No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Panko Crusted Tilapia

WOW this was GOOD!

I bought this fish from Costco. I used some and froze the rest. I had 4 big pieces to use up tonight and I wanted something different, so I went Googling to see what I could find.

My kids ate this like it was their last meal. The loved it! Of course, by the time I fed the kids and got to eat mine (and take pictures), it was cold. I'm used to eating cold food. This is nothing new for me and I've learned to accept it!



Panko Crusted Tilapia
Adapted from tilapiarecipes.ca
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
  • 1/3 cup mustard (I used regular yellow, but you could use Dijon)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • butter and oil for frying
Directions
  1. In a dish, combine bread crumbs and parsley flakes.
  2. In another dish, combine mustard, mayo and spices.
  3. Coat the fish with the mustard mixture then coat with the breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat a little butter and olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat. I fried 2 pieces of fish at a time, but it'll depend on the size of your fish and the size of your pan. Cook the fish for about 4 minutes on one side then flip it (add more butter and oil if needed) and cook on the other side for another 4 minutes or until cooked through. It'll flake easily with a fork.
  5. Serve with rice and yogurt.
