"Fat-burning" Tilapia

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was noted that: cayenne, ginger, and mustard are 3 ingredients that help you burn fat just by eating them.

Sorry, no picture yet:(

•¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
 •2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
 •1 teaspoon paprika
 •1 teaspoon ginger
 •1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
 •1 teaspoon dried mustard
 •1 teaspoon chili powder
 •1 pinch cayenne pepper
 •4 tilapia filets, thawed

 1.Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
 2.In a medium-sized bowl combine olive oil, garlic and seasonings.
 3.Dip each filet into the seasoning and place it on the baking sheet.
 4.Pour any remaining seasoning over the filets on the sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven.
 5.Bake for 10 -12 minutes until fish flakes easily.
In my opinion, I loved this recipe! The seasonings were a bit much for my girls so be careful if you are making this for small children.

1 c minced green onion
10 3/4 oz can cream of celery (We don't like celery but tried it in this recipe)
10 3/4 zo can cream of shrimp (never knew there was such a thing)

1 1/2 t Old Bay Seasoning (Didn't have any)
1 lb fresh crabmeat (used imitation)
garnish: green onion

1. In a 5 or 6 qt slow cooker, melt butter on high (This takes too long. Just pop it in the microwave). Add half and half, green onions, soups, corn, seasoning, and crabmeat; stir well.
2. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes; reduce heat to low; cook for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Garnish with green onion if desired.

In my opinion: This was even better than I expected. I couldn't wait to eat the leftovers. It reheats just fine in the microwave and I added a hint of salt for added flavor. It would be fun to serve in a bread bowl.
