Training Run and Fish Tacos

Yesterday morning my sister, Kristina, and I woke up early and got ready to head out for our last long training run before her first half marathon on the October 23 in Newburyport. Running near her house is very hilly so we had no choice but to conquer some long hills. We left early enough to beat the summer heat we encountered here in Boston over the weekend. She did awesome and we completed the 13.1 mile run in 2:08 which was a 9:48 pace. We were both happy with this especially since Kristina was at a wedding the night before and had a crazy busy weekend.

After we showered and had a quick breakfast Kristina, my mom and Abigail took me to meet Joe at Whole Foods where he was doing our food shopping for the week. He bought some tilapia from the fish market so last night I made fish tacos. Before cooking the fish I preheated the oven at 350 so i could heat up the wheat tortilla shell. I cooked the fish in a nonstick pan with some lime juice and I seasoned the fish with Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning. I cooked the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side once the pan was hot. While the fish was cooking I cut up some fresh avocado and pulled some chopped onion out of the fridge.

Once the fish was cooked I assembled the tacos which were delicious and filling. I could only eat one and wished I had room for more since they were that good.

WIAW Mexican Edition

Welcome to another week of WIAW inspired by Jenn at Peas and Crayons. This week I decided to focus on one delicious meal I had out to eat this week.

My mom's birthday is tomorrow so we decided to celebrate on Sunday night at a new Mexican restaurant on the waterfront, Temazcal Tequila Cantina. We sat down at a table overlooking the boardwalk and water which was beautiful. We looked over the menu (which was on an iPad) while we ordered some drinks.

The meal started with some festive drinks and chips and dips. They gave you three different dips, one spicy, one sweet and one bean dip, which were all very delicious.

After we snacked on those for a little we ordered the Guacamole Langosta, which was a delicious guacamole dip with chunks of lobster mixed in, can you say delicious! 

Lobster Guacamole, does it get any better?

After we digested the chips, dip and guacamole we moved on the main course. I ordered the beer battered fish tacos, which were absolutely delicious. I usually don't like to order fried items but I just love trying fish tacos everywhere I go. My sister went with the Mahi Mahi, my mom ordered the grilled chicken with avocados, tomatoes, onion and salsa, and all three of the guys ordered the enchiladas verde.

For dessert we headed back to my house for ice cream cake which I made. It is the best dessert and super easy. You take an oreo pie crust then fill it with softened ice cream (moose tracks is the flavor my mo wanted) then top it with cool whip and any topping you wish. Since I did moose tracks ice cream I kept with the peanut butter flavor and topped the pie with peanut butter chip morsels.
