Asian Green Beans

I was really impressed with these! I came across a recipe that had some of the ingredients I used, but I added some and took some out to make it my own. It's always fun to play around and create something that tastes great!

Ingredients -

- 1 lb. (or any amount) of fresh or frozen green beans
- olive oil
- balsamic
- soy sauce
- terriyaki sauce
- sea salt

Method -

- Place green beans in a sautè pan
- Sprinkle with sea salt and add all other ingredients to you liking
(You may need to add a little water if your using fresh green beans)
- Sautè over medium-high heat - don't let green beans get soggy
- Drain off excess juices


Enjoy! Great side dish that doesn't take long!

Fish Tacos

Ingredients :

-Tilapia Fillets
-Spanish Rice (I use Goya)
-15oz. Can Diced Tomatoes (I use the seasoned can)
-Hard/Soft shells
-2 limes
-Avocado
-Cilantro
-Onion
-Cheese
-Sour Cream
-Salt
-Pepper


Prep :

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

-Season Tilapia on both sides in a glass baking dish with salt, pepper and fresh lime to your liking.

-Begin prepping/cooking rice and add can of tomatoes.

-Place Tilapia in oven for 15 min. or until fish flakes with a fork.

-Prep the sides you may want, for instance avocado, cilantro, onion, cheese, etc.

-Remove fish from oven when ready and flake fillets with a fork. Mix with rice or keep separate, you choose!

-Place fish in hard or soft shell alone, with sides, rice, however you like and squeeze lime on top.


Muy bueno! Very simple and refreshing! If you have both hard and soft shells, try spreading a little sour cream on a soft shell and wrap it around the bottom of a hard shell (sour cream will hold them together). Fill with your Tilapia, rice and sides, enjoy!
