Tasty Tuesday: Agave and Cinnamon Bananas

Hey guys! It's Tuesday and time for me to share another yummy recipe with you. Today we are making delicious little Agave and Cinnamon Bananas. You might have seen a variation of this recipe on Pinterest. Most of them call for honey though and I like agave better so that's what I used.

What you'll need:

• Cinnamon
• Coconut oil
• Agave
• Bananas

 1. Get out a frying pan and put a few spoonfuls of coconut oil in the bottom over medium heat. If you have the spray just nicely coat the bottom.

2. Slice up the bananas about a quarter of an inch thick. This is just an estimation though. It's not like I had my ruler out measuring those babies.

This is 2 bananas worth. 

3. While those are frying up combine 2 tablespoons of agave with 1 tablespoon of water.

4. After about 3-5 minutes the bananas will start to get toasty looking. That's when you want to flip them all over.

5. Once you get them all flipped over pour the agave water combo over the top. This is when the magic happens. 

6. Sprinkle with cinnamon. (Side note: Do you know how good cinnamon is for you? It has anti-clotting actions, anti-microbial actions, helps with blood sugar control, boosts brain function, improves colon health, and protects against heart disease. Seriously. So sprinkle on that cinnamon. Sprinkle it on real good.) source

6. Now you wait until all of the agave and water bubbles away. Check the bananas often to make sure you aren't burning any. If they start to get too brown you can take them out while the rest finish up.

7. Then you're finished! Transfer to a plate and let them cool. You can eat them plain, on ice cream or on yogurt! Yum, yum, yum!!

Please ignore that one on the left side that looks a little burnt. He got away from me...

Try these little tasties out and let me know how you guys like them!!

P.S. How funny is this picture of Doodle... 

... he seriously just sat there with his front legs on the ground for about 20 minutes. 

Also, I tried to lighten this picture up so you could see his eyes but it didn't really help. He's just too dark. Oh well. But trust me...he's cute. 

Tasty Tuesday: Fish Tacos

As promised in my last post I am here to share with you the amazing fish tacos recipe. Seriously it's so good. If you like fish tacos at all please try it and then get back to me about how right I was and how you can't believe you've been living life so far without this recipe.

Also I am going to try to start posting a Tasty recipe that I have tried and love each week on Tuesday! So look forward to that! Ok, here we go.

What you'll need for the fish:

• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 white fish filets (So far I've tried it with Swai and Mahi Mahi and both were amazing. I'm sure tilapia would work well too.)

So combine all of this together in a little bowl and then pour it on to the fish filets in a big dish or pyrex. Move them all around in the juice until they all look evenly coated. Then cover it and put it in the fridge while we make the yummy sauce.

What you'll need for the yummy sauce:

• 1 large avocado
• 1/4 c plain greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 c roughly cut cilantro (I washed mine and then cut it straight into a measuring cup with my big kitchen scissors.) 
• 1 jalapeño (You could do more or less of this depending on how spicy you like things.)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 c water

Put all of this in a food processor or blender and process it until it is smooth and creamy and the jalapeño and cilantro are just little specs. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and put in the fridge to chill while you cook the fish!

I used my best non stick pan and cooked the fish on medium heat. I flipped them over once after about 4-5 minutes. Once the fish it flakey and cooked through I cut the fish into fourths so it would be easier to serve.

Other things you'll need:

• warmed tortillas (I used the little flour ones and that was my favorite but Justin liked corn better. 
• broccoli/cabbage slaw
• lime wedges
• diced tomato
• shredded cheese

And any other type of taco garnish you would like.

Assemble your tacos and you're done!

This has become a favorite in this home and it is so easy to do!

Try it out and let me know what you think!

P.S. Sorry there are no pictures! I wasn't planning on posting today but it's Tuesday and I had gotten a couple of request for the recipe so here it is without pictures! The next time I make it (probably next week) I'll take pictures and come back and add them! 

P.P.S. Did you notice my blog's facelift? What do you think?!
