My Foodie Call

Hey all! Here is an easy fish recipe for the family. Who doesn’t love their own little foiled fish packet? One for each family member. Assuming your family has 5 people in it. :). This recipe is done with Tilapia. Do you do Tilapia? A good starter fish for the family that wants to cut down on meat. The good thing about Tilapia is  that it is pretty mild so it is usually accepted by even the most finicky-fish nay-sayers.  It also packs loads of protein into your diet while maintaining a low-fat profile. Sweet.

A certain kid always wants extra fish. Any guesses as to whose packet this may be?

Whisk up your sauce.

Add your veggies to one of your foil pieces.

Add one of your tilapia filets on top of your veggies.

Add your sauce. Cook those babies up.

Dinner is done.
