This afternoon, the rain cleared in Orlando, leaving blue skies and slightly chilly air for us to enjoy on our evening walk with Sadie.
This is how Sadie waits for red lights…
And then we sprint across the street like crazies, flailing our arms, Phoebe Buffay style!
Our walk took us around a lake near our apartment and home within 40 minutes. Since the weather was so nice outside, we decided to kick back a bit and relax on someone’s swing on our way home…
Totally kidding. What is that? A swing for ants? 😉
By the time we made it home, our tummies were grumbling. Dinner time!
Dinner
For dinner this evening, we enjoyed fish tacos.
I made the fish tacos by cooking tilapia on the stovetop and seasoning the fish with half a packet of reduced-sodium taco seasoning.
After topping some hard shell tacos with the fish, lettuce and tomato, dinner was ready!
These babies were good. I went back for seconds and really wish there were leftovers for a big taco salad for tomorrow’s lunch. Oh well!
If you love tacos but aren’t a big fan of fish, you might enjoy my recipe for slow cooker chicken tacos. It’s super easy and might be more up your alley.
Off to chill with the husband and pup for the rest of the night. See ya tomorrow… FRIDAY!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says

Fish tacos are always so good but I have never made my own. I like it!
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
Thank you for referencing Friends. I might just like you even more for that reason! Enjoy your night, Julie! 🙂
Allison@ Happy Tales says
Haaaa love both of your tv/movie quotes here. That episode on Friends ALWAYS makes me laugh. But i love pretty much just about every episode of Friends. And zoolander=amazeballs. “MerrrMAN!”
Glad the weather cleared up… same thing happened here in CLT! Super rainy then cleared up beautifully 🙂
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) says
I bet the swing is for birds?! How cute!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I just pictures you two parking yourself on that itty bitty swings and laughing away..then the owner of the house coming out and wondering what the heck you were doing. 😛
Lauren @ Hungry Child in the City says
Um…you referenced Zoolander AND Friends!!!! Two of my faves. Not to mention those tacos look delish! I love fish tacos and I’m definitely going to try your recipe.
Jenn from Much to My Delight says
Fish tacos are the jam. I love topping mine with chopped red cabbage and carrots and chipotle sour cream. I love how simple your recipe is; I’d never thought to use taco seasoning. Good idea, girl!
Cara @ Chic Meets Healthy says
mmm i love fish tacos! i am making tilapia cakes tonight for dinner… cant wait!
Lindz @ Happy or Hungry? says
haha, a swing for ants. I love Zoolander.
A recipe for fish tacos actually popped into my Inbox today via AllRecipes Healthy Bites and I almost made it for dinner! I have actually never tried fish tacos before, but I think I really need to… They look so delicious!

A Friends reference AND a Zoolander reference? Well, tickle me pink! 😀

gwen says

Chelsea J says
I love fish tacos…however, that is the nickname I have given my husbands old girlfriend from long ago, therefore fish tacos in my house are eaten with laughter the entire time! Maybe we need some fish tacos over at our house this week.
Alexa @ SimpleEats says
I’ve never had fish tacos and I would love to try these!

How is giving up sweets? Have you lost any weight? Is your stomach flatter?
peanutbutterfingers says
I haven’t noticed any physical changes at all… but it has also only been two days. 🙂
Marina says
I made fish tacos only once, and it was messy, but so delicious!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Oh, yum!!! Those tilapia tacos look amazing!
Tracy says
OK I’m putting these on my dinner list for next week! YUM!
Hope says
What a yummy dinner! I love tacos! I’m not a big fan of fish so I’d rather have chicken tacos but they look so good! 🙂
Meg Mac says
I love tilapia! You should try Swai… it’s not bad. It doesn’t have a strong fish taste. I actually think its less fishy than tilapia.
Parita @ myinnershakti says
I love “make your own tacos, burritos, tostadas, etc.” So fun!
Amanda says
oh tilapia tacos are so so amazing!
your recipe is superb! i have been making tilapia tacos for so long and just wanted to share a new way of making it if you ever want to try it out!
so also cooking the tilapia stove top i always use very light lemon and herb (dash seasoning, no salt!)
i either use corn tortillas (the best) and sometimes whole wheat soft tacos… and load it with black beans, pico de gallo, and you can make this cilantro sauce… it is SO sooo good girl hopefully you’ll try it out one day 🙂
love your blog btw you are such a great writer/inspiration!
Amanda says
and forgot to add but i use a cole slaw as a topping (obviously without the sauce lol) so so yummy ! 🙂
Ali @ Ali Runs says
I LOVE that episode of Friends! When I first watched it I died laughing. 🙂 So glad you enjoyed your walk! I’m jealous of that beautiful Florida weather!
