Easy Apple Crisp Without Oats

by 3 Comments

This apple crisp recipe without oats comes together quickly in less than an hour and is the perfect healthy fall dessert. It can be made in advance and reheated, and the addition of pecans, flaxseed, and hemp hearts to the strudel topping gives the best texture.

HELLO favorite fall dessert, I heart you.

This easy apple crisp recipe is one of my absolute favorite uses for apples, especially in the fall when orchard apples are everywhere and just.so.good. Gooey filling, crunchy topping, ice cream on top?

This, my friends, is our summertime, weekend, weeknight, anytime super fun taco night plan. Blackened fish tacos with cod, a delicious blackening seasoning, and your favorite Mexican side dishes.

These are seriously yummy tacos, and you make them yourself in half an hour.

I'm all about a fried fish taco (very into this always), but truly, frying things at home is such a pain. For home seafood cooking, give me delicious pan seared cod anytime. These blackened cod tacos are just as good as anything from a restaurant, and so simple to make! Let's do it.

Greek Yogurt Coleslaw with Poppyseed Dressing

by 7 Comments

THE BEST slaw for fish tacos recipe ever! Just 6 ingredients make this creamy, tangy, no mayo coleslaw one that you'll make again and again. I love this over fish tacos with peach salsa and sour cream guacamole, or with a grilled chicken dinner!

Will has started to do this thing where if he is unsatisfied with something I offer for a snack he gives me a texture clue as to what he really wants. So if he wants yogurt it's "I want something smushy," pretzels "I'm thinking of a cwunchy snack," and so on. It's hilarious, and I have no clue where he came up with it.

BUT, what I'm thrilled he's figured out is this: foods need different textures. So if we're talking about a soft fish taco, some crunchy slaw to top it is exactly the key to wake it up a little bit.

This particular slaw goes with just about anything: on top of BBQ sandwiches, in fish tacos, as a side dish to grilled chicken with corn on the cob. It's great with any cabbage you like, and the dressing is also delicious on green salads!

Hello and welcome to "this is a dinner that is very easy to make in half an hour, trust." Aka my favorite kind of recipe.

When it comes to dinner, a salmon rice bowl (or any kind of salmon with rice dinner tbh) is something that we eat AT LEAST once per week. I buy salmon, we always have rice, and then we think on what we want the bowl to taste like - Asian sticky soy sauce, sundried tomatoes over everything, or lemon butter because lemon butter is pretty much always the answer.

Fresh Peach Jalapeno Salsa

by 10 Comments

Delicious, refreshing homemade tomato peach salsa! This recipe is made right in the food processor and can be made with fresh or canned peaches. The tomatoes, peaches, and jalapeno combine with lime juice for delicious, bright flavor that is delicious on chips served next to sour cream guacamole for a fun party platter.

Ok, where do we fall on fruit in our salsa? I am team YES to pineapple pizza, YES to fruit in salsa, all the sweet/savory combos in the world.

This peach salsa is super simple because we make it right in the food processor, aka NO CHOPPING. The end result is somewhere between a salsa and a peach pico de gallo - fresh, light, with TONS of flavor.

I make this all the time to have as a snack with a cookout or pool party situation, but it's also a really great topping for fish tacos or weeknight seared salmon - a little fresh, islandy vibe even in colder months.

(PS, you can definitely make this with canned peaches year round!)
