Fish Tacos with Chipotle Lime Cilantro Slaw, and Couscous

Image
I am pretty positive these are my absolute favorite taco. Lots of flavor, and tangy...oh the tanginess! mmm, mmm good! If I had to state one negative, it would be the mayo it calls for. But I am wondering if I can just substitute more greek yogurt for it. But since I never really have mayo, I won't allow myself to feel guilty over this scrumdidliumptious meal. (Please, don't be intimidated by the plethora of ingredients   This dish really does come together in a flash!)  Fish Tacos with Chipotle Lime Cilantro Slaw, and Couscous To make the tilapia: 2 tbsp butter 3 or 4 tilapia fillets Tomato Jalepeno Onion s&p Dice up the tomato, onion, and jalepeno, (Use as much as you want). Melt butter in a pan, sprinkle s&p on the fillets, and throw everything into the pan on medium-high. What I do here is flip the fillet, and scrape off the top cooked layer. Then flip, and repeat....hopefully that makes sense. Warm tortillas Avocado Extra cil

Penne with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Cauliflower & Capers

I found a similar recipe on Pinterest, made one or two adjustments and ended up with something we all thought was good.  I would give it a 7 out of 10.  It is a fairly healthy pasta dish, I think, (we used whole grain penne) which was also a plus.  Make it easier tip:  Make the sauce & pasta in advance.  Then cook the cauliflower when you are getting ready for dinner and toss it all together right at the end. Rees was afraid of the capers but was easily able to pick them out.  I don't recommend getting rid of those capers, they add a good touch.   Isla loved this stuff and I was pretty excited she was chowing down cauliflower which can be an acquired taste.  If you aren't a cauliflower person, you can decrease the amount this calls for or I was thinking you could probably swap it out for some chicken.   Penne with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Cauliflower & Capers Serves 6 Ingredients  The sauce: 3 roasted red bell peppers, sliced 3 tbsp almonds, toasting
