Clean Eating: Tilapia Cakes

Tilapia Cakes

Ingredients:
  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Paleo Mayo
  • 1 tbsp gluten free mustard
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
This is one of my new favorites! I always buy big bags of frozen tilapia fillets and have eaten them exactly the same for years. I saw some tilapia cake recipes on Pinterest, most of them including crackers, so I modified my recipe to exclude that ingredient. 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a skillet on medium-high heat, cook tilapia fillets. This will take about 3 minutes per side, I usually just check to see if the fish is nice and flaky with a fork.
3. Shred fish and place into a medium size bowl.

4. In olive oil over medium heat, sauté celery and red onion until they are soft (about 6-8 minutes) then add to the bowl.

5. Add mustard, mayo, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
6. With a spoon, scoop mixture into 1/4 cup and place evenly spaced on parchment paper.

7. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Serve warm
Goes perfectly with arugula and a little lemon juice!

January has been an eventful month so far, starting with New Year's and then a few days later turning 24! My birthday fell on a Thursday this year (January 9th, me and Kate Middleton share a birthday so, there's my icebreaker when I meet her.) and it was actually a lot of fun celebrating it at school. I felt so special getting deliveries from my parents, boyfriend, roommate Haley and sweet friend Chrystina- literally I was blushing all day.

I mean. Too sweet.
24 roses for turning 24!

I usually never make a big fuss about my birthday, but this year I am so fortunate to have an amazing friend group in the DFW, so I decided to have a birthday dinner. It was wonderful watching my high school friends mix with college friends who mixed with work friends.. I honestly don't think a smile left my face the entire night.

Grocery List

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
