Fish Taco Bowls

The best weeknight meal! With perfectly cooked fish, cilantro lime rice, pico de gallo, avocado, and THE MOST epic cilantro lime dressing!

Hello to my new favorite meal of 2019.

I’m serious. I will be eating this all year starting now until the end of 2019. I mean, hello, fried fish taco bowls? Yes, yes, 1000%.

Now please don’t be intimidated by the ingredient list. It seems like a lot but don’t worry – there’s a lot of overlap between the cilantro lime rice and the best ever cilantro lime dressing.

And you can always take some shortcuts by using store-bought pico de gallo. No judgment here.

I just ask that you don’t skimp on the cilantro lime rice! The more lime juice, the more cilantro, the better.

Oh, and the tortilla chips. Yes, you’ll definitely need those for snacking and “spooning” purposes!

Fish Taco Bowls

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

The best weeknight meal! With perfectly cooked fish, cilantro lime rice, pico de gallo, avocado, and THE MOST epic cilantro lime dressing!

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 cup canola oil, or more, as needed
• 1 pound fresh cod fillets, cut into 3/4-inch thick strips
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/4 cups Panko*
• 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
• 1 cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought
• 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and sliced

For the cilantro lime dressing

• 1 cup loosely packed cilantro, stems removed
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic
• Juice of 1 lime
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions:

1. To make the cilantro lime dressing, combine cilantro, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add olive oil and vinegar in a slow stream until emulsified; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions. Stir in cilantro and lime juice; set aside.
3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
4. Season cod with chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge cod in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.
5. Working in batches, add cod to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Divide rice mixture into bowls. Top with cod, cabbage, pico de gallo and avocado.
7. Serve with cilantro lime dressing

Notes:

*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.

Spinach and White Bean Meatball Soup

My favorite cozy weeknight soup! Made so hearty with white beans, spinach, and the most tender chicken meatballs!

Happy post-Christmas day!

I hope you all had the most amazing Christmas yesterday. I ate about 17 donuts, opened all of my presents, and then finished off my night with some warm monkey bread.

Oh, and among my presents were freshly baked chocolate chip cookies from Grandma, which I had right before bed, in bed actually, with a glass of milk. And I’m not sorry about it at all!

Now we have a few more days here in Indianapolis but all I can think about is curling up in my own bed at home with a giant bowl of this soup (with a hidden stash of Grandma’s cookies for dessert, of course), sopping up all this goodness with the toasted crostini bites.

There’s so much treasure in this soup guys, from the hearty white beans to the baby spinach to the most tender chicken meatballs. Not to mention, the freshly grated Parmesan for that finishing touch!

My favorite cozy weeknight soup! Made so hearty with white beans, spinach, and the most tender chicken meatballs!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday! For this week, I separated the Christmas grocery list from the rest of the week. Those of you who plan to use the entire weeks plan should cross check both lists to make sure you don’t over buy (mostly applies to things such as herbs, grains and miscellaneous).

Creamy Roasted Mushroom Soup

So creamy, so rich, so hearty and so comforting! The secret to this soup is roasting the mushrooms in garlic and fresh thyme!

Greetings from Chicago!

It’s dipping below 30 degrees F here and aside from the deep dish pizza I crushed last night, I really really need a bowl of this mushroom soup!

It’s the creamiest of all cream soups with a secret ingredient: roasted mushrooms, of course!

Roasting the mushrooms beforehand makes all the difference in the world – creating the most earthy, hearty, perfectly seasoned mushrooms one can ask for.

And if you like your soup more pureed, you can also go the extra mile and use the immersion blender here, but I’m more of a chunky-soup-type gal.

Either way, please have all the crusty bread ready here to sop up all the mushroom goodness!

Creamy Roasted Mushroom Soup

Yield: 4-6 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

So creamy, so rich, so hearty and so comforting! The secret to this soup is roasting the mushrooms in garlic and fresh thyme!

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced and divided
• 8 fresh thyme sprigs, divided
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large sweet onion, diced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup dry white wine*
• 5 cups chicken stock
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Place mushrooms in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, half of the garlic and 4 sprigs thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
3. Place into oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until browned and tender, stirring once; let cool before coarsely chopping.
4. Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock and wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Stir in chicken stock, remaining thyme, and bay leaves; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
7. Stir in mushrooms; simmer until thickened, about 10-15 additional minutes. Remove from heat; stir in heavy cream.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Notes:

*Additional chicken stock can be used for white wine as a non-alcoholic substitute.
