simple

After a particularly looooong day, I drove up to find husBen and Quimby sitting on our front stoop waiting for me to get home. Despite all the loud rap I had listened to on the way home, despite my desire to run straight to the treadmill still wearing my scrubs and clogs, despite the stress conceiving a headache behind my right eye, I felt completely taken care of in that moment. I felt that life was simpler than my tightly wound mind had perceived it to be. I felt calmed and reminded of how lucky I am. These boys are my simple joys through a complexity of love I cannot even begin to understand, and I only hope that time eventually affords me as many opportunities to be a stronghold to them in return.

Simple Fish Tacos

Tilapia fillets + seasoning (I chose comino seeds (cumin), Tony’s (because that is what I grew up on), and garlic salt.

Sliced avocado

Tortillas

Mango salsa + tablespoon of whatever jam you have on hand

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil and on it place fish fillets, turning to coat. Season with spices of your choosing. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Mix mango pico de gallo with jam (adds a great depth of sweetness!).

Build taco with fish, mango salsa, sliced avocado.

Simple, as life should be. Enjoy.
