Willow's things to try

Getting through all of the delicious sounding recipes is a daunting task indeed! I think I'm up to it though! I haven't made these dishes yet, I am saving them so I can! I will rate them as I try them and (hopefully) move them to the Recipes I Liked cookbook. Thanks for all of the inspiration!

Nancy's Tilapia (or Chicken or Veal) Piccata
Very Good 4.8/5

This is my own creation. Sweet, mild, healthy, non-fishy tilapia is complimented by lemon, capers, butter, broth, and white wine in this satisfying and deceptively easy meal. I like my piccata lemony with touches of onion, garlic, and capers to round out the taste. This is a basic recipe for 1 lb. of filets. Please reduce this recipe accordingly if you use fewer filets, unless you want the leftunders as lunch or another dinner, like I do, if all is not eaten during the first go-‘round. I am a strong believer in flexibility, so experiment and substitute most any flaky white fish, pounded-flat veal or chicken cutlets, according to your creativity, pantry contents, budget, ingredient-availability, and personal tastes. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this recipe, including any suggestions, comments, and input. Thank you for reading and trying this recipe! SparkPeople rocks my world!

This is a delicious and healthy recipe originally from Prevention Magazine. It is high in fiber and potassium, and low in fat. VERY NUTRITIOUS.

The barley for this recipe is hard to find for first timers. Just go to the grains section and look on the top or bottom shelf. It is in a white/yellow box with the Quaker man on it. Make sure you get the "quick" barley. It is worth it.
