Easy Fish Tacos

There is a taco phenomenon going on right now and I have to say I am not hating it!  I love all kinds of tacos...who doesn't right?  We have breakfast tacos once a week in our house and sometimes will have another taco recipe for dinner all in the same week!  My hubby would eat tacos all day, everyday if I would make them for him, and our toddler is just as crazy about eating them too!  (Like father, like son!)  I love making my favorite foods like tacos at home because I can control the ingredients and make them a bit healthier, which means we get to eat them more!  One of my favorite easy and healthy weeknight meals that I make on a regular basis happens to be my easy fish tacos!

Lemon Rose Iced Tea

One of the things I miss most about living in Louisiana was the plethora of Mediterranean restaurants available to us.  Every time we go back to visit, you better believe that I make sure to hit up our favorite spots.  The last time that we were in town, my hubby and I got all of our favorite dishes and ended up ordering Lebanese tea that was so refreshing and delicious I couldn't believe how much I loved the combo of flavors.  (How did I not know about this delicious drink before now?)   I knew I had to make sure you knew about it too, so I created my own version at home!  Lemon Rose Iced Tea (Lebanese Tea) is going to be your new favorite summer beverage on the hottest of days!

Easy Loaded Açaí Bowls

My hubby is addicted it açaí bowls.  Every Friday he takes our son to a local cafe and they share one together!  Although I have been putting açaí packets in my smoothies for a while now, until we went to Hawaii I had never actually had an açaí bowl!  (I loved it obviously!)  They were so fresh and delicious, the perfect way to start our day!  I knew I wanted to start making them at home because they are much more cost effective this way, and now we can have them whenever we want!  I created a recipe for easy loaded açaí bowls that anyone can do right in their own kitchen!

Chocolate Coated Toasted Coconut Ice Cream

It has been raining since Sunday and the sun finallllyyyyyy came out yesterday evening for the first day of summer!  Summertime means it's officially ice cream season, even though I kind of feel like ice cream should be enjoyed all year long!  Who's with me?  Speaking of ice cream, when we were in Hawaii we ate at an amazing gelato spot (two nights in a row) and had a seriously delicious toasted coconut flavor that I haven't been able to get out of my head since we returned!  Naturally, I had to recreate this flavor at home and the result was amazing!  My chocolate coated toasted coconut ice cream might have just earned a spot as my most favorite ice cream I've ever made!
