On occasion we have no idea what we are going to have for dinner and it comes down to whatever we happen to have on hand either in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer, mostly in all three. We happened to have some tilapia in the freezer so we decided to prepare that in some fashion for dinner last night. When I got home from work I set the filets into some thawing water and proceeded to cobble together the Tuscan Italian inspired dish. Just something I threw together with available ingredients, and quickly set up this dish from prep to dinner table in under 45 minutes.
