Easy Weeknight Fish Tacos

Hello Friends!

Thanks to my friend Laura for inspiring this quick, weeknight meal creation. We workout together and we were comparing dinner notes. Laura said she was going to make Fish Tacos...so I did too! So delicious...lots of planned leftovers...healthy and best of all easy!! I'm sure there are more 'gourmet' ways to do this, but I love the shortcuts that make it do-able midweek!

Here's what you need.

White fish of your choice (I used tilapia because that's what was in my freezer)
Cajun Seasoning (your choice of brand, opt for low sodium if you can)
Whole Wheat Tortillas (small ones)
Cabbage (I used coleslaw mix)
Green Onion (Laura used red onion which I think would be delicious too)
Avocado (or guacamole)
Salsa
Lime juice (lots of it)

Place fish on a baking sheet, squeeze lime juice over it and coat with cajun seasoning. Bake according to directions. (If you are using a convection oven I like to overcook a little, makes it almost crispy, but convection keeps fish moist. See in the picture how it's a little 'toasty' on the edges? Love that!)

The rest is just as easy...a dollop of guacamole, or sliced avocado, some cabbage, onion, salsa and a little bit more lime juice squeezed in there! When fish is cooked, slice in half lengthwise and place on top!

Delicious. I had them two nights in a row! Today for lunch, I'm skipping the tortillas and having all the toppings on the cabbage!

Indian Food Intimidation

Hello friends. I have something I need to get off my chest. For years, I have been intimidated by curry. I don't know a Vindaloo from a Tikka Masala. What I do know is that I always enjoy an authentic Indian meal, I just want to be able to cook one myself! Last night a friend put on a fantastic Indian spread...butter chicken (none for me!) a delicious vegetable curry and a chick pea curry. There was of course naan bread and basmati rice. Delicious. Today I was inspired...I entered the grocery store without a list or any concrete plan. I just knew I wanted a curry dish, I knew what I wanted in it and how it should look and taste. Brave I know...but this story has a happy ending. I grabbed all my vegetables first. Onion, garlic, red pepper, cauliflower, potato and peas. I moved on to organic chick peas, light coconut milk and brown basmati rice. A great base...but then the curry conundrum. I appr...

Quest Bar Cookies!

Hello Friends, Many of you may know that I am a fan of Quest Bars. Sugar free, gluten free, low carb. Here's the link for all the nutrional info on them. www.questproteinbar.com Anyway, I was super excited about the new cookie dough flavour that's been released, but alas, it's not available in Canada....I wanted to try it because my friendly neighbourhood FUEL Supplements store owner, Aaron, told me he heard you could bake them up like little cookies. Well, that got me to thinking. Why would it be limited to the cookie dough variety, why not peanut butter or apple pie. With just a few available moments this morning I tried it...so great. Instead of noshing into a bar, I nibbled on 10 tiny cookies...crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Here's how I did it. I chose to use the Peanut Butter Flavour. I cut the bar into squares and placed on a tinfoil covered baking sheet, misted with PAM. ...

Make Room For It

Clutter is so detrimental. In your closets on your counters but most especially in your head. Outside clutter can be discarded with a little time and elbow grease but removing mental clutter is a whole other ball game. I'm going to speak about fitness and healthy eating but this can be applied to anything that has you stuck. I've fretted for months about losing my exercise routine. A new career move meant a new schedule in direct conflict with my gym time. It had been my gym time for as many years as I can remember and when I lost it (even though I love my job) I lost a little part of myself. My mind was over-active with new approaches to exercise but honestly they were mostly excuses about why I didn't really need to, mixed with a touch of self loathing. This thing that had been so important for my physical and mental well-being was getting further away...until a moment of clarity. Let me ask, have you tried meditating? Going quiet, letti...
