Today, was a busy day. We went to Miami this morning, and I spent the rest of the day cleaning and organizing the house. Maybe not a busy day, but it went by really fast.
We have a fridge full of leftovers and can't waste food, so we have enjoyed a week of lazy dinners and leftovers. I posted a recipe from my old blog to make up for my lack of creativity this week.
Now it is time for bed. I have a few more things to do in the morning before we pick Nathan up at the airport.
Fish Tacos
I used Sweetwater Sch'Wheat Beer for the batter. My fish is battered and bake in the oven instead of frying in oil. I only used a little cooking spray on the oven rack to prevent the fish from sticking. This is my attempt on healthier beer batter fish tacos. Enjoy!
Sch'Wheat. My favorite beer. It adds a mild beer flavor. Not to over powering.
The beer batter with cumin, ground red pepper for heat, and chili powder.
The pieces of fish cooking in the oven. I used Mahi Mahi (it is firm and was on sale :)
Ingredients for my lite avocado cream sauce.
Topping for tacos. I used the skin of the avocado to serve sauce.
