Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia Meal

Our lunch today was so easy and tasty...just had to share it with you.  The main dish was the Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia (recipe to follow) with side dishes canned carrots, fresh yellow squash and baked potato.  Mouth watering yet?

Just scrub some white potatoes put in microwave safe dish and with a knife or fork poke a few holes in potato...cover and microwave for 10-12 minutes (depending on size...10 min. usually does the trick). 

Wash a couple of fresh yellow squash and cut off ends, slice and put in sauce pan along with 1/2 onion, tablespoon of butter and 1/4 cup chicken broth.  Bring to a boil and continue to cook on meduim heat for about 10-12 minutes.  (this was for 2 people...will need to use more squash for more people, but wouldn't increase the broth too much more)

Open can of sliced carrots and add a chicken broth cube and teaspoon of butter and generous pepper.  Bring to a boil and put on low heat until fish is done.
