Fish Taco Salad

This is Ben's new favorite & my first original recipe that I know of! If you like fish tacos, this salad's for you. Enjoy!

1/4 head cabbage, shredded
6 large Romaine leaves, cut into thin strips
1 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
1 roma tomato, chopped
2-3 fillets of tilapia
cumin
Mrs. Dash (or salt & pepper....I'm trying to cook w/o salt)
2 limes: TIP...microwave 1 lime for 30 seconds before halving and squeezing the juice. You'll get 50% more juice with a lot less effort!
1 t.-T. of olive oil
pico de gallo/ your fav. salsa

Cut veggies and divide evenly between 2 bowls. Rub fish with cumin & Mrs. Dash on both sides. Heat pan to a medium high heat and add oil. Add fillets and top with juice of half a lime. Cook for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and add lime to the other side, and cook until done....about another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, serve on top of salad. The tilipia should flake easily and be white inside if it's done. Dress your salad with fresh salsa or pico de gallo, and a splash of lime.

Servings: 2

We were starving and I didn't know if it would be good or not, so no photos this time. I'll post pics when I make it again. :)

This Week in History

From youngest to oldest:

Ruby is really walking! We spent 3 hours in Urgent Care. She threw up 7 times this week, has a raging ear infection and a high temp on and offf since Tuesday. I held her for about 20 hours this week, she was so sad and lethargic. She's also talking more...uh oh, thank you, & hello! Ruby also loves to pat D's back when he is crying or sad...so sensitive she is. I also found her sitting in the dark in my little bathroom with the door closed...you guessed it, poopy diaper and all. I refuse to even think potty training right now, so stop showing me these little signs, Ruby-roo.!

Dylan watched an unhealthy amount of tv. He also has been a big helper with his sis & loves to snuggle lately. He wants to say all our family prayers and is super cute when he repeats scriptures. He loved having preschool at our house this week. He also is convinced he's faster than Elle, a girl in Kaleb's kindergarten class, who just so happens to look exactly like Elle on Legally Blonde.

K had a great bball game, is learning a lot & having fun. He made it to purple twice this week...the ultimate reward for good behavior in kindi, a trip to the treasure box and a sticker! He also started answering and obeying the first time, such a pleasant change. Kaleb taught his first FHE lesson by reading our picture book, I am a Child of God, and bearing his sweet testimony.

Ben asked me to be his girl & kissed me FOR THE FIRST TIME eleven years ago over President's Day weekend, a CRAZY road trip neither one of us will ever forget! He was also the STAR STUDENT at his appt. this week, and is a third of the way to his goal. Not bad for 2 months! Ben worked really hard this week, putting fires out at work, and burning both ends of the candle for a few days/nights in a row. So proud of my hottie boyfriend!

I hit my pre-baby-baby-baby weight FOR THE FIRST TIME (I'm loving this country song right now, btw) in 6 years. Sadly, things are just NOT the same, so just keep swimmin' I must! A little definition was uncovered in the area others know as abs...I normally call them my muffin top/koala pouch. Hoping to be done with these two gal pals of mine before we make it to Hawaii. I also devoured Peace Like a River, ordered 6 books from Thriftbooks, and rededicated myself to rereading Tom Sawyer.

A desert tortoise was spotted in the foothills of South Mountain. This is how we spent our Monday off for Presidents' Day together. I wonder what it was called back then? Regardless, it's been a monumental week around here!
