Healthy Fish and Chips is possible! Tasty even!

Weight Watchers International, Inc.Image via Wikipedia
Since I have been on Weight Watchers for the last six months, I have been looking for healthier versions of favorite foods. I recently tried an Oven Fish 'n' Chips recipe from the Taste of Home Guilt Free Cooking. It is a "breaded" fish with fries for only 5 Weight Watcher points per serving. My husband is not a big fan of seafood unless it has been breaded and fried. He tried this recipe and decided that it was really good and that I could make it again anytime. Success!!!

Oven Fish 'n' Chips

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium baking potatoes (1 pound), peeled

Fish:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons water
2/3 cup crushed cornflakes
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound frozen haddock filets, thawed
Tartar sauce, optional

In a large bowl, combine oil and pepper.  Cut potatoes, lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips.  Add to oil mixture; toss to coat.  Place on a 15x10x1 baking pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake, uncovered, at 425 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.  Meanwhile, combine flour and pepper in a shallow dish.  In a second dish, beat egg substitute and water.  In a third dish, combine cornflakes, cheese, and cayenne.  Dredge fish in flour, then dip in egg mixture and roll in crumb mixture.  Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Serve with chips and tartar sauce if desired.

"Normal"

Well,  I went back to work today and Jaelyn went back to school.  Life goes on as "normal."  I had a pretty good day at work and Jaelyn had a good first day of school.  So why am I angry?  How can life go on as normal with one of the most important people in my life gone?  I don't want normal again -- life isn't normal when your spouse dies at such a young age with no warning.  My mind and my heart want to fight against normal.  Normal makes it feel like it wasn't a big deal that Scott died and that he didn't matter, and it was and is a big deal and he did matter.  Yet life must go on.  It doesn't seem right.  I want life to just pause for a moment to acknowledge the significance of Scott's life gone, yet life goes on.  It is hard to move on, plan for the future that he was always to be a part of and now is not. I know I'm not the first person to experience grief and loss and will not be the last person.  I know that Scott is not the first signif

New Hobby -- Clay jewelry and crafts with Sculpey Clay

Image
One of my friends got me started making jewelry about 2 years ago.  I tried selling necklaces and earrings at one point early on but discovered that making money by making jewelry is not the easiest thing in the world especially since it seems like eveyone is into making jewelry.  I still enjoy making jewelry, but I am getting overloaded with necklaces.  I mean really, a person can only wear so many necklaces.  So just recently I decided to expand my jewelry making into actually making the beads and pendants themselves.  On a recent trip to Michael's, our local craft store, I discovered Sculpey clay that can be baked in a regular oven.  I bought a DVD put out by Sculpey on different processes and steps to making certain types of items, jewelry, luggage tags, picture frames, etc.  It teaches the basic techniques to obtaining certain basic looks that can be expanded on to make more elaborate pieces.  I have been experimenting with it the last couple of days and am really enjoy

Nine years

Image
August 10, 2012  — A date that will forever be etched in my memory.  A date that was the most live altering day of my life so far.  In the past nine years, we have learned to live without Scott’s physical presence in our lives, although it has been one of the hardest things I have ever done.  Something that if someone had told me beforehand was going to happen, I would have said I/we could not handle.  I have heard that God doesn’t send you anything that you can’t handle.  I would disagree with that — God doesn’t send anything that HE can’t handle.  It is only by the grace and strength of God that we have not only made it through the past nine years, but, dare I say, thrived.  That is not to deny the rough patches and how hard it truly was, but when I look at Jaelyn all I can do is thank God that He brought us BOTH through so far with grace and strength.  This past year I think has been one of the hardest of the nine and I know there will be more rough ones to come.  This past year has
