Fish Tacos

In a medium bowl, toss:

2 cups shredded lettuce

1 diced avocado

1/3 c. chopped cilantro

tomatoes (optional)

1 T. lime juice

2 t. olive oil

Set aside and prepare the fish:

1 lb thin fish fillets

kosher salt

cumin

Coat the fish with the salt and cumin. Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add fish; cook 5-7 minutes, turning once, until just cooked through. Remove fish to a plate and break into chunks.

Fill 8 warmed tortillas with lettuce mixture and fish. Top with salsa if desired.

I liked the corn tortillas but my son didn't. So next time I'll try using small flour tortillas and maybe even premade taco shells.

Recipe from Women's Day Magazine September 2010 These were really easy and quite tasty.

Apple Crisp

I got this recipe from Gina's blog. It is amazing!

Filling:

5 medium apples, peeled and diced

1.5 oz. raisins (small box)

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/2 lemon, juiced

3 t. cornstarch

1/4 cup agave nectar (I found it next to the honey at the health food store)

Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup light brown sugar (not packed)

1 t. cinnamon

1/4 cup (half stick) butter, melted

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine apples, raisins, cinnamon, agave nectar and lemon juice in large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss until fruit is coated. Place fruit in an ungreased baking dish.

Mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake about 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is tender.

I love mine warm with a scoop of low fat ice cream.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

3/4 lb. of frozen prepared meatballs (I used turkey since I try to watch our cholesterol and fat intake)

1 pkg of stir fry vegetables OR do what I did and add:

sliced red peppers

sliced green peppers

sliced onion

pineapple (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup apricot jam (I used sugar free)

1/4 cup catalina dressing

1 T. soy sauce

Combine all ingredients in large skillet. Cook on medium heat 10 min or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.

Serve over hot cooked rice.

Easy and delicious! I got this recipe from my daughter, who's turning out to be a much better cook than I am.
