foodtvandme.com is the unofficial food network fansite with news, reviews, and my attempts at those great recipes you see on tv.

I’ve been eating healthy now for a couple of weeks and it’s easier that I thought it would be.  OK I fell off the wagon and ate pizza on Sunday, but I’m blaming that on my brother.  He insisted.  The way I see it, though, if I keep eating meals like the one I’m talking about today, I can afford to have a slice of yummy pepperoni every once in a while.

Weekly Recipe Attempt: Broiled Tilapia with Horseradish and Herb-Spiked Mayo

Now I’m not really a big fish eater, but I want to be.  It’s so healthy and easy to broil fish, and this recipe was no exception. 

I know what you’re saying, “it has mayo on it!  How is that healthy?”  I’m defending the mayo by stating that I used fat-free mayo.  I also only used a dollop of it on the fish, so one dollop isn’t going to kill me.

This recipe was great.  I still love all things chicken and the occasional slab of beef, but the fish was a lovely little change of pace.  And if you’re afraid of fish, try tilapia.  It didn’t smell fishy at all.  I know they tell you it should smell like the ocean, but this didn’t really smell like anything.  It tasted fresh and lovely.

I give this recipe an 8.  And that’s no fish tale, my friends.  OK that was a really bad joke.  I apologize.
