Not quite as cold out this morning but still breezy. For Breakfast I had a bowl of Cheerios along with a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After I had Breakfast, Mom and Dad wanted McDonald's so I went and picked up Breakfast for them. On the way back I noticed gas was at $1.80 a gallon, getting better! Not much going on today, the repairman showed up and he replaced a Kitchen drawer for us. After that just did some odds and ends jobs around the house. For dinner tonight I prepared a Baked Cod with Tomato Pesto and Baked Potato.
To prepare the Pesto; preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Toss the halved Tomatoes lightly with Olive Oil, and arrange on a rimmed foil lined baking sheet, and season with Salt. Roast the Tomatoes for about 2 hours, until shriveled. Let cool. Keep the oven and increase the heat to 400 degrees, for baking the Cod. Place the Tomatoes, Basil, Pine Nuts, and Garlic in a food processor; pulse to chop. Add 1/4 cup Olive Oil; pulse to combine well. Season with Salt and Pepper.
To prepare the Cod I’ll need; 2 Cod Pieces, Light Virgin Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper (to taste). Use a rimmed foil lined baking sheet. Brush the Cod Fillets with the Olive Oil, season well with salt and Pepper (to taste) and place the sheet in the oven. Bake until the Cod flakes with a fork, about 11 minutes. To serve spoon the Pesto over each Fillet. The Pesto Sauce works perfect with Fish, the Tomatoes and Pine Nuts work great together.
For a side I prepared a Baked Potato. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For dessert later a Weight Watcher’s Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.
