Tasty Tuesday Tilapia!

When Donna sent me this recipe back in early December, she was having some dental problems. I believe she's doing better these days, but her solution to the problem is still mighty tasty! I tried this one out last night, and, trust me, it's a keeper. With all that butter and garlic, it smelled incredible while it was baking--not fishy at all!

She writes:

Well, I had to make some softer food dishes for a few days. Because of my dental work. So what better thing? "fish"

I have too many picture files. I couldn't locate my favorite fishermen.

But I found this one to accompany the recipe. You can add your cute fisherman walking out of the water with his fish. If you can find it. (I did!)

But this WTF one: This I think is flyless fishing. Don't stand in a trout stream naked and tempt the trout with your juicy man worm? OUCH!!!!

Tilapia with Lemon Garlic Butter

So, Donna, is this the one you mean?



























He's cute, but this is still my favorite fisherman pic!

I'm blogging today on Casablanca Authors. Something about beginnings, I think. Not sure what I'll say. I'd much rather sit and stare at these buns....
