I love to cook, I don't like to clean. I love to eat, a lot. I eat all sorts of things. Unfortunately, my family does not. TD, my husband, likes his meat and potatoes. The only vegetables he will eat are corn, potatoes and lettuce. He hates onions with a vengeance. Buttercup is awesome, she is willing to try anything once. Fiona, has spent the last two years on chemotherapy which I think altered her taste buds, hopefully not permanently. I am trying to wean her off the love of salt. She is even more picky than TD. She will eat something this week and tell me how much she hates it next week. My sister, Moe, also lives with us. She is a big fan of my cooking, which helps a lot. I figure there shouldn't be a family out there more picky than mine, so you can come here and find things already vetted for your family. I will start with a fabulous fish dish. This is the second time I made it, apparently no one noticed it the first time I made it.
This time, Fiona ate it before everyone else was served, she doesn't even like fish. Here's Buttercup's plate:

She will eat a salad and actually enjoy it. I cooked the rice normally, but this time I cooked it with chicken broth and it tasted so much better than normal. The fish is a
tilapia dish and I got the recipe off
allrecipes.com, which I use a lot.
Broiled
Tilapia Parmesan:
1/2cup
parmesan cheese ( I used grated from the can)
1/4cup butter, softened
3T Mayo ( I use our normal lite mayo)
2T lemon juice
1/4tsp dried basil
1/4tsp ground pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celery salt
2lb
tilapia filetsPreheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.
I followed the recipe to the letter, including the times on the broiling.

I might argue that my family, with the exception of Ducky, is more picky.
It is hard to be the main chef in the house, when you don't care about food. So I'll be checking in for ideas that might inspire me. :)
Yeah! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
