Baked Orange Roughy with Salsa


Of all the fish I have made so far, this was my least favorite by far.  I don't know if that was just because I had been telling myself how good this sounded all day or what the deal was.  I do think I should have waited and put the salsa on after cooking the fish instead of cooking the fish with the salsa on it as I don't really like warm tomatoes all that much.  I didn't follow any recipe, I just took the orange rough and added some cayenne pepper and salsa and broiled it in the oven until the fish was flaking.  It was good, but not great.

Banana-Oatmeal Bread


I was given a bunch of bananas recently that were getting to be very squishy so I decided I would finally go about making that banana bread that I have been saying I want to make.  The first thing I decided to do was get on the weight watchers website and see if there was any recipes that sounded good at fairly low points.  While I don't think 4 points for a serving of this is exactly low points, it does stay with you for awhile.  I've been eating one of the muffins for breakfast, so yummy!  I brought a loaf to work, gave a loaf to my parents and have kept the muffins for us.  Three batchs, didn't take long to mix up and it was super easy!  They are very yummy and I plan on making them again sometime!
