Fish Tacos

This is very good, I have used in place of the chili powder a spicy  Mrs. Dash no salt seasoning which was also very good.

This is a featured recipe taken from The Biggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start by Cheryl Forberg, RD.
Season 1 contestant Gary Deckman loved these fish tacos. In his own words: "Oh boy, are these good!"
Fish:
1 pound orange roughy or other boneless, skinless fish fillet, such as red snapper
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Tacos:
8 whole grain high-fiber tortillas or stone-ground corn tortillas
1/2 avocado, diced and lightly mashed
1/3 cup shredded low-fat Mexican or pepper Jack cheese
1/2 cup tomato salsa
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage
Hot sauce (optional)
To make the fish: Place the fish in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with the lime juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if desired). Cover, refrigerate, and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or preheat the oven to 375°F).
Lightly coat a 24" x 12" piece of foil with olive oil cooking spray. Place the fish in a single layer in the center of the foil. Fold the foil over and fold the ends upward to seal in the fish. Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque. Remove from the grill.
To assemble the tacos: Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them on the grill to warm for 2 minutes. Spread about one-eighth of the mashed avocado on each tortilla and top with one-eighth of the fish. Sprinkle each with cheese, salsa, cilantro, cabbage, and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with glasses of ice water garnished with a slice of orange and a sprig of fresh mint.

4th of July 2013 Lunch

Lunch today was really delicious. There was ribs, deviled eggs, traditional potato salad and macaroni salad and Bushes Maple flavored Baked Beans. I am one of those that like deli style macaroni salad, nice and creamy, found a recipe which I would like to  share.
Deli Style Macaroni Salad you can also find it  here.

The ribs I feel are also a plus found this recipe many years ago from a web search, not sure if it is still out there or where it is to give credit. If you come across it let me know the web address so this I can give credit to that site.  BBQ Ribs and Sauce sorry I do not have a pic of them should have snapped a shot will have to do this the next time I make them. Although setting up a pleasing setting for the pic is not at all my specialty.

I am afraid the potato salad I have no recipe for, russet potatoes, hard boiled eggs (chopped), sweet relish, mayo, mustard, Tabasco sauce, chopped celery, chopped red onion and pepper. I do not use salt and haven't for the last 30 + years so feel free to add it.
