Fish Taco's

I have never eaten or made fish tacos.
But my husband loves them, so I gave
them a try.
Pretty good and not to horribly
hard to make.


1 1/2 lbs firm fish(i used halibut)
Tortilla's either corn or flour
2 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
black pepper
Shredded cheese,chopped tomatoes or avocado(optional)


Was and slice cabbage and mix with cider vinegar and salt, set aside.
In a large skillet on medium heat add your butter and fish,
cook until fish is no longer translucent and season with salt and pepper.
Pretty simple, assemble your taco and enjoy.

Lowfat Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

These were wonderful!!!
I like them better then enchiladas made
with red sauce.  And I tried to make them
as healthy as possible.

Recipe:
2 boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 can of low fat cheese soup
2 cans of low fat/reduced sodium cream of chicken soup
1/2 onion-minced
1 glove garlic-minced
1 1/2 packets taco seasoning (about 6 tablespoons)
1 cup of skim milk
2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
8 tortillas(flour or wheat)
1 teaspoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
In a large skillet, heat oil and saute onion and garlic, add in chicken and
shred as you cook. Next add in 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 2 tablespoons of
the cheese soup and 1/2 of milk, and 1/2 a packet of taco
seasoning,  mix well and bring to a boil.
Once mixed well and thickened remove from heat.
Now assemble your enchiladas, by place 2-3 tablespoons of
chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla and tightly roll up and
place seam side down in the baking pan. Continue until
all meat is used.
Finally in the same pan add the remaining soups,milk and the whole packet
of taco seasoning and bring a boil. Remove from heat and
pour over the enchiladas in the baking pan. Top with shredded
cheese and bake covered for 45minutes. Let stand
10 minutes before removing from pan.
Serve with salsa and cream cheese.

Hope you all try these and enjoy them.

* If preparing ahead to freeze, prepare
as above and the day before baking remove from
freezer and let thaw over night in the refrigerator.

So I'm starting to not be 
so good with the picture thing!
It has been a crazy week for us with sick
kiddos and now the "blizzard" so I 
for some reason have had a hard time getting
any alone time to cook meals, I seem to have a whinny toddler
or two helping and forget to take pictures! :( sorry

So taco pizza is easy and I healthy it up
a little in this recipe. My kids love it
and you can never go wrong with pizza right?

Recipe:
1 pound of ground meat-browned(i use half beef and half turkey)
1 whole wheat pizza crust recipe
1 cup of your favorite taco sauce
1-1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese(colby jack or cheddar)
2 tablespoons of taco seasoning or your favorite brand in a package

Toppings:
Tortilla chips crushed up
black olives
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes 
diced onions
more shredded cheese
sour cream
salsa or taco sauce


Brown meat in a large skillet and drain. Add in taco seasoning and let 
cool for about 15minutes.
On a large baking pan or pizza pan, spread out crust and 
poke holes with a fork over entire crust. Top with taco sauce,
meat and cheese. Bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes until crust is 
golden brown. 
Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting. After cutting
