MONDAY

 
Crispy Cod w/ Zucchini & Peppers Orzo
& Grilled Garlic Bread

*2/$25 or 4/$45

"OMG - THE ENTIRE MEAL WAS WONDERFUL!!!!  The fish was perfect (loved the sauce), the orzo was to die for (I could have eaten the entire container) and the garlic bread - what can I say delicious (I'll start grilling mine from now on) Fantastic meal!!!" - Karen


"Just wanted to let you know Monday's dinner was delicious!  Everything was so good, I will definitely be ordering it again. " -Felecia
 
 

I really can't tell you what I like most about this dinner.  It could be the crunchy yet soft grilled garlic bread, the rich orzo with sweet veggies or the meaty panko & herb cod fillet that would make it easy for anyone to give up eating meat. I actually ate all my garlic bread and was half way through the orzo before I realized there was more dinner to enjoy.  You will be pleasantly surprised to know this entire dinner is butter free.  Only olive oil was used.

THURSDAY

Crispy Ginger Fish w/ Rice Noodles

*$2/25 or 4/$45*

"This is mine and Irene's favorite!" - Hilda

  I make this for a lot of our family gatherings (especially the Asian ones).  Yes, it's a whole fish, with bones and all!  If you've never tried eating fish on the bones, you definitely need to start with this.  The fish is rubbed with garlic and ginger and fried til nice and crispy.  To serve, just take a knife and lift at the two cut slits and pull apart from the bones. Place fish on top of rice noodles, salad and drizzle on some fish sauce.  
(If you're absolutely terrified of the fish head, just let me know and I'd be glad to remove it prior to packing!) 

To Reheat:  You can either bake it at 375 til crispy or do a quick broil for a few minutes.
