After work today I arrived home to an energetic pup! Sadie always greets me enthusiastically and immediately fetches me a toy that she carries around with her for a good five minutes after we arrive home, and today was no different.
Since Ryan had to stay at work a little later than usual, Sadie and I wasted time by playing fetch in the backyard until he arrived home and we could go for our evening walk.
Sadie has yet to master the art of “drop it.” She will drop the ball when you tell her to, but it’s always a good five feet from where you want it.
She’s a peach! 
Once Ryan arrived home, the three of us when on a walk around the lake near our apartment. We discussed this upcoming weekend and decided that this week must pass quickly. Our friends Dru and Carrie are getting married on Saturday and we can’t wait to celebrate with them!
Dinner
Eventually we made it home and were ready for dinner. We were both feeling quite lazy and didn’t feel like putting a ton of effort into our evening meal.
Fish tacos fit the bill perfectly! They’re tasty but not too in depth.
To prepare the fish, I sprayed a baking sheet lined with foil with cooking spray before placing the fish (I used trout) on top, spraying it with cooking spray and rubbing it with reduced sodium taco seasoning.
Once it was all dressed up, I baked it a 400 degrees for about 15 minutes until the fish flaked with a fork.
After dividing the fish among several tortillas and topping it with lettuce and shredded cheese, our tacos were ready!
This whole meal came together in less than 20 minutes and totally satisfied both of us.
Off to hang with my little family. Enjoy your night, friends!
that looks simply enough for me! I’ll have to try

Hey Julie! I bought a Vita-Mix after visiting a local health shop where they offered a smoothie called the Honey Bee — basically, it’s frozen bananas, almond milk, golden flax, and honey. I’ve made many concoctions in my Vita-Mix, but that one is definitely my favorite.
Carly Stewart
Oooh that sounds fantastic!
peanutbutterfingers
I am going to make that for breakfast tomorrow!
Laura @ prettylittlewords
And a tiny sliver of ginger — almost forgot the best part! It really gives that smoothie some punch, and I’m not normally a big ginger fan. Hope you like it!
Carly Stewart
Easy peasy!
Love meals like that! Enjoy your evening!
Katy (The Singing Runner)
I love fish tacos — so easy to throw together and they taste great too!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete
Wow. Really? Fish tacos are that easy? Wow.
Christine @ Merf In Progress
I have never made fish tacos with anything other than a white fish. Will have to try this next! Have a good night!
Kelly
I had my first fish tacos last week and they were good! They were made with tilapia and it was just light enough that I was able to enjoy it.
What a cute pup
Alaina
Sadie is such a gorgeous dog – what breed is she?
Katie
She’s a vizsla!

Your dinner looks better than the cereal I had for dinner! Trying to use up the milk before vacation
Amy at TheSceneFromMe
Those look delicious! I have been a bottomless pit tonight & I feel like I could go for a couple of those NOW!
Melissa
Love the fish tacos! So easy and fast. Great work Julie!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)
I must make this! With Lent in full force and not eating meat on Friday’s I love creative fish recipes! Thanks for sharing:)!
Angela
My pup Charlie has yet to master “drop it” either – we call it “release” though. he’ll do it with some toys, but not others. And if we’re in the yeard, forget it. He just runs away!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey
great idea! you always remind me that a great, healthy meal doesn’t have to be laborious!
Emma (Namaste Everyday)
I tried to do a fast meal tonight too, but it didnt go as well as yours!!! Thanks to the boyfriend hahah. These look great!
Tara @The Game of Life
I had fish tacos for dinner too! I used this recipe last week and we fell in love. It was so simple and quick and SO delicious. My husband and I both managed to be busy until 9pm, so it fit the bill perfectly to quickly get dinner in our bellies!
Maddie
Wishes the hubby ate fish. Oh well, guess I’ll have to make those for myself when he’s not around.
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat)
Love the easy dinner
All dinners should be so good and easy to make! Enjoy your night!
Emily
I’ve never had fish tacos, but you make it look pretty easy! I’ll have to give them a try.
Friends’ wedding are so much fun… we have a few this summer and we’re already getting anxious!
Katy @ A Healthy Shot
i love fish tacos! YUM!
Sarah @ The Pajama Chef

Heather (Heather’s Dish)
Oooh these DO look super easy!
Friends’ weddings are SO much fun!!! Enjoy!
Sable @ Squat Like a Lady

have a good night!
candice
My dog never lets go of the ball either! I always end up with the grossest drooled up hands when we play…
Runeatrepeat
Oooooooh those fish tacos look so tasty! What a great idea. You should mix some hot sauce with fat free Greek yogurt for a spicy, healthier “sour cream.” It really kicks it up a notch!
Laura @ prettylittlewords
love that idea! thanks, laura!
peanutbutterfingers
Those tacos are making me crave mexican!
Sadie is soooo cute! I love seeing pictures of her!
Gen
Mmm, I love fish tacos!
Nicole
I always love your pictures of Sadie. I can tell she’s a doll… warms up my heart with every photo. <3
Shana
Sadie’s spunky personality really shines through in the pics! Why didnnt I think of putting taco seasoning on fish tacos? Duh! I always have to try and make things more complicated than they need to be. Thanks for sharing! They look tasty!
Melissa
wow!! that looks so fresh and tasty!! and im surprised it only took 20 min!
Carrie
that last picture of sadie is hilarious. she looks so goofy, and it makes her paws look too big for her body/legs, but it’s just perfect! mila hasn’t mastered “fetch”…although she does enjoy playing the game solo. she’ll run to the top of the steps, drop her kong and watch it bounce crazily to the bottom, then fly down the steps after it, grab it, go back to the top, and do it all over again. a-mazing.
Annie
hahha this literally made me laugh out loud. your dog is a riot!
peanutbutterfingers
I love tacos! They are such a quick and easy option when you don’t really feel like making dinner. Yours look great!
Hope
Hey Julie… I’m cracking up at your first paragraph about Sadie because that is EXACTLY what my yellow lab Sydney does when I get home….. finds a toy (usually her stuffed otter or monkey) and enthusiastically trots around with it for a good 5 minutes while I pretend to be really excited for her and repeatedly ask her, “Whatcha got? You got da monkey?!” like a complete idiot.
I wish we lived in Orlando so Sadie and Sydney could meet at the Baldwin Park dog park… they would get along so well.. haha!
Liza
haha, from the sound of it, i think they’d be beeeest friends.
peanutbutterfingers
I love eating fish out but i am always so scared to cook it at home myself. I dont know why. This recipe makes me feel confident to do it myself. I will be trying this soon.
Stacey
Hi Julie! I found your blog this weekend and I love it! I am enjoying a mocha Green Monster for breakfast this morning thanks to your recipe! Keep up the great work!
Suz
so glad you found me!!! i’m so glad you’re liking the mocha green monster. they’re one of my favs!
peanutbutterfingers
Sadie looks SO happy in these pictures!!!!! And yes, drop it is a command that we’re consistently working on, too! Your upcoming weekend sounds like a BLAST!
Allison @ Happy Tales
What an awesome, easy to make dinner! I am definitely going to have to add this to my weeknight meal line up.
By the way, my puggle Maximus does the same exact thing when we come home, running in circles around the apartment with his favorite chewy in his mouth!
