Hello, Sunday.  Well, I’m back stateside and writing this from the Toronto airport (on Saturday) waiting for my final leg home, feet up, hoping that the inevitable swelling from 8 hours on the last plane goes down a little. I’m tired, cranky from some mediocre…

Fish Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice

Fish Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice

So since I’m currently (hopefully not) lost in the middle of the Dutch tulip fields with H, I got a treat or two or three up my sleeve (starting with these fish tacos!) for some guest posts to take care of you while I’m gone.  With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, I couldn’t leave you without an idea or two to get your party planning brain started, now could I?  I mean, I like you! I really, really like you.

First up is Ellie from Hungry by Nature.  Wholesome eats and treats are her specialty, and today we’ve got her awesome sauce fish tacos with cilantro-lime cauliflower rice. Without further ramblings on my part, meet Ellie!

It’s my favorite day of the week – Taco Tuesday! Let’s eat some fish tacos.
 
Let’s get right down to it because tacos are probably most definitely one of my favorite foods. Once I made a different taco variation every single day for an entire week just for the heck of it and I LOVED IT. Every single second of it.

Fish tacos happen to be one of the most wonderful things on the planet. <— That’s actually scientifically proven. I can send you the data if you’re really interested, or you can just trust me. Just trust me.

These tacos are stupid easy to make, but sometimes I am real lazy and in those cases I go to one of two places in Chicago – I love the crispy fish taco from Antique Taco and the raw ahi tuna poke taco from BIG & littles. Srsly. If you live in Chicago and haven’t tried either of those yet, you must.

Like, stop reading this blog and go. Right now. I mean not riiiiight now, please finish reading and then go.

Have you guys gotten into the cauliflower fad – Cauliflower pizza crust? Cauliflower steaks? Cauliflower rice? I tried the pizza crust thing and I just can’t get into it. The crust is the best part of the pizza! And I honestly haven’t tried cauliflower steaks yet… not so sure about it. But I am WAY into cauliflower rice.

And this slaw? So easy (I cheated and bought a bag of cabbage slaw from Trader Joe’s) and the dressing is a simple mix of Greek yogurt and lime juice.

Seriously, this is what fish taco dreams are made of.

Hello, Sunday. Hello, Easter! Whether or not today is a special day for you, I hope you’re using it well. Relaxing, cooking, reading, being…maybe with feet up and a warm (or cold) beverage in hand. I’m spending mine doing a mix of both.  Living close…

I realized that we’re sort of flash backing to the 80’s a little (and also maybe the 50’s?) with this week’s recipes, but there’s comforting about classics, right? Well, I like to think so and I’m doing our best to twist up some favorites. Start with this broken glass cake.

Hello, Sunday. Hello, Spring! Yes, I know it officially came our way a few weeks ago, but now it seems like it’s actually here. Suns out, guns out and all that, and two hours on a tennis court yesterday means I’m also joining the masses…
