First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA (that's her above)! Today my lovely little sis, my best friend, my current roommate, turns 22! This is the first year in at least six that we're actually together on her birthday and I cannot wait to spend the day with her. We have grand plans including a trip to the movies, drinks and appetizers out, a mario kart tournament with friends, and a delicious birthday dessert. Details on that delicious dessert coming soon... ;)

love her!!

And now back to the food...
Bran-Breaded Tilapia
Ingredients:
-tilapia filets (we made 3)
-1 1/2-2 cups crushed bran flakes
-1 egg, beaten
-lemon juice, salt, & pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Crack egg into a bowl and beat well. Dip each tilapia filet into the egg, making sure to cover both sides.
2. In a separate bowl, place the crushed bran flakes. After dipping the tilapia in the egg, dip into the bran flakes until the fish is completely coated (you may need to press extra bran flakes into the fish).
3. Place fish onto a prepared baking sheet. Season with fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes.
