So if you follow me on instagram… {which p.s. if you don’t you total should because I give sneak peaks of recipes and lots of adorable pictures of my little man} then you would know that I was super pumped about this month’s edition of All You Magazine. Why? Because first off, it is spring so I knew there was going to be lots of adorable pictures of all things SPRING related… and it always has some awesome healthy AND budget conscious recipes.

Anywho, while my mom was in town over Cason’s birthday we went to Kroger to prep for the party and of course we had to walk past the magazine shelf before check out.

There it was.. All You… sitting in all its magazine glory. Ok, a little over dramatic but needless to say I gave into temptation and threw it in the cart! Andd…… in case your wondering, you don’t have to go to a Kroger like me to get this magazine… it’s now sold Nation Wide… happy dance!

Best part was… I had a coupon… double score so it made the purchase even better. {psstt… you can have a coupon too if you click here for $1 off of All you Magazine, while supplies last}

After salivating over most of the recipes as well as looking at the pictures thinking… “why didn’t I think of that?” I finally decided on a recipe that I needed to try! It was the Sautéed Fish Fillet, light, simple and delicious! I made a few changes to fit our own taste {like using Tilapia instead of Flounder} but the outcome was still glorious!  All in all this recipe is a total repeat meal, its healthy and budget savvy. I can’t wait to try a few more recipes from this edition.. I have my eye on a Lemon Ginger Bundt Cake Recipe … yeah… can’t wait to try that one…yum!

Notes

** I used tilapia instead of flounder because I like the taste better.
** I also added 1/2 cup of panko crumbs for a crust to add texture to the dish, while the original recipe does not require the panco.
** Lastly, I substituted basil for parsley.
