<p><span style="font-size: small;">I cook dinner every night. This doesn&#39;t make a superhero, or a martyr, or better than people who don&#39;t.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I just <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2009/04/honest-food.html" target="_self">like food</a> and when you want to eat food, you pretty much have to make it from scratch. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It&#39;s as simple as that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Anyways, I was having a tough evening the other night. It was 5:30, the kids were hungry and there was no fresh food in the house. And there was no way I was heading to the grocery store or a restaurant with three hungry little boys in tow. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So I went to one of my go-to easy dinners: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/baked-tilapia-with-fresh-herbs" target="_self">Baked Tilapia with Herbs</a> (Or Lemon. Or Both, really.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">This recipe is so easy that writing this post is exactly four times more work than actually making it. But here it is. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(You&#39;re welcome.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I always have a package of frozen tilapia in the freezer, so making this takes absolutely no planning on my part. This meal goes from freezer to table in 20 minutes. And it&#39;s yummy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Here it is, in seven easy steps:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">1. Turn on your oven. Set it to 375 degrees. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil (you don&#39;t have to do this, but since you&#39;re making this on a day when you&#39;re stressed it just saves a bit of cleanup work.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">2. Place frozen (or defrosted) tilapia filets on your baking dish.<br /></span></p>

<p>3. Season with salt and pepper</p>

<p>4. Top with mayonnaise</p>

<p>&#0160;5. Find any dried herbs you have in your pantry. I had some parsley flakes and dill. Obviously, fresh herbs taste better but this is an emergency meal. Dried flakes will have to do.</p>

<p>&#0160;6. Sprinkle herbs liberally over the mayo. If you have lemon, top with a slice or two. (I didn&#39;t have any, but it makes the dish even better.)</p>

<p>&#0160;7. Place fish in the oven for 15 minutes or so.</p>

<p>Add a salad or bread or veggie on the side and Ta-da! Dinner is done!</p>
<p>(I don&#39;t have a picture of the finished dish because the boys were hungry and I had to feed them right away. I wish I was kidding.)</p>
