Super Easy Blackened Tilapia

I must admit hat I've been sacking lately with the gourmet recipes for the fam. But my excuse of being 9 months preggers is perfect and very just. I mean I actually like cooking for my boys, I find it therapeutic really. But if I'm going to do it in these last few days of being a baby cooker I need it to be simple and use things I already have around the house.

Thank you Pinterest for this super easy Tilapia creation. It literally took 5 minutes to prep and 12- 15 minutes to bake. Minimal clean up too thanks to my friend Mr. Tin Foil. Even the 5 year old gave me the two thumbs up stamp of approval and that is the biggest win of all.

Side note: I didn't have the onion powder on hand so I decided to skip it and it turned out just fine. So don't fret if you don't have every single spice in your kitchen.
