Fish Tacos by Ashley

Jeremy and I love Fish Tacos. It is a good thing because they are HUGE in Austin, so are breakfast tacos, but that is for another post. Anyway, these were easy and yummy. They weren't as good as our favorite at Berryhill, but they are still pretty good.
*I got this recipe from a friend (I say friend even though I have never met her. We know her husband from college, but I just know I like her), she does a foodie friday on her blog and I pretty much have stolen all of them, and will post them, but I we don't post anything we haven't made or tried yet.

Ingredients:
flour tortillas
shredded cheese
slaw (cabbage, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, mayo, honey mustard dressing)
fish batter mix
fish

Preparation:
1. Thaw your fish. I used individually sealed Tilapia.
2. Make your slaw: you could use any slaw and it would be good, but this one is simple and good. This is per 1 cup of slaw. I made 4 cups, because I plan on eating it with a couple of other meals (ex. slaw turkey dogs).
Slaw: 1 Tbs mayo and honey mustard dressing. 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, sugar. Tbs olive oil and whisk. Add cabbage and let sit in fridge for a little while.
3. Heat your skillet to medium with vegetable or canola oil. You can dip your fish in milk then the batter, but my fish was already wet, so I just dipped it right in the batter. It only takes a few minutes. When finished place on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
4. You can use whatever items on your fish taco you want. We did cheese, slaw and fish.

*I wasn't sure if my 2yo would like them, so I made him a cheese quesadilla. He ended up eating the fish. He loved it.
*You don't have to batter your fish. You could bake or grill it with the right seasoning and it would be good also.

Bulldog Brittle

Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

A Littel Tidbit by Ashley

Ok, so this isn't a recipe, but something tells me you will all want to know.  I have been meaning to tell my Mom, Lindsey, and Kimberly but keep forgetting. If someone told me I could only have two things in my make-up bag, it would probably be eyeliner and mascara.  I found a new mascara that I love.  This is coming from someone who's favorite was $27 dollar a tube Lancome mascara.  It is lashblast from Cover Girl.  O magazine rated it #1 best mascara of this year! I love it!! Just thought I would share! 

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.
