Rosemary Fingerlings, Pan-Fried Tilapia with Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes, and Sauteed Snap Peas with Goat Cheese

Well, it turns out I didn't forget *all* the pictures recently! And this one makes me hungry as soon as I look at it. Of course, tomatoes are one of my favorites, but who doesn't want to dig in when they see this pile of freshly sauteed tomatoes and basil? In fact, I think you'll find that all of the recipes below are healthy, delicious winners that will leave you eagerly wanting more.

I whipped up some pan-fried tilapia to go with this luscious topping of tomatoes and basil and then added some sugar snap peas with goat cheese and the always delectable fingerling potatoes - this time with some rosemary. In fact, it was dried and kept from my summer garden, making it taste extra special as does anything grown on your own. Each piece of this meal can be made separately or make them all for a dinner to impress.

Cod over Veggie Ragout

It's been a while! Turns out, heading up to another city and commuting long distance while attending grad school leaves little time for cooking and even less time for blogging. However, while the grad school continues the long distance is temporarily gone so hopefully there will be some more healthy, delicious posts coming your way. This meal definitely fits the bill though it appears I'm a little out of practice and forgot to take pictures... of this as well as a few others coming up. Please excuse this lapse in memory!

I'm not usually a big fan of cod but when I ended up with some fresh fillets I decided to dress up this simple fish with a warming veggie ragout that hits the spot when it's cold outside. And, when we sat down to eat, my husband and I ended up devouring this as fast as possible. So make it right away and let us know in the comments if you find other delicious vegetable combinations.

I served this over cous cous, but you can easily substitute your favorite grain. Try some quick-cooking brown rice or perhaps some quinoa.
