Fish Tacos....It's What's for Dinner!

I enjoy making dinner for my family. I'm not a big breakfast person but my husband does all of that- especially on the weekends.
However, when it comes to dinner, I love trying out different kinds of foods and find it fun trying something new.

Last week, I shared a stuffed pepper recipe and this week I am sharing a fish taco recipe.



I made these when we had a guest visit us and it was a hit!

Here is the quick recipe I found in a magazine called Family Circle. You made have heard of them?! I have a year subscription to them thanks to my mom. :)






Delicious!!
The red cabbage is definitely worth getting when making this recipe. I almost skipped it, but am glad I didn't.

Do you like cooking family meals?

Have a great Labor Day!!!!

Friday's Crush #7

If you know me or have been reading my blog for a while, it should come as no surprise that I am a fan of navy. I've posted about how I have painted the armchairs in our family room and I even try to add pops of blue around our home. It helps keep things more cohesive I think.

Today's crush is all about navy- specifically two dresses that I found online and wish I owned myself.

 

I LOVE, love, LoVe the rope belt on this navy dress. It's very sophisticated and beachy at the same time.

 

I have a dress very similar to the one above. However, my dress isn't as clean and navy as this one either. The ruffles and the tied bow at the waist is so adorable. I would probably wear this all the time if I had it. When I looked at the website that carried it, I found that it comes in 4 other colors besides navy. And the price is pretty reasonable too.
I may just have to purchase one. ;)


These two are my crushes for today's post. What do you think?
I hope you all have a great weekend!

Adding Some Color to a Coffee Filter Wreath

I love simple DIY projects because they are quick and easily transform any space.
The project I completed is no different.




I added a coffee filter wreath to our dining room a little bit ago and while it turned out to be a quick and beautiful project, there was something missing....

What was missing you ask? ;)
Some color!!


We had a plain white coffee filter wreath before and I went out and bought 2 bouquets of hydrangeas at JoAnn's with a coupon and added it to our wreath.
I placed the other flowers in different parts of our home because there were enough to be able to do that so I will post more on that later.
 


Isn't it lovely?

I don't know why I didn't think of doing it before either.
It was one of those "non-planned" purchases while I was just browsing JoAnn's one day with my oldest daughter and once I saw them I knew I wanted to buy a few.

Love, love, LOVE it!

Flowers add so much warmth and pretty to a home, don't you think?
