Using the Every Day Food recipe for Flounder With Onion-Tomato Ragout as my template, I made lovely and flavourful white fish dish.

I swapped out the vinegar for freshly squeezed lemon juice all over the fish while it was cooking in the pan, and a bit more on top of it all after it was plated to ensure maximum brightness.

This is a keeper. Simple, fast and tasty. You can’t ask for more on a busy weeknight when you’re pressed for time and your belly is rumbling. 🙂

Final thought: chunk this up as is and throw it into warmed up tortillas for instant fish tacos.

Ricotta-Spinach Stuffed Chicken, from the Every Day Food recipe collection, served with roasted carrots, onions and baby potatoes, and with a side Caesar topped with fresh dressing and shaved Parmesan cheese.

Made my first pie ever (that I can recall – I’ve been baking since I was a wee girl) for my mother-in-law as a Mothers Day gift yesterday. She really liked it, and she’s been a baker for close to 70 years. Her only comment is that she prefers her pies to have slices not chunks of apple in it. If that’s the worst she can say to someone who doesn’t like to bake pies, then I’m happy.

Last night’s linner (lunch-dinner), Veggy Calzones: tomato sauce (from a jar), shredded mozzarella, diced green peppers, yellow onions and broccoli, on top of store bought pizza dough. Baked for 12 minutes at 475 degrees.

Made in our squishy, cheesey sammie thingie maker, aka the panini press. It rocks! This is our first effort, a ‘po man’s Reuben: leftover pork roast, spinach, cheddar (like) cheese, and zesty sammie spread. Brilliant.
