Had fish tacos for dinner last night and haven’t

Had fish tacos for dinner last night and haven’t stopped thinking about them since. Picked up everything to make my BLACKENED FISH TACOS so I can relive my dinner again this weekend 🌮 These are SO easy to make (as always) and are the perfect summer dish! They won’t disappoint.
.
Ingredients:
Fish Tacos:
1 lb white fish we used cod
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, & paprika
Dash of cayenne
Avocado oil
8 tortillas we used @sietefoods cassava tortillas
Toppings:
1 cup slaw mix + 1-2 tbsp ranch dressing
Guacamole
Salsa
Greek yogurt
Lime wedges
Hot sauce
Instructions:
Cut your fish into long, thin filets. Squeeze lime juice into the fish and then coat both sides with the seasoning.
Cook in a hot skillet over medium heat for 4-6 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the fish.
Heat your tortillas on a hot skillet for a few seconds each side. Assemble your tacos to your liking and serve!
Makes about 4 servings.

I honestly think this Coconut Lime Chicken is one

I honestly think this Coconut Lime Chicken is one of the best things I’ve ever made. I first posted it YEARS ago and have made it so many times since, not only with chicken but shrimp, tofu and even just veggies as a side. As long as there is sauce + rice to soak it up, I’m in heaven. Please make it ASAP 🙏🏼
.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, cut longways to make them thinner
1-2 tbsp coconut oil
1 can coconut milk, just the solid top part
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 limes
2 tbsp cilantro
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
Kosher salt & pepper
Instructions:
Cut the chicken breasts in half longways and season with salt & peoper. Sear in coconut oil on medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes each side. Remove chicken from the pan and reduce heat to medium.
Add in the shallot, garlic, and a little more coconut oil. Sauté until fragrant/soft.
Add in the cream (solidified top part) of the canned coconut milk, juice from the limes, cilantro, and salt, pepper, turmeric, & red chili flakes.
Add chicken back in and simmer for a couple minutes.
Top with red chili flakes for added spice and serve with rice. I did half regular rice and half cauliflower rice. I added some peas, cilantro and lime juice too 😋 Makes 4 servings.

Pasta Sunday 🍋🍝 This Lemony + Cheesy Pasta i

Pasta Sunday 🍋🍝 This Lemony + Cheesy Pasta is the most perfect pasta dish for summer. It’s extremely simple to make but it’s honestly one of my all time favorite recipes. Made a simple salad as a side and it was just perfection 🤌🏼
.
Ingredients:
12 oz pasta, I used fresh spaghetti from @eatalyla
1 lemon, juiced and zested (I finish it off with more lemon juice because I love lots of lemon!)
1 cup Pecorino cheese, (finely grated Parmesan will work too, just make sure you grate it fresh!)
4 tbsp salted butter
Freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt
Red chili flakes
Fresh parsley to serve
Ingredients:
Cook your pasta according to the package- do not strain it (you’ll be removing the pasta directly from the water it was cooked in to the pan with the sauce to help the it stick better). Don’t forget to generously salt your pasta water!
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the grated cheese, lemon zest, and slowly add in pasta water to create a thick creamy paste. Set aside.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add about 1 tsp of black pepper and butter. Once the butter is melted, add about 1/3 cup pasta water to the pan.
Using tongs, add the pasta straight from the water it was cooked in to the pan. Add in the cheese sauce from earlier and combine. Season with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Add more pasta water if the pasta looks dry.
Remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine and season to taste. Serve with fresh parsley and more cheese.

Just 4 ingredients to make the addicting sauce for this Honey Lime Shrimp! 💚 You can use this sauce/marinade for chicken, tofu, or any other fish too. It’s a typical Brocc style meal: healthy, easy, quick and doesn’t dirty a whole lot of dishes 👏🏼 Enjoy it! You’ll seriously be obsessed with this sauce I’m telling ya!!!

Ingredients:
1/2 lb shrimp
2 limes
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
Avocado or olive oil
Fresh cilantro to garnish
Brown rice to serve (I love the frozen packs from @traderjoes)
Stir Fry Veggies:
1/2 white onion, sliced
2 small zucchini, cut into matchsticks
1 bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
Avocado or olive oil
Salt & pepper
Instructions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade. Add the shrimp and refrigerate for 30 min to 2 hours.
Drizzle oil on the pan then pour in the shrimp with the marinade/sauce. Cook for about 2 min on each side or until shrimp is cooked through.
Place the shrimp aside and on the same pan add a drizzle of oil and then your veggies. Sauté until they are charred and soft. Season to taste.
Serve with brown rice and be sure to spoon the sauce on top of the shrimp. I added fresh cilantro on top and a squeeze of lime as well! Makes 2 servings.

If you’re not sure what to bring to your next su

If you’re not sure what to bring to your next summer BBQ, I got you covered with these Key Lime Pie Bars 👌🏼💚 Since 100% of the potlucks I’ve ever been to have someone with a gluten allergy in attendance, I made these gluten and grain free to make sure everyone can enjoy 😉 I always have @bobsredmill products handy so I can whip up a healthy dessert with what I have in my pantry already. Their flours and baking mixes are always a staple in my kitchen. Make sure you stock up on their website for your next backyard BBQ! #ad #BobsBackyardBBQ
.
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 cup @bobsredmill almond flour
2 tbsp @bobsredmill coconut flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 egg
Pinch of salt
Filling:
6 limes, juiced + zest from 1
5 eggs, 4 whole and 1 just the yolk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut flour
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients for the crust until dough is formed. Press into the baking dish and bake for 14 minutes.
Combine all ingredients for the filling except the coconut flour. Once everything is combined, sift the coconut flour slowly into the mixture while whisking together.
Pour over the crust once it’s finished baking and bake for an additional 20 minutes. The filling should be set, but still a little jiggly.
Let it cool for 15 minutes then refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle some powder sugar on top and serve with fresh lime! Makes 8 bars. They will turn out yellow (not green) because of the egg! Recipe inspo: @beachsidekitchen 🤍

The most delicious, simple meal that requires very

The most delicious, simple meal that requires very minimal effort, much needed after a loooong beach day 🥱 This Zesty Yogurt Chicken + Roasted Zucchini just uses one sheet pan and comes together in less than 30 minutes. Plus there’s leftovers for the week 👏🏼 Doesn’t get much better than that…
.
Zesty Yogurt Chicken
2 lbs chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
Juice from 1 lemon
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Kosher salt & pepper
1-2 tsp hot sauce optional
Parsley to garnish (optional)
Roasted Zucchini:
2 zucchini
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt & pepper
Grated Parmesan to top (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with olive or avocado oil.
If you have thick chicken breasts, cut them longways into thinner pieces. This makes them cook quicker and more evenly.
Toss your chicken in the ingredients listed above. Cut your zucchini into rounds and season. Arrange the chicken and zucchini on your sheet pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Top zucchini with parmesan and chicken with parsley. Serves 4!
