Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the white wine, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- 2. Place each tilapia fillet on a separate 14-by-12-inch piece of nonstick foil. Drizzle one-quarter of the white wine mixture over each fish fillet and top with one-quarter of the tomatoes, capers and thyme. Fold the foil up over each piece of fish and seal to create a packet. Put the packets on a sheet pan and bake until the fish becomes fragrant, 20 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets; let cool for 3 minutes. Open the packets, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt evenly over the fillets and serve.

DILAPIDATED TILAPIA PACKETS
Very easy, quick and delicious creation of my husband's which works just as well on the grill as in the oven. It's really not dilapidated at all, he just thought it just had that flow-off-the-tongue sound. Plus he's really warped... like his lunatic wife.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Clean the scallions, cutting off most of the green. Cut them in two pieces, and slice each piece in half lengthwise.
- On each sheet of foil, place 1/2 teaspoon butter. Drape 1/4 of the tilapia filets over the butter, add salt and pepper to taste and one quarter of the slice scallions. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of water to each packet, sprinkle 1/4 of the herbes de provence on top of each, then fold the foil up and over the filet until you have a loose packet, making sure there's some room inside to steam. Seal all edges. Repeat for the other filets.
- Put the packets on a baking sheet. If you've folded them correctly they should not leak while they're in the oven. If you're in doubt, put them in a large oven dish instead. Put into oven for 20-25 minutes.
- It's very difficult to overcook fish this way, so if you're leery of the fish being undercooked, leave it in slightly longer.
- Open each packet at the table -- you don't want to miss that aroma!

GRILLED MUSHROOMS IN FOIL PACKETS
If you like to grill foods at a picnic, here's a great vegetarian option. Prepare these packets at home, then pack them, ready to grill, in your picnic basket. The recipe is inspired by one in Patricia Wells's cookbook "Vegetable Harvest." You can make this with cultivated or wild mushrooms.

Steps:
- Cut four 12-by-12-inch squares of heavy aluminum foil, or eight squares of regular aluminum foil (stack two sheets each of the lighter foil to make four squares).
- In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Use a large spoon to blend the ingredients.
- Brush the dull side of the aluminum squares with olive oil, and divide the mushrooms among the four squares. Fold the squares over and crimp the edges together to form well-sealed packets. Place on a hot grill, and grill 20 to 25 minutes. Remove one packet from the grill, and place on a plate. Carefully open it to check for doneness. The mushrooms should be tender and juicy. Either transfer to plates or bowls (there will be lots of juice), or cut the packets and eat the mushrooms directly from them. Have lots of crusty bread on hand to sop up the juices.

SPICY TILAPIA WITH MUSHROOMS AND ZUCCHINI
I wanted to add more fish to my diet so one day I bought fresh Tilapia and looked online for an easy recipe to cook that evening because I never buy fresh fish and didn't know the first thing how to cook it. I found a recipe similar but I added my own special touch to it and pretty much changed the original. My husband and I loved it. Here's my version!

Steps:
- Instructions.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry onion, garlic clove and pepper until crisp-tender, then add zucchini and continue to cook for a short time. Finally add mushrooms. Push veggies off to the side. Sprinkle one side of Tilapia with Cajun seasoning. Add to skillet. Cook about three minutes and turn.
- Cut lime in half and squeeze lime juice on tilapia from one half of the lime. Use the other half for serving if you like to squeeze it fresh on your fish. Sprinkle cayenne pepper according to taste. Then cover and continue to cook until fish is done, about another three minutes. Serve.
- Pan may dry after sautéing veggies, so I spray some olive oil spray before I place tilapia in pan to keep it from sticking. I also like to add a sprinkle of Marjoram on fish.
- I like to serve it with Steamed Jasmine Rice.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Tilapia: Opt for firm and brightly colored tilapia fillets for the best results.
- Use Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a delicious flavor to the dish. Make sure it's of good quality.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Season the tilapia and vegetables liberally to enhance their flavors.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: Tilapia cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Use Parchment Paper or Aluminum Foil: Both work well for creating the packets. Make sure to seal them tightly to prevent the juices from escaping.
- Add Some Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil can elevate the flavor of the dish. Tuck them into the packets before sealing.
- Experiment with Different Vegetables: Feel free to swap out the mushrooms, zucchini, and potatoes for other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
