Directions
Guess what y’allllllll?! We’re back in our house! Our bathroom still isn’t *quite* finished, but after seven weeks it’s good (and a little weird!) to be home.
Yes, the renovation of our small bathroom took seven weeks and still isn’t done. I don’t want to talk about it. But maybe I’ll share some before and after pictures in case you can’t make it to the “come use my bathroom” party I’m planning to throw.
“How the heck did you manage to be out of your house for seven weeks?!” you might be asking. Well, we’re very fortunate to have my mom and Matt right here in D.C. and willing to take two messy humans and their two big-headed, furry children in.
And actually, after I figured out the commute and found my fitness routine, it was kind of nice. We enjoyed lots of quality time together, including many a dinners. This meant that we rarely had leftovers and a few ingredients were off the table (all meat besides fish, shrimp, anything spicy, dairy). But shockingly, my first meal at home isn’t a big old steak with chimichurri sauce. What I decided to make was this roast fish with a dairy-free creamy tomato sauce that I made one night for the family and enjoyed so much I wanted to make it again.
This can be made with essentially any white, flakey fish and you’re welcome to use heavy cream should you prefer it over coconut milk. I recommend it served over cauliflower rice, but however you decide to serve it with I promise you’ll enjoy it!

Heat olive oil in a wide, shallow skillet on medium-high heat. Place fish fillets in the oil and sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper and dill. Cook for about 4 minutes, flip, and add the rest of the salt, pepper and dill. Cook for another 4 minutes or until fillets are cooked through. Set aside on a plate. |
