OUR FAVORITE RECIPES - ZESTY TILAPIA WITH MUSHROOMS
So last night I was supposed to go out with a friend for dinner at Calo's Ristorante in Andersonville. Unfortunately, our plans got changed and we never made it. As I'm searching through the freezer, I find some tilapia and think, good call, new year, new you, healthy. Normally I would make a pizza out of it, but I just had to find something different. So I give you an interesting twist on tilapia. Bon appetit.
