Let's Taco About Tuesday

Taco Tuesday!!!

OK so I don't know about you guys but will and I LOVE taco Tuesday. It can be your traditional tacos or something a little different and lately I have been trying to branch out and try new things when it comes to cooking!

We have always loved eating whole healthy meals but don't get me wrong.....we love the unhealthy stuff too (WHO DOES'NT??). But just like everyone else we have been trying to start our new year off on a healthy note.

Taco Tuesday has always been my favorite, I'm not really sure why? maybe because when I became a wife a very short year ago my cooking skills were.....uhmmm.....limited haha but even before I got married I have always love love loved Mexican food or tacos. If you hear me turn down Mexican food I'm probably not feeling well like seriously guys. Anyway, Most of my New recipes actually come from Pinterest! I know crazy? some things I get from my mom (ok Alot haha) because she has always been a natural cook and I hope someday I can be like her...Here are some Links to my Latest Pinterest cooking Inspirations! I am also typing up for your guys how I prepared some of these recipes because sometimes I do things differently or I add and changes things to work best for us!

Avocado Salsa (also they used salmon in this recipe but I like tilapia)

My new Favorite tilapia recipe has been Blackened Tilapia with Avocado Salsa and Rice.
It is a super simple recipe and It cooks up pretty fast so if you're like me and when you get home from a long work day the last thing you want to do is spend forever prepping and cooking dinner. Its just not my thing, When I get home I truthfully want to throw on comfy clothes and just chill so a quick and easy but healthy and yummy dinner is a GoTO for me!

Here is a couple of my favorites I have made lately for taco night!
______________________________________________________________
Blackened Tilapia

thaw 3-4 tilapia filtes

In a small bowl mix the seasonings together.

1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp. Chilli Powder

once that is mixed spread on the fish front and back.
I cook my Tilapia on the stove top on medium-high heat.
cook the fish until flakey and then set on a cutting board to cool and be shredded for tacos!

while my Fish is cooking I make the Avocado Salsa!
___________________________________________________
Avocado Salsa

Two Avocados cubed

A small Red Onion. I only use my judgement with it! I like onion but you don't want it too be too over powering so I just use a little for this!

Half a lime

Cilantro

and Salt!

Mix this all together in a bowl and set aside to top tacos with!

To night I made a new recipe....Homemade Chipotle Sauce.
_____________________________________________________
Chipotle Sauce 

1 Cup Sour Cream or plain Yogurt.

1-2 Chipotles

a lime and a dash of salt!

I blended this together in my food processor but If you have a blender I'm sure it works just as well!


These are my GOTO taco night favs. I would love to hear your taco Tuesday favorites if you have them!

Signing off guys.

Love,

Adventures

Hey all! I am Beth West, if you're reading this you probably already knew that but this is me. I recently moved to Nashville, Tennessee with my amazing hubby Will. We have two adorable pups who are my world, Knox and Oakley #spoiled. I love being a dog mom and of course a wife this has all been so new to me but so so exciting. Will and I don't do boring often- honestly I can only think of a few times in the time we've been together that I've been "Bored". we do fun and outgoing things or so we think haha. I am a firm believer in experiences and adventures because there is so much in this world and I want to see it all and experience everything I can. My soul thrives when I meet new people or try new things, it gives me joy and sincere happiness to have these new experiences or adventures which is why I have decided to start blogging some about these wonderful life happenings. I am not a writer...I repeat...I AM NOT A WRITER. I am terrible at proper wri

Be Kind, you wont regret it!

Be kind. My husband use to laugh at me daily because I always told him I never like to watch the news.... So you're probably wondering why start with that Beth? Well you see I wrote this post over a month ago now and I saved it because I just felt it was not the right time to share it. So do you watch the news? I do not. well thats not true...I do but I hate it. The news today is not the new stations fault its ours and by ours I don't necessarily mean directly the people reading this but there are so many people responsible no one can even begin to point a finger...But thats my problem...STOP POINTING FINGERS aside from the thought that runs through my head that my great Aunt use to drill into me "Pointing is never polite." I constantly wonder what changed to make our world so sad? what changed that makes me scared to send my kids to school some day? why are people so full of anger and sadness that they feel they need to take it out on you or our children or me

Salt Lake City, Utah and Denver, Colorado!

Salt lake City, Utah and Denver, Colorado! We saw so much in such a short week I cannot even begin to process it all and we have been home almost a week now! We started our week flying to Salt lake city to see my best friend Lisa, We were so excited! My goal was to see more, do more and experience new things I hadn't read about or seen on blogs and pinterest. I wanted to venture and find new things and WE DID! Our first day we drove to this small place tucked in the mountains called Ruth's Diner, The food was a perfect start to our Utah adventures. We then Explored The University of Utah where Lisa works and Will loved every minute of it! that afternoon we headed up to Park City where the winter olympics were once held. the location was full of history and culture that blew your mind. We could not believe the views alone were breathtaking. We finished off our first day enjoying some pizza pies with a dear friend of mine from High school, Blakelee! she brought her baby gir
