This past March, I was able to attend the International Home and Housewares show in Chicago. It is a great place for a kitchen product geek like me to see the newest items coming on to the market and in a few cases test out those new products. It is a place where manufacturers seek buyers for their new products and there are even awards for new innovations.
New….new….new…
In the whirlwind of new items sat the very large area that Pyrex occupied. You know Pyrex, they make those hard glass baking dishes and measuring cups. While Pyrex had their share of new products, they were also there to celebrate something old, their company. Pyrex is celebrating their 100 year anniversary in 2015.
To celebrate they decided to go big. REALLY BIG. In fact, Guinness Book of Worlds Records big. They unveiled the largest measuring cup ever made. Check out the photos here.

Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish
I love the colors of this dish with the blue plate.
If I am not going to eat fish the day I buy it, I prefer individually wrapped frozen fillets.
This pineapple relish can work for a whole host of dishes.
Season the fish.
Fry them.
A perfect dish!
Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish

Rantings of an Amateur Chef 
I love fish. Usually my husband and I eat Salmon. We have heart issues. I have a pacemaker, and he has had a five-by pass. New recipes are welcome in this house. My son fixes the fish carefully, and it tastes wonderful. He wants us to live a long, lengthy life!
