Baked Snapper with Lemon-Mustard Sauce 

Total time: 15 minutes
    Walleye would be my first choice but that isn't available here.  Any nice filet will work, small cod, tilapia, catfish...

Baked Snapper with Lemon-Mustard Sauce Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Barley with Red Pepper

Total time: 20 minutes
   A bit of red pepper adds not only some bright color but some bright flavor to almost any food.   I use quick-cooking barley, which takes about 15 minutes.  Cook in chicken stock for added flavor.

These are delicious in the spring when the chives start coming up - as well as the rest of the summer.  If you don't have access to fresh chives, substitute dried.
