Gingerbread House Playgroup

Today Kaitlyn, Alyssa, and I went to a Gingerbread House Playgroup. All of Kaitlyn's best friends were there and they decorated little gingerbread houses made by a couple of the other moms the night before. The hardest part was for the kids to get the candy pieces on the houses before going into their mouths. :) Kaitlyn's house looked wonderful as always!

We tried a new fish recipe tonight. I don't normally like ginger-y tasting stuff, but this was pretty good!

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, crushed or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:
In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.
