Basa Fish Tacos w/ Red Cabbage Slaw


this summer i promised the kids that we would have a weekly cooking class.  we would tackle things like the basics, muffins, different methods for cooking eggs, they mostly requested cookies, cakes, and pies though. #kids

i decided that for our first lesson we would tackle one of our favourite things to eat.  fish tacos!
we learn, we devour, it's a win-win. plus it's tuesday and on tuesdays you eat tacos.


they did amazing.
 we learned all about the importance of flavouring fish with salty, sweet and smoky components.
we learned about creating texture with a dish by incorporating a healthy red cabbage slaw with a little bit of hit from sriracha, a little bit of sweet from some honey, and a whole lot of thick creamy greek yogurt.


lesson 1 - huge success.
lesson 2 - will likely be cookies.

cheers.xo.
