Skipping back to week 1 of the Real Simple one-month meal plan.
The roasted tilapia, potatoes and lemons was a nice balance of summer and winter-- crisp, fresh lemons and tilapia and familiar, homey potatoes and thyme. Kalamata olives to add a Mediterranean flair. Perfect for October. At the risk of sounding cliche, this looked incredibly sophisticated but was real simple.
Next time, I'll make it ever-so-slightly more complicated but keeping half of the thyme on stems and breaking off the leaves and chopping the other half. The thyme looked appealing on stem, but was difficult to eat, especially when the roasted lemons also fell apart and we were picking out lemon zest as well. The lemon issue may have been user error; next time I'll use a larger pan and try to get them crispy on top (this time, I used a small casserole and ended up putting the tilapia on top of the lemons and potatoes).
