Tilapia Piccata Recipe

April 11, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Preparing this tilapia piccata recipe is pretty easy – for lovers of the piccata you can easily modify this for chicken. Get one saute pan ready with olive oil, cooking wine, lemon juice, capers, spices and lots of baby spinach (which you will add last because it magically shrinks to about 1/10 of the original heap of spinach you start with). Now take 4 six ounce tilapia fillets and dip them in a bath of flour then toss them into your heated saute pan that contains everything but the spinach. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side then add the spinach. Serve over whole wheat pasta or brown rice.

Smoothie Time of Year – Try This Mango Smoothie Recipe

April 6, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

How do you like your smoothie’s creamy or fruity? Get some mango – fresh or frozen. The good thing about using frozen fruit is that you don’t have to use ice cubes to make it a smoothie which dilutes the fruity goodness. If you like it creamy then add some milk product either soy, almond or low fat cow milk. You can add some yogurt if that floats your boat and some honey to sweeten it if you really have to. Some people throw in some protein powder or whey to give it a little power. Dr Fitness like to throw in a handful of berries to make it a little more colorful. So celebrate the start of smoothie season with a nice cold frozen treat like this one. The key to a good smoothie is your blender – the Fat Guy bought a VitaMix at Costco and it works like a charm.

April 4, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Cavities can be contagious. The bacteria that clings to your teeth that causes cavities can be passed from person to person. And the most common way this happens is not they way you think – get your minds out of the gutter. It happens when a parent shares food with their kid. So in order to promote good dental care – do not take a bite of food then give the rest to your child.
