Beer Battered Fish Taco - Breaded Cod

Image
~Beer Battered Fish Tacos~ This is my favorite  fish taco recipe I have tried. We've made these tacos on numerous occasions and we'll make them on many more! It's so easy and you can get the ingredients at any grocery store. Let's get to it: Ingredients: 1 box of beer-battered cod (in the frozen fish section - trust me it's delicious for frozen fish) 1 bag of coleslaw mix (by the lettuce) 1 bottle of coleslaw dressing (in the ranch isle) Aioli chipotle dressing (in the ranch isle) One or two sliced   cucumber(s) Mexican corn salsa (in the jarred salsa isle) A package of taco sized tortillas **First things first** ~Get your coleslaw mixed up and into the fridge at least a few hours before~ How to prepare: It's so easy! And will only take you the 20-25 minutes the fish needs to bake! Pop that fish onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or spray lightly with cooking spray (this is important) and set your timer to b

Viking Pie with Spicy Ground Chorizo ~ Dinner Party Special

Image
If you like  spicy foods , this dish is for you. It has an incredible kick and the flavor is mouthwatering.  This recipe is made from scratch. If you choose to use frozen hashbrowns, you won't get the full flavor intertwined with the shredded potatoes. SO...what is a  Viking Pie ? I coined this term when I started making these dishes. When I tried to come up with a name for it I ended up saying, "I don't know what to call it...it just looks like something the Vikings would eat." And there we go. The  Viking Pie  was born. Meat and potatoes. Those are the main ingredients in this recipe. With a few little additives, you'll have yourself a pie that everyone will love. So what do you need? Ingredients: Chorizo (can be purchased at most grocery stores) 4-5 medium potatoes 1/4 cup Ranch dressing 1 TBSP Season salt 2 eggs 1/4 cup egg whites (or one egg minus the yolk) 1/4 cup parmesan cheese Let's get started! First thin

Quick and Easy ~ Low carb cream cheese crepe

Image
~This post contains affiliate links~ This is a short and sweet recipe for cream cheese crepes. These measurements will make 1 crepe. So double, triple, and quadruple as needed.  I have used this with an 8oz. block of cream cheese to make 4 good sized crepes. Finding  healthy  recipes that don't taste like cardboard can be really difficult. Especially when it's a breakfast recipe. This one here is delicious and can be filled with any kind of fruit or fruit spreads you wish. Ingredients for 1 crepe 2 tablespoons cream cheese 2 egg whites (half a cup) (I buy egg whites by the carton so I don’t waste my yolks) 1 Tsp Vanilla Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg (optional) ~All the ingredients above add up to 3g of carbs~ Make it Soften the cream cheese Using a whisk, processor, or magic bullet (this works great) blend ingredients for 30 seconds. Preheat your non-stick pan on medium heat When heated, add a small amount of cooking spray Pour in your mixture

Campfire Stew ~ From Scratch

Image
**This post contains affiliate links** What is campfire stew?  Well, it's just a stew that I started cooking over a campfire at the lake with my family. It grew so popular that it has been requested at most camping expeditions and events. Serve this stew alongside my  Viking Pie  for your cool-weather dinner party. Honestly, you don't have to cook this over a fire...you can make it wherever you wish. It  is   much  more convenient to make in the kitchen. This recipe is  SO  versatile and incredible, you'll have people swarming your campsite (or dining room) to slurp up every last spoonful. AND  it's fairly easy to make. I never wanted to give this recipe out. Ever. Never, ever, forever, never, ever. However...I get tired of it being requested so often that I'll just pass it along so folks can make it themselves. Not only is it delicious, but it is also surprisingly healthy. It is a  low-carb  stew and definitely doesn't taste like it! He

Sauteed Salmon with Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar

Image
My favorite Salmon recipe thus far! I desperately wanted salmon for lunch today and since all I had was packaged, frozen fillets (because fresh salmon is hard to come by in North Dakota) I figured it wouldn't meet my expectations. Also, as much as I love salmon, I can't stand the super-crazy-fishy-aftertaste. It has one of the worst lingering aftertastes in any fish I've ever had - in my opinion, of course. So, I dug through the cupboards and found my raspberry balsamic vinegar and I am sure glad I did. What you will need: 1 Salmon Fillet 1 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar 1 tsp Avocado Oil (or cooking oil of your choice) A pinch of Salt After melting a tablespoon of butter in my pan, I plopped in the salmon filet. I cooked each side for about 2 minutes, then drizzled about a 1/2 tablespoon of the raspberry balsamic vinegar onto each side of the filet. I let it brown into the fish for abo
