That makes…about 8 sushi locations (there’s probably more) close to my home. Yes, my students are still bringing sushi and seaweed to pass around for snacks and [...]

Sprinkle thawed tilapia filets with paprika, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil to a skillet and then add tilapia. Cook 3-5 min. per side until tilapia is cooked and flaky.
I usually purchase individually-frozen tilapia fillets. I thaw them in water in the sink for about 30 minutes.

Last month, I made chicken noodle soup in a crockpot. I had to cook the chicken in the oven and the onions on the stove, as well as add extra chicken broth to the crockpot. It takes longer than doing everything at once with the oven/stove, but if you’re away for the day, it saves [...]

When I cook steaks (which isn’t often enough), I use a grill pan. I season the meat with McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning and cook the steaks in 1 tbsp of butter. I also add onions to the pan. Yum! I use a meat thermometer to let me know when they’re cooked just right.
