I love an easy recipe. I have two young kids who always need attention and it always seems to be the most demanding when I need to make dinner. So, I tend to make meals that require little prep, and take help from the oven any chance I get.
This is one of those recipes. And, because tilapia is a such a super easy fish to make, it takes on any flavor you combine with it. I buy it in bulk and freeze it so I always have it on hand for a quick meal. The girls love it too, as it’s not a fishy fish.
Today’s dinner is all about the orange. Just one orange goes a long way, and with a few other fridge staples, dinner came together super quickly. Just add some veg and rice and you have the absolute perfect meal.
