Help comes in all different forms. This group of students held a baked sale out theirs school. I have to say, nothing goes faster than baked good in a cafeteria full of hungry teenagers. A brilliant idea. Looking at the cupcakes and cakes they were selling I have to say I was more than a little impressed with the work these students did. Handmade buttercream icing, gum paste  flowers. This food looked almost too good to eat! Beautifully done for a beautiful cause. Doing something as fun as this and you almost forget you’re doing it for charity.

Check out the cake they made!

If you want to create your own bake sale here’s some things you can try:

Snicker Doodles

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Homemade Cupcakes from scratch

Or you can even try a fondant cake! What a fun way to attract customers!

There’s so much you can do to help out those in need for any charity organization and have fun doing it! The rewards are great for you and the charity. What’s not to love?

I know nothing about making fish, buying fish, eating fish, nothing. However, I love trying new things and I’m not one to let a little thing like inexperience get in the way. I can handle it. So I found this Tilapia recipe because we have Tilapia on sale this week for $3.99 lb.

Ingredients

• 1 cup shelled pistachios
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 tilapia fillets
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons honey mustard
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 ounces prosciutto, diced
• 4 tablespoons pine nuts
• 6 cups fresh chard leaves
• 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese

Directions

In a food processor, combine pistachios, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Process until finely chopped and transfer to a shallow dish. Season both sides of tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Brush honey mustard over both sides of tilapia and then transfer to pistachio mixture. Press mixture into both sides of fish.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until fork-tender.

Heat remaining oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add prosciutto and cook 2 minutes, until golden brown. Add pine nuts and cook 1 minute, until nuts are golden brown. Add chard leaves, cover and steam 2 minutes, until leaves soften. Arrange chard mixture on a serving platter and top with Gorgonzola and serve with tilapia.

My aunt always makes great quiche it’s always moist and delicious. Mmm. Every time I see a picture my mouth starts to water in a Pavlov’s dog fashion. What can I say? I’m a food lover and this particular dish sends me back to summertime block parties as a kid. My family has a few signature dishes and each of us bring to the table. This is hers. I’m not really sure how this one will compare but I think we’ll be alright. You can’t go wrong with quiche right? Try it! Here.
