When I got home, I prepped a part of dinner. I saw this recipe for Fiesta Broccoli Dip on KERF and knew I wanted to try something similar! I love guacamole but Josh is not an avocado fan, so I made two versions
Josh’s Mix
Blend:
1 cup steamed broccoli
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ tablespoon hot sauce
A few snippets of fresh cilantro
Mix in (once blended):
½ cup corn
1 tablespoons pinto beans
My MixBlend:
1/8 of a slimcado
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ tablespoon hot sauce
1 cup steamed broccoli
1 tablespoon salsa
A few snippets of fresh cilantro
Mix in (once blended):
2 tablespoons on pinto beans
Once the broccoli dips were prepped, I headed out to take Body Combat. According to the Les Mills website, Body Combat is a “fiercely energetic program is inspired by martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as Karate, boxing, Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Muay Thai.” I wasn’t really in the mood for a workout (since I had already hit up pump in the am), but we were having a demo of Body Combat at our gym (we currently do not have any Combat classes) and my new friend Gina was doing the demo so I had to show my support!! The class was awesome and I was totally exhausted and ready for din din when I got home.I ate my broccoli mix with tons of veggies and a few tortilla chips(not shown). I also ate a ginormous bowl of fruit and a little tortilla crusted tilapia (see recipe below).
Josh had his mix with tortilla chips, a side of banana (that’s for you Ricky ;)), and tortilla crusted Tilapia. For the tilapia, I followed Lauren’s recipe from the awesome blog Say What You Need To Say.
Tortilla Chip Crusted TilapiaIngredients:
Tilapia fillets
Egg whites (2 egg whites or 1/3 cup egg whites in a box)
1 tsp chili powder
Salt & pepper
½ tsp cumin
Tortilla chips crumbled (colorful chips would look much prettier but I only had plain)
Directions:
Mix egg whites, chili powder, desired quantities of salt & pepper & cumin. Dunk tilapia fillets in egg whites and the coat with tortilla chips. Bake the fish in a 400* oven for 15 min.
Phew! I feel just about ready for bed ;)

Your dinners always look so freaking delish! I need to start putting some more effort into the dinners around here. I hope you have a great night with the hus and Frankster--it's almost the weekend!!
Tortilla encrusted tilapia?? What a genius concept:) Your dip looks particularly enticing, perfect for a hot summer night! That's so cute that Josh eats his dinner with a side of banana, I do the same thing but only when I eat sushi. For some reason I love the combination of sushi and banana, quite bizarre!
P.S- thanks for the heads up about rutabega, I will definitely check Whole Foods!
Busy day...glad you had a good dinner to go with it!
yummy! great dinner!
Love those dips! I'll have to give it a try.
Can't stand tilapia- it has a weird aftertaste for me - have you tried (heard of) barramundi? It's an Australian white fish that is so good - not fishy at all!
mmm your dinner lookds delish. i think i need to try that dip! :)
I was lazy and took the day off from working out. I only walked! Interesting dip, my Josh doesn't like broccoli, but he likes all other veggies so I shouldn't complain!
Erik doesn't much care for avocado either. Those tilapia look very good! Lauren always has great looking fish recipes, I've been meaning to try one myself.
Whew! I'm tired just reading about your day, girl! That class sounds like so much fun. I'm just WAITing for my gym to get Body Pump/Step still! And that tilapia looks AMAZING.
Your tilapia sounds so good!!! So tell me - where do you get slimcados? And how do they make them "slim"?
Cool dip- I thought it was guac at first glance, you had me fooled. I like the tortilla on fish idea too! You're so creative with your dinners.
I am bookmarking this for the tilapia - freaking DEEELISH!
that looks really good- kinda reminds me of guac.... this may be a stupid question but is a slimcado just an avocado? hahaa
Just went to my first Les Mills body combat class and looooved it! That broccoli dip looks delicious. Love your blog :)
That dip sounds to die for!
Must try broccoli dip! (for obvious reasons!)
Mmm I just found your blog and am already loving all your delicious eats!! Tortilla encrusted tilapia + broc dip = sign me up!! Looks amaazing!
It sure looks like guacamole to me! The place that I worked this summer used peas in their guacamole...you should try it out!
This is very interesting. I could do this, but hopefully BEFORE I eat up all the tortillas straight out the bag!
Hot damn! I was just looking for another fish recipe, too! Awesome!
AWww! I am so touched that you tried one of my recipes!!!! :) That just makes my heart so happy. Hope Josh enjoyed it! :)
Oh, btw...what is a slimcado? I've never heard of such a thing.
Hope you had a wonderful day beautiful girl!
I had tilapia last night too!! Yay for fish :-) What kind is your fav?
Btw--love that serving dish!
The broccoli dip sounds so interesting! I like it AND I have some brocc just hanging around so I may have to try it :)
I love the side of bananas! Hope you have a great Thursday!!
Phew I'm tired just from reading about your busy day.
I forget how good chip encrusted fish is. The hubs and I used crushed BBQ chips before on Mahi and it was insanely good!
I like how you added broc to your guac! I have the ingreients for that so I may just have to make it tonight!
Yum! I love this idea!
This looks great.
I love that plate!
wow this looks so good! I love the idea of tortilla encrusted tilapia - so clever!
Ohh that broc dip sounds SO good :) good thing I have some broccoli hangin around!
Guac is all over the blogs lately and it's all looking so good! I'm going to have to whip some up soon! Josh's version looks SO yummy! And that tilapia looks so good. What a healthy mexican-themed meal! :)
Your food always looks so good. Yet again something to add to the list to make for the hubby!
Ok, what's a slimcado? Is that just your work for it, or is it something else?
And what kind of gadget makes those awesome-looking rippled carrots?
That broccoli dip sounds amaaaaazing!! Love me some broc.
Both dinners look so good!
Love the idea of the veggie chips with your dip! Everything looks delish. :)
So creative that you came up with a guac minus the avocado! I mean, I'm not one to ditch the avocado myself, but hey it sounds like an awesome spread! Two thumbs up to you. :)
Fabulous! I love that you made two different versions of the dip. Both look amazing.
I love crusted tilapia! I've tried a bit of everything - parmesan, almond...but never tortilla! Must try...now!! :o)
I love broccoli. This dip sounds great.
Tilapia is my fave type of fish because for some reason, it doesn't taste all that 'fishy'. (if ya know what i mean...)
Ooooh that looks like such a yummy dinner!! I love the fiesta dip idea, how was it? :-)
That broccoli dip sounds so good! I'm going to try to make it sometime with soy yogurt :)
Yummy!! Everything looks so good. I think it's so cute how you and Josh eat the same thing... but don't. It's like two little unique variations always!!
Love the broccoli dip idea! I once made a dip out of baby lima beans and avocados, after finding something like it in a Cooks Illustrated magazine. I'm going to have to give this a try too! :-)
You're so glorious and creative woman in the kitch. :)
I saw yourbroc dip on two blogs already!
Yum avocado is the best :)
