About Me

Douglasville, Georgia, United States
I've been battling my PCOS diagnosis for nearly a year now and I'm on my way to living a healthy, productive life. With God by my side, a little education, and a lot of discipline ... life is good. I'm married and expecting our first child! If you're looking for advice on drug therapies and quick fixes, you're in the wrong place. Here, I am taking a diet based approach to PCOS and doing great. But I won't lie, it's a bumpy road and there are backslides. I'm still learning and the journey is far from over. But we take it one day at a time ... and always look to God for guidance in our times of need. :D

PCOS RECIPE: Lemon Pepper Tilapia

Ingredients:


  • Package of fresh tilapia
  • Brown Rice flour (Bob's Red Mill brand is sold at Wal-Mart and Kroger)
  • Lemon Pepper Seasoning or Seasoned Salt (depending on what kind of fish flavor you desire)
  • Stick of butter divided into 1 tablespoon measurements. (for the hard core PCOSers, use almond butter .... but I just can't seem to kick dairy).
Directions:

Take a bowl and mix four parts flour to one part seasoning (either lemon-pepper or seasoned salt). Make a small mixture, you can add more if you need it ... if you get the seasoning at CostCo, BJ's, or Sam's Club, you'll save a bundle .... that goes for the fish as well.

Dip the fish in a splash of water to make them moist and coat with the flour mixture.

Heat a skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter into the bottom of the pan. Place fish into pan (about 3-4 filets) and cook on high for three minutes (med-high if using electric stove) and remove from pan. Cool down the pan or use a second pan while the other cools off. Heat the cooled pan on high and melt one tablespoon of butter into the bottom (if using a second pan you can heat it up in the last 30 seconds of cooking side one). Cook on high for three minutes and viola! you have a delicious fish dish filled with Omega-3s, good carbs, and yes a bit of butter too. Yummy.
For each side, make sure the pan is cooled before starting the next because that butter is unforgiving and will burn quickly .... I don't know how many times I sent my husband running to fan the smoke detector. lol.

Serve with a side of vegetables and maybe some brown rice. Everyone agrees ... YUMMY. Five Stars
