Baked Chipotle Tilapia; a quick and easy weeknight meal.  Serve it with your favorite sides, or over salad for a healthy dinner.

Anyone else out there pining for the great thaw so that we can get back to our porches and a little slow and low over the smoker? Here’s where die hard grill fanatics are rolling their eyes and proclaiming their supremacy. That’s fine. I am all about the grill all winter long too. I’ll even fire up the smoker in the snow.  It’s just been damned cold. And last I checked, I had the technology to cook indoors, so I might as well make use of it before the icicles thaw from my smoker and the great out doors is calling my name.

Here’s one for the weeknights.
