What's For Dinner?

I could not wait to post these two recipes!  All throughout November, I have been trying out different/healthy recipes to see what we like and don't like.   I've had about 85% success.  A few tweeks to the recipes here and there and we've got a nice stash of new recipes!
Here is what we had for dinner last nice and it was delicious!  I am a big fan of coconut and broccoli, but B not so much.  We were surprised how much he liked both of these recipes!  We haven't done much with fish before, besides salmon and tuna, but it's nice to branch out.  **We didn't have Tilapia, but had Flounder, so that is what we used.  Enjoy!!

Coconut Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients: 6 Pieces of Tilapia, thawed
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Ritz Crackers, crushed
1/3 cup egg whites
olive oil spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place foil on a cookie sheet and spray with non stick spray.
Combine coconut flakes, Italian crumbs, and crackers in a bowl. Put egg whites in another bowl.
Dip the Tilapia in the egg, then in the coconut crumb mixture. Then place them on a cookie sheet lined with foil.  Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until Tilapia is done. (Check Tilapia at about 15 minutes and watch it so it won't burn)


Roasted Parmesan Broccoli

Ingredients:
2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/3 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Dump the broccoli into a large bowl and drizzle oil on top. Toss broccoli to coat with oil. Sprinkle garlic salt on top and mix to incorporate.
Spread broccoli on a large baking sheet covered with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes, until it starts to turn golden brown (you want it to caramelize, but not burn!).
Dump the broccoli back in a bowl as soon as you pull it out of the oven and mix with cheese. Serve immediately.
Serves 2-4.
