So simple, but so good

When 2012 began, I made an endless list of New Year's resolutions {as I always do} and promised myself that this year would be different. By April, I have not quite tackled all of the items on my to-do list, but this year has been unlike those past for two main reasons: small steps & simplicity. As someone who has proclaimed herself a "foodie," I thought it was about time to revisit my kitchen. I claimed to enjoy cooking, yet I was spending so little time doing it. I decided to re-fresh and re-focus. After all, one of the best parts of my day is sitting down to share a meal with the one(s) I love.

Even when life's distractions steal my attention, I make sure that I have quick and simple recipes on hand. Here is one that I want to share with you~one that made my re-introduction to the kitchen an easy one: tilapia fish tacos {made easier by Trader Joe's}

I should probably first mention that this is not really a recipe, but a list of ingredients that simply requires assembly.

Panko crusted tilapia {here is where Trader Joe's comes in}
Pita bread {we use large thin pitas}
Arugula
Red onion
Avocado
Sriracha {the most often used condiment in our refrigerator}
Cilantro
Lime juice

I typically serve these tacos with a side of rice or a salad of julienned apples, carrots, and radish. Some days {especially those late nights at work}, this dinner is exactly what my stomach craves. Hope you savor it, too!
