White Wine Tomato & Capers Tilapia

Yep, you read it right-- whitee winee. If you don't know anything about me, the first thing you should know, is that I am a HUGE wine-o. Don't judge me, or do. Its just who I am. And when I can cook with wine? Ah, I am sold. Adding a little wine makes everything better! :)

I paired this recipe with my previous post, Black Bean & Avocado Quinoa Wraps (to die for) click the link to view the recipe or you could add steamed broccoli or asparagus. Anyways, last night was my night for date night and to save money, I figured we could do date night IN! Which is one of my all time favorites. And since dessert was dark chocolate fondue (amaze, don't worry I will most def post it) I figured I should do a lighter appetizer and main course.

Jason and I are health FREAKS minus the fact he killed the rest of the sugar cookies this morning, hey you gotta live from time to time right? Anyways, we try and eat healthy its just part of our lifestyle and one of our favorite things to make and eat is tilapia. Low fat and an excellent source of protein.

I love cooking tilapia because it is healthy and so much cheaper to prepare than salmon. We try and stay within a pretty tight budget and cooking with tilapia gives us the top-of-the-line expensive dinner feel on a college student budget.

This recipe, like the majority of my recipes, is healthy, easy to make, and budget savvy. Enjoy-- I know we did! :)
