Baked Flounder with Parsley and Thyme {Recipe}

Last week I made a special point to plan my menu, and even though it didn't go exactly as planned; it was nice to know that dinner was not on my list of things to worry about for the week. There were a few nights that didn't work out, so I've bumped some things to a later time. Soccer practice and ballet are throwing off my evenings and I've got to figure out how those puzzle pieces come together. That being said, I've got a menu planed for this week, and I'd like to share one of our favorites from last week with you as well.

Monday--Apple-Pork meatloaves with potatoes. This didn't get done last week because of evening practices, so I'm doing it this week.

Tuesday--Chicken Tenders with mac and cheese. The boneless, skinless chicken tenders were on sale this weekend and I got a huge package. It's a meal the kids love, so I know they'll eat it. I'm making a double batch, so I can freeze some for pater, or just have leftovers for later in the week.

Wednesday--Ham slice and biscuits. This is not a fancy meal, no recipe involved, but last week Ken mentioned missing ham, so I bought him some.  He did make me those brownies, so if he can take a hint, so can I!

Thursday--Chicken tenders again, this time with the opposite kids!

Friday--Pizza bubbles--I shared this recipe on my friend Lydia's page. Every time I want to make them again, I search my own blog and I can never find them!! LOL!

Saturday/Sunday--Leftovers, or whatever else I feel like cooking. 

Last week, one of the recipes that was a big hit was our plan for baked tilapia with parsley and thyme. I ended up not buying tilapia because all I could find was farm-raised and I prefer my fish to be wild caught. The flounder was wild caught, so I went with that instead. The recipe was super simple, and super delicious.  I ended up baking it in two different casserole dishes to give it some space. I only took one dish out to the table and Ken grabbed the last piece when Henry wasn't looking. I wish you could have seen his face a few minutes later!

Henry: Mommy, can I have more...Where's the fish!?!?
Ken: <snicker>
Henry: <heartbroken>
Me: Mommy to the rescue!! <Gets other dish>
Henry: <grins> Yeah!!
