Easy Lemon Tilapia

This week I’m sharing one of my “go to” quick meals.  It’s not really a recipe, just add a little seasoning and bake, but I thought it’s still worth sharing with you for a delicious, healthy, and hassle-free meal.


Recipe for Easy Lemon Tilapia:
4-6 tilapia filets
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Lemon Juice (optional)
Directions:  Place fish on non stick baking sheet or glass casserole dish. Add about a teaspoon of lemon juice to each filet (if using).  Season with lemon pepper.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Do not over bake.
Tips: Serve with steamed vegetables or grilled veggie kabobs and mashed potatoes or rice pilaf for a completely deliciously healthy meal.
 For a spicy kick, try adding Cajun seasoning as well. It’s great!

Friday Favorites – Week 75

Photobucket

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by for Friday Favorites.  
Before I get to this week’s features, I wanted to tell you about an event that one of our blog friends is putting on and how you can participate.  Anne at The Saturday Evening Pot is hosting a 100-Day Countdown To Christmas, and she’s looking for bloggers to guest post with recipes, food-related crafts, and DIY projects. I’ll be contributing a post or two the event, and I was hoping that some of you might contribute as well.  Check out this post for more details.
Also, I’m attempting to do more guests posts and blog swaps in the future. As of now, I’ve only done a couple of these, and I want to do more.  I just need a little push I think! So if anyone would like to do a blog swap with me, please contact me by email and we’ll set something up!


Now on with the party!

Friday Favorites – Week 72

Hey guys!  Happy Friday!  Today I have a freebie for some of you.  If you who frequent my site, you may have noticed that I’ve started using the Rafflecopter application for my giveaways.  It is a super-mega-cool program, which makes running giveaways a lot easier for hosts!  And it also makes it easier for our readers to enter. 

 The application is free but is still in the testing phases and is currently open by invite only.  But as one of the lucky bloggers chosen to participate in the beta testing, I was given a few invite codes this week!  Before I give them to anyone else, I thought it would be cool to share the Rafflecopter-love with my Friday Favorites friends. 
So if you run giveaways on your site and would like to try out Rafflecopter, just leave a comment or send me an email letting me know that you’d like one of the invites!  I’ll then send out the codes on a first come, first serve basis.
