So ok last week I (Kelly) had to work Sunday so it was a short weekend and we only made salsa and fish tacos on Monday. But these fish tacos were super good, better than the ones we have made before. We also have pictures to add from the wraps we made a few weeks back, these were awesome and vegetarian too!
Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema

To prepare crema, combine the first 8 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
To prepare tacos, combine cumin and next 5 ingredients (through garlic powder) in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of fish. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish in a bowl; break into pieces with a fork. Heat tortillas according to package directions. Divide fish evenly among tortillas; top each with 1/4 cup cabbage and 1 tablespoon crema.

And we also made: Crepes with Goat Cheese and Smoked Salmon sprinkled with Capers.
Ingredients are crepes, goat cheese, smoked salmon and capers ~ duh! Only problem with this meal is that the kids like goat cheese and smoked salmon, they seem to like anything expensive and delicious!
Lastly...Teriyaki and Sesame Noodles with Shrimp
This was just a box mix of noodles from Aldis that we added sauteed shrimp to it, which made all the better.
