Bought bamboo steamers a few months ago, and never got brave enough to try
them...

Today, didn't know what to do with cod filet.. was putting the wok away and
came accross my steamers... Hum... what if I got brave?

Lightly salted the filet on each side, and sprayed (lightly) each side with
garlic olive oil (dipping oil bought... somewhere) I put the filet each in a
pasta bowl (that fits in my steamers).

I thinly sliced red onion, red bell pepper, zucchini and asparagus. I placed
the veggies kind of around the fish (doesn't matter if it goes over a
little).

I sprayed the whole thing with a little more garlic oil, and salted and
peppers over that. Then I poured a TBSP of teriaki sauce (the clear kind,
not the thick stuff) over the fish and sprinkled with thinly sliced green
onion.

I put each bowl in a steamer, stacked the two steamers and put the lid on
top. Put about 2 inches of water in the wok and put the steamers in. Steamed
on high head for about 17 minutes.

It was to die for! I'm soooooooo happy! very healthy, minimum mess, tasty!
I'm gonna use those steamers often (even more since they are fairly cheap in
the city)

HA!

the one kind of cooking I don't mind is steaming. I have electric, also
minimum mess with the added benefit that if you fall asleep they shut off,
keep the food warm for a while and don't burn.

When we make fish we slice an onion very thin, then layer, onion, minced
garlic, then fish, then season then garlic then a top layer of onion,
sometimes mushrooms, can't say enough good about it, Lee

That's good too.. but there's something to be said to serving a fuffy
looking fish dish in bamboo steamers... just feels like we're eating in a
fuffy asian restaurant without paying for it..

I have learned with WW to eat with all my senses. I want it to taste good of
course, but also to look good, to smell good.

I try very hard to make every meal an adventure. We feel most of the time
like we're eating out at home. I have "different dishes" like my rectangular
plates that are much like sushi presentation plates, and my little bowls
with a lid that I use for stews.

I also go out of my way to cook exotic foods, or foods we're not used to.
It's a lot of research, and a lot of prep work.. but I think the end result
is worth it. Eating at home is never boring in here!!

I think one of the reasons I have done as well as I have is because DH is
such an excellent cook, he cooks simply but it always tastes good, and when
I come up with something new to try or if I revamp an old favorite for
lighter points he always gives the best effort. Our latest revamp was Ruben
sandwiches... mmmmm, Lee

It's more work, but sooooo worth it!!!

We have this running gag between DH and me "Man, being on this program is SO
HARSH!" which we say when we're have a particularly yummy "on plan" meal...

I have to say, that's about 6 night out a week.. )

*grin* we could have an indian feast!

Thank you, I'm a very "all or nothing" kind of person...

When I joined WW in 2002, I could not cook eggs... then I decided to learn,
I've been experimenting, researching, taking classes ever since!

we had Rueben's again tonight for late dinner... even using regular rye
bread six points, would have been 4.5 but there wasn't any light rye when we
were at the store, it is just oh so harsh to eat rumens and steamed
broccoli, Lee
