Sun Oven Sunday – Baked Tilapia
Since we were having fish the other night I figured I should try it in the sun oven just ’cause I can. 🙂 The idea is super simple since it’s already frozen… just douse with Italian dressing and cook at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. I let the sun oven pre-heat a bit (it…

A few days ago I mentioned that my family and I are doing a random act of kindness day today. Normally, this isn’t something I would ever willfully do on my own–this is just one of many reasons why I’m better off married to my wife–and since we’re about to head out on the town…
