Fish Tacos

Image
By
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 :))

Pasta Carbonara

By
"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say.  You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store.  While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something  with that tortellini!  I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will  appear to not be cooked.  We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe.  The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still.  I promise it is delicious.  But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance.  Now you ma...

Spinach Waffles

By
Spinach in waffles?  Gross, right? Only for people trying to lose weight, right?  WRONG.  Right? Okay, I see how thoroughly confused you are now.  And I know what you're thinking: "wait, she can see me?? Creep!"  Oh, you weren't thinking that? Weird, you should be--that IS creepy.  But I digress...we were speaking of spinach in a standard, non-spinachy food.  The thing is, it's SOOOO good you guys!  I even made regular waffles side by side to compare, and my kids (my KIDS!) said the spinach ones were better (cue jaw drop, gasp, and fake fainting spell).  Full disclosure, one (out of 6) of the kids said they were gross, but she refused to actually taste any, so we just won't pay any attention to her.  She's kind of in the middle anyway, so she's used to it.... (cue awkward, judging silence from the reader).  Even if you're kids refuse to taste them, though, you have to be a grown-up and at least try them.  Try them, you will se...
