When the weather gets hot, my life gets busy, or a combination of the two is going on, it becomes very easy to get tempted to swing by a drive thru on my way home from work. But not only is that hard on the pocket book, it's also not so good for a healthy lifestyle. That's why quick and easy meals that pack a punch of flavor are so important to me.
Like today's amazingly easy and delicious recipe for Foil packet Ancho Fish Tacos with Pineapple Slaw - a recipe that can literally be put together in about 15 minutes, start to finish.
It's low fat, low carb, high protein, nutrient rich goodness at it's best and is the perfect dinner for hot weather cooking or even camping as the fish goes into a tinfoil packet and is grilled.
I hope you'll try this recipe and if you're interested in watching how it all comes together or learning some interesting tid bits about pineapple, watch the video that accompanies the recipe!
