When you want something quick, light and filling…
October is a busy month at my house there are a bunch of birthday celebrations going on among other festive occasions. So we have had quite a few dinners and lunches out and many treats were eaten. Which is perfectly fine in my book but I always stress balance so this week we are trying to eat a little healthier this at my house. Which is there this inspiration for this meal came form.

Ingredients:
Tilapia filet ( or whichever fish you prefer)
Fresh or frozen green beans ( or whichever green vegetable you prefer)
Whole wheat pasta

Two Tomatoes (diced)
Fresh lemon

1. Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and lemon pepper seasoning.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Give the fish a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
