Have Others Cook For You: Talapia and Cantaloupe

Talapia and Cantaloupe
What’s better than whipping up a delicious paleo meal? Having someone else whip it up for you! I stopped by my aunt and uncle’s crib in Annapolis yesterday. As usual, as soon as I walked in I was treated to a nice hot meal. As I walked into the kitchen, my aunt pulled out of the oven a tray of seasoned talapia (Omega-3s in da house!!!). She then proceeded to cut up a cantaloupe. Combine the two and voila….a tasty, protein-packed plate of paleoness. The fish was perfectly seasoned, and tasted so good I swore it must have been fresh caught. Much to my surprise, my aunt walked over to the freezer and produced a bag of frozen talapia filets. She had bought them at Sam’s Club, which like Costco, specializes in selling products in bulk. So with the right cooking touch, and a little seasoning know-how, you can have tasty good-for-you fish that can be made at a moment’s notice.
The slight saltiness of the fish was nicely balanced out by the sweetness of the cantaloupe. Cantaloupe has long been one of my favorites fruits, often making a great dessert. The idea of combining it with a fish filet to make a lunch meal had never crossed my mind. This is one great benefit of going to other people ‘s homes and having them cook for you: you can get exposed to food combinations you never would have thought of yourself.
If you are on the paleo diet and you have friends or family that cook, don’t be afraid to tell them what you can and can not eat. Just give them the basic info, and let them create something. Just because you are on the paleo diet doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying social get togethers. You might be surprised at what new tasty creations you find.
