Focus on the Good

My biggest struggle is to be positive, look for the good in everything and to be content. I stress and worry and fret about things that I can't control because oh I don't know I'm a woman? 

One month ago I found out about my miscarriage. One month of pain, heartache and sadness. 

It's been difficult to go through each day with a smile on my face and happiness in my heart but I am snapping myself out of it. 

I will focus on the good 🌈 

I have just recently had a few friends contact me about living healthier and starting their weight loss journey. I was so deep in my struggle that I didn't realize I was inspiring others. Thank you for contacting me friends. You have helped me feel worthy of being happy and helping others. I am not perfect but I am always trying. 

Homemade Fish Tacos

A few days ago I posted on Instagram and Facebook a picture of two very delish fish tacos that I threw together for dinner. My biggest struggle is trying not to eat out every night. It's so nice to have someone make food for you then not have to clean up after. Every mommy's dream right?

This is where I based my idea from:

For the fish:
I am a lazy cook and if there are too many directions I will find another way to make it. Also if I don't have the ingredients I improvise. The fish I used was frozen wild caught cod from Smith's grocery. I find their fish is the best price for me and convenient. When I look for fish I never buy farm raised. Always try to get wild because that's where most of the benefits are. This is how I modified the recipe.

Take fish and coat in flour, then milk and then breading. I used Italian bread crumbs and it tasted so good. Next time I will add some salt. You can use what you like.

Then bake in oven at 425 F* for 19 min or until fish is cooked and crust is crisp.

For the slaw:
I used a coleslaw bag from the produce section at the grocery store. You can buy cabbage and shred it yourself but I am all about shortcuts so I did it my way. Roughly chop up cilantro (what the recipe calls for or to taste) and add lime juice.

For the sauce:

I used this recipe because the avocado I bought went bad so again I improvised. Instead of sour cream I used plain greek yogurt from Chobani. I love that brand because it's all natural and no nasty additives.

Arrange corn tortilla, fish, slaw and drizzle sauce over top. We ate these with chips and salsa. So yummy! 

Enjoy,
