The Incredible Sandwich

This is the Incredible Sandwich.....not what you thought huh??? A friend of mine, Matt Mckinney (far right) is the lead vocalist and guitarist for this amazing jam band. I had not had the pleasure of seeing them since 2008 and they finally got to come to Cordele Saturday night. They were AWESOME! They definitely know how to put on a show. If you are looking for some awesome new music for your ipod please go check out the incredible sandwich on itunes or pandora!! Happy listening....

Go Matt!

Healthy Dinner!!

I started my new healthy eating plan today and so far it hasn't been too bad. After Maggie was a champ at Bonefish I knew I could atleast try. Breakfast..1/4 cup Naked juice and protein bar, lunch...tuna with mayo :), and a pluot, snack...hummas and whole grain pita chips, grapes, and granola, and supper, only the most amazing recipe ever!! I got this from Southern living and it is amazing and SO easy.



Parmesan Crusted Flounder (I used tilapia because you know Cordele does not have Flounder!!)



Place 1/2 cup butter into 9x13 baking pan and melt at 450 until it is melted and begins to brown (you can use smart balance).

Salt and pepper 4 pieces of fish.

When butter is ready place fish inside butter and let it cook for 10 minutes.

While fish is cooking mix 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp paprika in bowl.

After 10 minutes flip the fish and pour the cheese and paprika mix onto the fish. Let bake 5 more minutes.

Then squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the fish and broil it until it becomes flaky.



SOOO GOOD!
