Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema
My friend, Lisa discovered this recipe from Cooking Light, 2006. My family loves it. I buy the frozen bag of Tilapia at Wal-Mart. I double the crema recipe, as we like more sauce.

Ooey-Gooey S’more Brownies

My Favorite Salad Dressing
This is from a cookbook called Simply Classic. I've made this salad dressing maybe more than anything else I've ever made. I don't get to crazy with measuring, but the secret ingredient is the maple syrup. I toss it with bagged lettuce, then top each salad usually with a fruit (dried cranberries or other fruit,… Continue reading My Favorite Salad Dressing

Asian Chicken Salad
We swap recipes back and forth frequently, but this one came from Kendra. I make it more than anything else and it the most requested recipe I have on file.
