Petite Minou and Tacos

Zach and I just rescued a kitty, we named her Petite Minou. You can call her Minou for short. Petite Minou means "Small Kitty" in French, which we thought fit her perfectly.


Our friends and family have been wanting to come over and meet Minou - I think she loves the attention. We had our first group of guests over the other night to meet her and have dinner. The kitty cat in me was craving some fish tacos, so I decided that's what I'd make. If your confused about me making fish, please read this post to understand my take on it. The fish was delicious, but you'll notice that it is pretty much used as a garnish for our meal.




I used coconut milk and curry powder to marinate the fish in; this gave the fish an exotic creamy taste with a kick of spice. I steamed up curly kale leaves which I used to line our tortillas with before laying the fish on top. I use these Organic Sprouted Grain Corn Tortillas, they are my favorite. For each taco, there was only about 1 tablespoon of cooked fish and loads of veggies. I topped the tacos with a healthy scoop of fresh Kiwi Mango Slaw.




I quickly whipped up some Dirty Rice and Beans to serve along with the tacos - I made this up on the spot using leftover brown rice and black beans.


After we all had dinner, we all enjoyed being entertained by our sweet Minou.
