Fish Tacos

The kids weren't huge fans of these, they had cereal, but we liked them and I will make them again.


1 1/4 lbs frozen cod or haddock fillets, thawed
1 lime cut in half, divided (I got the lime juice and used that)
1 pkg (12 count) taco shells
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup mango or peach salsa (not the regular kid or it will not taste right)
1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced


Heat oven to 425 F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, I sprayed it with Pam as well, and place fish on it. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, pepper, and the juice from 1/2 lime. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes; you will know the fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Shortly after you put the fish in the oven, start heating up the taco shells- check the box for exact instructions. Fill the shells with fish, lettuce, salsa, and avocado. Squeeze the rest of the lime over tacos right before serving for a quick flavor boost.

Here we go

So I have been trying to decide if I was going to start thiis blog or not and I decided why not. I have been trying to get my recipes in order and trying to get back into my weekly planning. In the process of typing out my recipes to put into a book, I decided why not put one here a week. I know that we all run into what to make and I hope this helps you to find more things you will like to make. Now having said this I will only put recipes on here that I have made and will make again. If anyone else would like to be a part of this let me know and I will add you. I will try to post one recipe a week. Here's to cooking!
