Lemon Dilly-Tilapia and Vegetable Medley-Easy Snap Peasy Meal


Whether the weather is fine or icky, a quick meal is always nice. It is also very affordable. It’s especially nice when it can be done in less than 25 minutes, start to finish at home!

It’s super easy:

Put all the next items in a slightly deeper skillet:

1 tablespoon coconut oil

2 pieces of frozen tilapia fillets

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1 tablespoon dried dill

Salt and Pepper

2 tablespoons lemon juice (bottled is okay)

1 bag of frozen vegetable mix (I used the one that has broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas and water chestnuts in it!)

Put the fish and oil on the bottom of the skillet and just dump everything else on top. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat until fish is cooked through and the vegetables are hot. Serve and Enjoy!

Side Tip: Jasmine tea, served hot, pairs very nicely with the meal.

Pesca-Veggie Curry–Feeds 2-4 people for Cheap-Homemade for the Win


A super easy meal to make–with very common, often in household ingredients (and if you purchase ingredients, the items not used can be used in other stuff easily!)

1 large yam, washed and coarsely chopped

2 big carrots, peeled and shredded/chopped

1 medium purple onion, peeled and chopped

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky, doesn’t matter)

1 tablespoon Curry Powder

1 tsp each, dried ginger, black pepper, Garam Masala, sea salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil

3 Tilapia Filets (I like the frozen ones from AlDI)

4 cups of cold water

Put everything in a large, deep skillet or medium sized pan, except fish

Simmer and stir for 10 minutues, put the fish on top, cover and let simmer for 40-45 on medium heat until fish is done and veggies are soft/cooked through. Mix well to break up fish and incorporate everything together.

Can be eaten as is or served over cooked rice. If eaten as it, serves 2-4, if served over rice, served 6-8.

+Can be altered to be vegetarian or vegan by eliminating the fish!
