Pre Valentine's Day Dinner (Recipe)

Hello World, Monday, and Valentine's Day!

Standard Downtown
Valentine's isn't my favorite holiday but its infectious. I'm sure even the V day haters out there are feeling the buzz of excitement in the air....or maybe its the anticipation of the sugar rush we'll all be feeling later.

The hubs and I celebrated our love by hanging out at home yesterday afternoon and cooking a delicious dinner. We're on a tilapia kick lately and tried out a new recipe last night. We had tilapia over organic jasmine rice from TJs and also enjoyed it with another WW recipe - asparagus with balsamic butter. For dessert we had angel food cake with berries and cool whip along with a couple glasses of pinot grigio while we watched Inception.

If you haven't checked out skinnytaste.com yet you should today!
Gina has done a fantastic job of modifying recipes to be WW friendly.

Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce *We couldn't locate the red curry paste at the regular grocery store so we cheated a bit and used a red curry sauce, it turned out just fine though. Additionally, we skipped the fish sauce.
