure that wasn’t a problem though
Love odd conversation starters. The more random the better
The cooking class is tonight! Soo pumped
That’s crazy! Arsenic?! Geez, I hope almond butter doesn’t have that effect. I’ve been known to put away a LOT of almond butter at a time
Hmm… seeing as I ate half my batch of marzipan last night, I must have a rather arsenicky stomach. Oops!
Haha, your officially a ‘deadly weapon’
