Pantry Challenge Day 2

So the second day of pantry challenge has been good.  But I did almost cave and buy a coffee this morning. -meanwhile, I have tons of coffee at home.  Lunch was leftovers from last night and for dinner we used our rice medley- white, brown, black and quinoa, brussels sprouts and a tilapia dish!

The tilapia was adapted from cooking light.  As usual I used what I had on hand and it still turned out delicious.


Sweet and Spicy Tilapia:
Ingredients:   2 tilapia filets
                     1/4 cup of fresh orange juice- I used honey tangerines
                     1 and 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice- i used lemon
                     1 tablespoon of brown sugar
                     1 tablespoon of EVOO
                     1 teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce
                     1/4 teaspoon of salt
                     1/4 teaspoon of pepper
                     1/4 teaspoon of cumin- i used old bay instead :)
                     1/4 teaspoon of ground red pepper
                     2 cloves of garlic- crushed
                     1/4 teaspoon of paparika

Directions:  I took my two tilapia filets out of the freezer and defrosted them all day.  Then I mixed all the ingredients together and let the filets marinate for 40 min.
Preheat the oven to broil.  Put the filets on a pan and put in oven 5-7 minutes.  Then take the leftover sauce and heat it on the stove with a little bit of flour.  Pull out tilapia put on whatever you are serving it with and pour sauce on top.   M hated the brussels sprouts so i got extra!!
