Concerning fish & chips...



Ok, so the title is a bit deceiving. The two were not served together. My wonderful husband has cooked dinner for me two nights in a row, leaving me to sit back, relax, and enjoy some pretty awesome food! Tonight he fixed colby/jack stuffed burgers on flash fried whole wheat buns. Amazing to say the least. I had the privilege of concocting some home made french fries to go along with the burgers. Here's how that went:

2 medium sized potatoes, cut into thin strips
1 Tbsp. butter
enough vegetable oil (or the oil of your choosing) to cover the bottom of your skillet
a dash of olive oil

Directions:
Place the oils (including butter) in skillet and turn the heat to med/high. Add the potatoes. Season with your favorite seasonings, and cook until golden brown or desired crispness. Serve directly out of skillet.

I also promised you the recipe for the tuna tacos from Friday. Here it is:

2-3 cans chunk tuna in water
whole wheat tortillas
shredded cabbage
1/2 tomato, diced
1/ cup onion, diced
1 avocado, sliced (or guacamole)
tarter sauce (optional)
sour cream
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Directions: 
Season the tuna with the lemon juice, then build your own tacos!! :) I served these with steamed corn, fresh fruit salad and cottage cheese. Very yummy, and easy recipe! Bon appetite!

  1. Love the taco recipe! When Patrick and I were first married we discovered that tuna and black beans made great tacos.

    In small skillet simply heat up the drained tuna with 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed). I would add a little fresh garlic, cumin and fresh cilantro. Serve in tortilla with cabbage slaw, cheese and pico de gallo and they were wonderful, cheap and if you leave the cheese off pretty friendly to your waist line. Loving the blog!
