Hey Smidgers!
Today I’m going to be continuing the summer healthy eating theme that’s been ongoing here on Smidge. If I’m not talking tiny, I’m trying to tempt you into eating better. At least until fall, then all bets are off when it comes to eating. We do like to eat over the holidays down here in south Louisiana. But I digress.
Today’s recipe is a staple at the Smidge household. Garlic lemon thyme fish! I know it’s a mouthful, but trust me you’ll love it. The lovely Amy and I are big seafood fans and eat this pretty regularly. It is an easy dish that we can throw together quickly when neither of us really feel like cooking. I will throw this together while The Lovely Amy whips up some of her famous sweet potatoes and a salad and call it dinner.
The butter that it calls for is optional, but trust me, it really adds to the dish. And it’s really not a large amount, so it isn’t really that bad. Besides, what’s not to love about a butter sauce? A few more push ups or a few more minutes on the treadmill and all is forgiven, right?
In other news, the tiny house got insulated today! It is really starting to come together. We hope to have it complete and ready for a tiny house party in just a few weeks. Stay tuned for a complete update, I just wanted to give you a teaser. Don’t mind the weird watermark. Since I am still at work, The Lovely Amy took pictures for me. She watermarked the pictures because she will probably post an update on her blog as well.
That’s about all for today smidgers. If you like what you have been reading, share the love. Tell your friends and if you haven’t already signed up, please do. Just fill out the form at the top of any page, and I will send you a small cookbook with 10 simple and delish recipes. Thank you.
