Lime Cilantro Fish Tacos

Good morning! It truly is a good morning in this house because baby boy slept til 7:15! That never happens. He is more of a 5:30 a.m. kinda guy. So I was up, I had the laundry going, the coffee was being sipped and the emails had all been answered when I finally heard him announce he was awake.

It was magical!

Anyhoo- in celebration of this momentous occasion let's do some cookin'.

I really like fish tacos, they are light, simple and cheap. The Panko Crusted Tilapia Taco is my fav, but sometimes I want something even simpler. Click here for the recipe.

So I decided to make an easier version this past week. In this case you just broil the fisth and throw it on a tortilla. In my house we are debating which tastes better flour tortilla or corn. We are deeply divided on this issue.

Cinnamon knots!

I really like cinnamon. I mean, a lot. It's a strong flavor and I love strong flavors. I have been sprinkling it on my coffee for a long time, which I read recently has some great health benefits. Who was ahead of the crowd? This girl!

Anyway, I wanted to make something cinnamony, again. I am using up all my flour before I go on a health kick. If you could all pray for me that would be fantastic.

I made these cinnamon knots Sunday. They were a really nice, lightly sweetened treat and very easy to make. Click here for more.

Meal Plan Monday 7-23-12

I love cooking but I hate planning. It kind of stresses me out. But I have to admit once I make my menu it's done and I know what's going to happen and it makes like a million times easier. 

Also, I don't have to answer that ANNOYING question, "what's for dinner?" I do not know why every time I am asked that question I want to pull out my "fists of fury" (disclaimer: I do not have fists of fury I punch like a marshmallow) and give someone the business (disclaimer: I don't actually know what "the business" means). 

Okay, here we go. If you want more menus (that are probably infinitely better) check out OrgJunkie.

Monday: Chicken stir fry. This is the easiest "recipe" on the planet. I will share it in a brief blog on easy meals later this week. 

Tuesday: Meat loaf with cauliflower fritters. - Will share. Beardface loves when I make meat loaf. 

Wednesday: Cheesy cornbread but made with Conecuh sausage. My husband's favorite. 

Thursday: Chicken Ranch Tacos 

Friday: Pizza. Homemade pizza. It's the easiest thing and by the time Friday rolls around it's all I have left in me.
