Made this great dinner tonight.  Sunday is our usual cooking day.  Usually I'm getting everything ready for the week ahead but I had a hankering for Hamburger Steak so I went ahead and made a full meal.  The recipe for the Hamburger Steak can be found at

The Lebanese Potatoes are on my site under Sides.

Fish Tacos

​When I first heard about them from my sister-in-law a long time ago, they just didn’t sound right.  Now they are ubiquitous and there are lots of delicious ones out there.  Problem is, they can be a bit pricey so I wanted to make them at home.  I read a few recipes and decided I could make a good one that would be easy to make.  Here are the tips:
 
1.Make the Mango Salsa and the Avocado Cream Sauce before starting the fish.
2.Make the marinade and marinate the fish.
3.Get you pan to a medium high before adding the fish.
4.Chop you cabbage if needed and anything else that sounds good to you.  Pumpkin seeds?  IDK.
 
Once you start it goes pretty easy since everything has been prepared ahead of time.  You can get regular tortillas or make your own paleo tortillas.

Mango Salsa

Salsa is just the Spanish word for "sauce" so anything can be a salsa that can also be a sauce.  In this case this is really an accompaniment that marries well with the flavors of the fish tacos.  I like to experiment with other recipes to see where I can make something better from what is already out there and that is what I did here.  The recipe is very easy and you can use it on chips or anything that strikes your fancy.  I'll post how to make the fish in an upcoming post.

The recipe is under "Dips, Marinades & Sauces" or you can go directly here:

Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings

7/17/2019

The recipe is ridiculously simple, and it’s a genius discovery by the amazing folks over at Cook’s Illustrated who used science to figure out how to make truly crispy wings in the oven. There are 2 unique steps in this recipe that make all the difference are:
 
1. Tossing the wings in baking powder which draws moisture to the surface of the skin and helps make it crispy. Rest assured you can’t taste the baking powder at all; and
2. Baking the wings at a low temperature first, which melts the fat under the skin (which also means less calories!), then cranking it right up to crisp up the skin.

These are fairly easy to make and have a huge payoff.
