Salmon with lime butter

2 salmon fillets (slightly frozen is okay)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried minced parsley (if you have fresh, chop up 1-2 teaspoons)
2 cloves minced garlic
aluminum foil

Use a 4-6 quart slow cooker. Spread a length of foil onto the countertop, and put the salmon fillets directly in the middle.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in lime juice, pepper, garlic, and parsley. Brush this mixture all over the top of your fish. Fold the foil over and crimp the sides to make a packet.
Put this packet into the bottom of an empty slow cooker. Cover, and set to high for two hours.
Your fish is finished when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve with steamed broccoli and quinoa (or something similar).

Tilapia with garlic cheese sauce

3-4 Tilapia fillets or other white fish (I made 6 fillets)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar, but parmesan would be really good)
the juice of two lemons (I used 5 Tbs. of lemon juice)
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper

I didn’t really measure the mayo or cheese. I knew I needed a bit more since I was making 6 fillets, so I just eye-balled it. Stir the sauce together (all ingredients except the fish). I decided not to thaw out the frozen fillets. It just seemed like an easy step to skip and it worked out fine.

Put the sauce on both sides of the fillet. Then wrap into a foil packet. Place all the packets in the crockpot, stacking them on top of each other. I was surprised that they took up so much space in the crock. I thought I might have room to wrap potatoes and put them on the bottom of the crock to cook at the same time, but there wouldn’t have been room. Maybe if you’re making less fish. If you try that trick, let me know if it works!

Cook on low for 3-4 hours. I started mine on high for about 30 minutes since I started with frozen fish, but I don’t know that I needed to do that. The fish should flake easily with a fork when its done.

Sushi Date Night

Hubby and I are enjoying a yummy Sushi  Night! We never get a date night so we make a nice date atmosphere in our home. We have been together for 10 years so we have to reinvent date in our home since we are parents and don't have the luxury of an on call babysitter. Our parents live about 2 hours away on both sides so when we travel home we get the luxry of your sets of grandparents eager to get time with their baby grand boy :) he just turned 6 but will always be there baby mine too (shhh don't tell hubby that lol) . Date night consists of our favorite movie and things to eat, and time to catch up with each other. Snuggle time is always fun too if I can stay awake!  We both Adore sushi  so we got a variety tonight. We enjoyed it with spicy sauce, soy sauce, and Wasabai.  It was delicious but my favorite part is spending one and one time with my husband. It's nice not to talk about who is going to cook tonight or who is going to do the dishes :) so my advice to other couples is schedule some time with ur love one it's very important and it's a great treat for your both!
