I haven’t posted in a while. We’ve been busy with birthdays, Mother’s Day, wedding planning, and I’ve been battling allergies. I love the Spring weather but I don’t love the pollen that comes with it.

Here are some recent weeknight recipes:

Skillet Fillets with Cilantro Butter
We buy the big bag of frozen tilapia fillets from Costco and they are perfect for this recipe. I forgot to take a picture, but the cilantro butter comes out looking a lot like pesto with a similar texture.

Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce
I didn’t take a picture of this one either but we both liked it. If you like sun-dried tomatoes, you’ll like it. When the sauce cooks down, it leaves some crunchy bits on the bottom of pan that add to the flavor.

Pitas with Hummus Bi Tahina and Kisir and Balsamic Roasted Asparagus on the Side (Vegan)
Kisir is a lot like tabbouleh. If you’ve never had tabbouleh, you’ve probably seen it in pre-made packages at Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Giant, or Bloom. The weather was pretty hot, so I opted for a cold dinner. I made the Kisir the night before and the day-of I made the hummus and asaparagus. I opened up each pita, slathered it with hummus, and filled it with Kisir. It was refreshing and surprisingly filling.

Skinny Figgy Bars (Vegan)
I made some these for Lauren’s Bridal Shower on Cinco de Mayo (5/5/07). The bars are vegan and I thought she might want a sweet but low-fat treat at her shower. Little did I know, Lauren had made some super delicious vegan chocolate chip coconut cookies that Kelly and I couldn’t get enough of…Lauren if you’re reading this, I need to get that cookie recipe.
