Baked Ricotta Tilapia Recipe

**Recipe by Beth**

In my house we have a term that we throw around quite often.  That word, like recipe is Bethipe; I love to experiment with food.  Sometimes we have a hit and other times… well, let’s just say we order pizza.  Tonight, I decided to make Tilapia but we wanted something new to try.  On our venture to create a tasty low calorie dinner, we were absolutely delighted with the results of our baked ricotta Tilapia and could not wait to share with you!
