I made tilapia and cabbage for breakfast, it was SO good!
I take the pre-packaged cole slaw mix, i pre-heat a saute pan, coat it in non stick cooking spray and put the cabbage in and stir fry it until it wilts down. I add some tempura sauce to mine but you could add soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, italian dressing, whatever makes you happy. The whole package of slaw is 125 calories and 5 grams of protein and it bulks up a meal nicely so you don't think you'll starve to death! The tilapia i just cook iwth the cabbage in a little non stick spray with some spices (garlic powder, onion powder, mrs. dash lemon pepper) and that is my normal breakfast or lunch depending on my mood!

Grilled Peach and Red Bell Pepper Salsa
1 large red bell pepper, quartered, seeded
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 large (about 1 pound firm but ripe peaches, halved, pitted
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Mix oil, basil, mint and garlic in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Lightly brush cut side of peaches with half of oil mixture. Grill or broil peaches, cut side only, until light brown, watching closely to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Cool peaches. Grill or broil pepper, peel side only, until charred, about 8 minutes. Place pepper in paper bag, let stand 10 minutes. Peel pepper. Cut peaches and pepper into 1/2 inch pieces. Transfer to medium bowl. Add vinegar and remaining half of oil mixture. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper, toss gently to blend. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
