Fish Tacos

Ingredients:
4 fish filets (I used mahi mahi--any flaky fish will do, but NO salmon)
cabbage, green or red
cider vinegar
mango
red onion
cucumber
cilantro
limes (or lime juice)
avocados
black beans, drained & rinsed
cajun seasoning
corn tortillas

Cut up (thinly shred) about a quarter to a third of the cabbage head.  Pour 2 or 3 tablespoons of vinegar on the cabbage, then season with salt & pepper and set aside.  Peel then dice up entire mango and put in a serving bowl (you're making a mango salsa).  Peel then dice up about a cup worth of cucumber and add to the mango.  Dice up about a third of the red onion and add to mango salsa.  Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to mango salsa.  Squeeze 2 limes into the mango salsa and mix everything up nicely.  The avocado is to garnish the taco, so just chop that up into a bowl of it's own.  Season fish with cajun seasoning, spray both sides of fish with cooking spray, and spray your cooking surface (I used our sandwich grill).  Cook about 4 minutes each side; depending on the thickness of the filet, maybe a little longer or shorter.  Don't overcook fish!  It should fall apart pretty easily but still be quite moist.
Put about half a filet in each warm tortilla.  Garnish with cabbage, mango salsa, black beans, avocado, and even tomatoes if you want.  Enjoy!!  (I had to eat mine with a fork--my tortilla wouldn't fold.  I suppose you could put less fish in each tortilla and less of the toppings, then it might actually fold up :))

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is.  And that's okay!  Variety is the spice of life.  If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies.... INGREDIENTS: 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. kosher salt 3 sticks (or 1 1/2 cups) butter, softened 1 cup granulated suger 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 1 Tbs vanilla extract 1 cup dark chocolate chips 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips DIRECTIONS: 1) Preheat oven to 350/375 F.  (My oven coo

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

            If you read my previous post, you "heard" me drool over this recipe in the middle of getting to another recipe.  Yeah, when I mentioned pumpkin it made me think of this coffee cake again, and I couldn't help the dribble of drool that escaped out of the corner of my mouth.  Sorry for the details there...                                         Anyway, this is a great use for any pumpkin puree you have, whether it's opened already or not.  It's seriously good.  My daughter even made the semi-blasphemous statement that we should probably just replace pumpkin pie with this cake at thanksgiving this year!  That's going pretty far of course, because you know....TRADITION! TRADITION! (Fiddler on the Roof anyone?). But she's right that it is that good.        You should give it a shot.  If you don't replace generations-old traditions with it, that's okay, but you should consider making it a tradition to have this coffee cake at some point every
