Baked Cod with a Tomato Feta Sauce

Easter dinner is meant to be delicious. And this was scrumptious.

Homemade tomato sauce and white fish with white wine, spring salad, and crusty french bread to soak up all that sauce. I've made it before, and even Ali, who doesn't like fish loves this dish. It's a little different every time, but it's always good. I'm planning on using the extra sauce for omelets tomorrow morning. 

 Although the fish turned out pretty well, our french bread turned extra crunchy when left under the broiler too long. This is the aftermath. The bread was legitimately on fire. ON FIRE. Hilarious, smoke detector went off, whole house smelled like burnt bread, and we tossed those bad boys Hunger Games-style. Luckily we had a whole other loaf, which did not get toasted or put in the oven. Funny. Welcome to Cook the Namesake Cooking.

Happy Easter everyone, and enjoy your Sunday mornings. I hope Bunny is good to you, and he makes his rounds. I saw a hawk circling today, so hopefully Bunny made it through the night. 

Happy Easter, and yay for Jesus for resurrecting.
