After almost two weeks of indulgent vacation, I am back in my kitchen, It feels so good! I have so many ideas for new recipes, I just hope I have enough time to make them all. Summer is not over yet so, my kids are the ones ruling my time these days but, motivation is here.
I went to Aldi’s in Wichita Falls (they don’t have HEB but that’s another sad story) and they had a picture of beautifully cooked tilapia fillets over the seafood section. I don’t know what the dish was but It was garnished with parsley and lemon wedges, I immediately thought “I am making fish piccata as soon as I get home.” So, here it is!
