Orange Tilapia Foil Packets Recipe

Baked to perfection every time, Orange Tilapia Foil Packets are a quick and easy dinner. At only 245 calories, it’s also a healthy meal. The delicious orange marmalade sauce gives a zesty flavor to the tilapia and veggies, which are baked in the same packet. The tilapia is moist and flaky, just as it should be. And the best part, sealed in a foil packet, there won’t be any pots or pans to scrub after dinner.

Grilled Lemon Shrimp and Veggie Kabobs Recipe

My Grilled Lemon Shrimp and Veggie Kabobs was just what I needed. Great any time of year, but so fantastic on a warm summer evening, especially when your BBQ is calling out to you. This recipe is easy since you put everything on your skewers and cook them the same time. It’s also versatile when choosing which veggies to use, just pick your favorites.  I love the colorful mini bell peppers because they’re sweet and don’t need to be seeded first (just don’t eat the top where the stem is, that’s where the few seeds are). I also love the fact that this meal is healthy for you; high protein and low carbs (Keto/Atkins diets). But mostly I love this recipe because it tastes amazing and it’s so pretty to serve to your family and guests.
