Clearin’. It. Out.
We enjoyed this tilapia (on sale for $1.99/lb!) with Brussels sprouts from the freezer, and rolls from the freezer.

That tilapia looks so yummy!
Tilapia for $1.99 is a great deal! It looks so tasty topped with zucchini and tomatoes – definitely my kind of meal!
Perfect timing! I asked my husband last night what fish I should try to make at home, because I think we could use more fish in our diet, but I want to stay away from processed (frozen fishsticks) and high-fat (tuna melt — all that mayo). But since I didn’t grow up eating fish, I have no idea how to prepare it. This looks very do-able even for me!
This looks delicious! I’ll have to give it a try if Tilapia goes on sale, it’s usually about $4 a pound here.
