This Southwestern Tilapia is baked to perfection in a warm blend of spices . It is baked to flaky perfection in minutes .

Liquid Sunshine Punch

Liquid Sunshine Punch is the perfect adult punch for any summer event . It is slightly tropical and fruity but not too strong and can be sipped on all day. I always thought it was a cliche that in a blink of an eye your children will be grown. I am not speaking of my actual child but my sweet niece , she graduated from college this past week. It seems like yesterday she was running and playing with her long blonde hair in pigtails getting dirty with all her cousins , much to her mother’s dismay.

She was an adorable child that we all loved to be around and has transformed into fine young lady. At her graduation party I was feeling pretty old sitting with the young college aged girls until I tasted this punch they threw together.
