Grilled Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

Image
As you can tell we love seafood and anything in a tortilla. The recipe is so fun to put together.  My obsession for them wasn't until a few years ago. My boyfriend Mario ordered them when we were in Monterrey. I pretty much ate off his plate. It was so delicious that I re-created it a billion times since then. I've made them for dinners with my family, Mario's family, for a party with friends. It has been a hit every single time. You have to try the mango salsa because it is everything!!!  Mango Salsa!!!!!!!!!!! All the sauce ingredients in the food processor.... TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!! Season these babies with love :)  THE BEST tortillas ever!!! I will buy no other kind because these are it! So light and airy! Setting up my taco station, & plates are ready, set, GO! (excuse the mess on on my counter haha!) With a side of refried black beans and cilantro brown rice. All made with love :)  Ingre...

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

This past week, it was my group's turn to bring something for our class potluck, I volunteered to do a pasta salad that needed to be vegetarian! You can't go wrong with a pasta salad and to marry it with olives, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese!!!  So funny I'm making this pasta salad then as soon as I got done, I checked my email that my professor had to cancel class. I had two aluminum trays full of pasta salad. I gave most of it away to my family and friends, which I did not mind sharing the love. I knew we couldn't eat all of that ourselves. This recipe is so tasty, simple, and fast because the only cooking you'll be doing is boiling this pasta! I decided not to do measurements for this one because I made this for my class of 15-20. you can adjust the measurements easily for however many you are trying to feed :)  Mediterranean Pasta Salad  Organic Penne pasta  Medium whole olives Jarred marinated artichoke hearts  Fe...

Shrimp Tacos with homemade guacamole

Image
Happy Wednesday! :) I am pushing through the week. Today was beautiful with the sun out, my sister and I took my son to the park. We raced on the basketball court over and over again. It's his new favorite thing to do now and we love to watch him run. He clenches his fists and has his elbows up. It's the cutest thing ever. Now I need a nap but I'd rather blog instead.  Sometimes making a homemade dinner is challenging. Especially when you don't have a whole lot of time or you are just exhausted from your day or week, you want something quick, easy, and good for you! One thing we can always agree on are shrimp tacos. Plus my two year old Lennon loves shrimp and guacamole so why not marry them together in a meal! YES HOMEMADE GUAC!!!! It is seriously the best thing ever I could eat this everyday for the rest of my life, if it was the only thing I had to eat! Lennon eats my guac by the spoonful! I caught him literally grabbing a spoonful and putting the whole th...

First Blog Post!

Hi everyone :) I am so excited to share with you more about my daily inspirations and recipes. January was such a time for me to regroup and get my life together as everyone was starting their new years' resolutions, I was still figuring out mine. I was so overwhelmed thinking about graduating, starting a job again and potty training, and everything else I needed to balance. Now I can finally breathe because I WILL be graduating from USF in December! It's been such a journey and it is scary to know that I am almost to that finish line. Now February is my month to start fresh with a new semester, working again, getting organized, and get moving! This blog has always been on my mind for a while now. I read blogs from others that have inspired my days whether it were recipes, fashion, or mommy stories. That is what I hope you get when you come to my blog, just a little inspiration. Lovebirds, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. My boyfriend and I usually like to spen...
