https://www.aspicyperspective.com/low-carb-white-fish-pomodoro/

Ingredients

3-4 skinless white fish fillets (grouper, cod, monkfish, halibut)

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped

28 ounces crushed tomatoes (1 can)

1/2 cup roughly chopped basil

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Salt and pepper the fish fillets on both sides. Once the oil is hot, sear the fish fillets until cooked through. For thin fillets like grouper, cook 2 minutes per side. For thicker fillets like cod, cook 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Add the garlic and shallots to the skillet. Saute for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add in the crushed tomatoes and honey. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste, and salt and pepper as needed.

Stir in the fresh basil and add the fish fillets back to the skillet. Simmer another 1-2 minutes to reheat the fish. Serve warm as-is or with a side of raw zucchini noodles.

Diet Cola Brownies

You can find recipes for these all over the Internet. I tried them and loved them. I didn’t tell my son they were made with Diet Coke and Low-Fat Brownie mix, and he loved them too!

Ingredients

12 oz can Diet Cola

1 box of brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker Low-Fat Fudge Brownie Mix.)

Instructions

Empty brownie mix into large bowl. Add 12 oz. diet cola. Using a handheld mixer or whisk, combine until batter is free of lumps.

Pour mixture into a 9 x 9 pan treated with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake according to brownie mix instructions, adding an additional 5 to 10 minutes baking time.
