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…

Yesterday I mentioned that we were going to do a “random” act of kindness day which was inspired by a person wanting to celebrate her 38th birthday a while back (here’s a link to her original article).
