Yes, it's another Monday and back to work many of us go. Time to start another work week and a quick work night dinner is in order so I'm making a slender seafood stew.
Mondays are tough days for me. Most often I don't feel like I accomplished enough on the weekend to start the next work week, so it helps to have a quick meal I can put on the table. That way I can finish up what I should have crossed off my to-do list over the weekend.
I love this tilapia fish stew recipe. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. I just take out frozen tilapia filets in the morning, and by the evening they've thawed. All I have to do is add a few cans of diced tomatoes, jarred salsa, some fresh lime and cilantro. Don't forget a few slices of heart-healthy avocado and some sour cream. Now you have a meal.
Okay, I'm ready for the rest of the week, and I hope you enjoy yours! Happy cooking!
