Delicious Tilapia Scampi

We picked our first garden fresh tomato today! It was beautiful. With great self-control and sacrifice I let my four-year-old have it. :) He loved it. The corn is "as high as an elephant's eye." Well maybe not quite, but it's taller than me! It will be ripe in a few days here I hope! We are looking forward to it with great anticipation. We planted our second crop of peas a few weeks ago and the plants are just starting to pop up. We are getting cucumbers, a few peppers, beans, a few summer squash, carrots and plenty of chard. Too much actually. We can't keep on top of it. I froze a bunch of it today just so it wouldn't get too big. I'll blend it up and put it in sauces or other dishes. Speaking of dishes, here's another wonderful summer dish for you. Fish is great for summer because it's light and tasty! Enjoy.
