Doll Bedding

I have been diligently working on doll bedding for my smallest cousin.  Her American Girl Doll is getting an upgrade.  This luxury bedding assortment includes a pink fitted and flat sheet, blue security blanket with white satin band, white summer comforter with aqua band, and quilt of many colors.  The pillows come in foam (Mr. Clean eraser), memory beads, and poly-fill.

Mango Salsa

1 ripe mango
1/2 red bell pepper
1 shallot
4 Tbs. fresh chopped cilantro
juice and zest of 1 lime
sea salt

Finely dice mango, pepper and shallot. Combine all ingredients and season with sea salt to your taste. Allow flavors to meld together for at least 30 minutes. This can be made in advance as the longer it sits, the better it gets, up to 3 days.

Coconut Crusted Tilapia

4 tilapia fillets	pinch of cumin	pinch coriander
sprinkle of sea salt	1/4 c flour	1 egg
splash of milk	1 C panko bread crumbs	1 c coconut flakes
2-3 T coconut oil	lime

Season fish with a light dusting of spices and a generous sprinkle of sea salt. Prepare a breading station for fish by lining up 3 bowls. In the first, put the flour. In the second, whisk together the egg and milk. In the third, mix the coconut and panko crumbs. Dip each fillet into the three bowls in this order: flour, egg bath, coconut and panko crumbs. Coat well. Heat oil in frying pan over a medium high flame. When hot add the fish. Turn fish when the flakes start to brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat on the second side. Carefully poke fish with a knife to make sure the center is cooked. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately with lime wedges and Mango Salsa.
