Those look like great recipes -- maybe I'll try that salmon for dinner tonight. And then the fruit tacos -- do you think using olive oil instead of butter would work? Is butter just for taste or is part of the texture thing too?
I am going to try the fruit tacos with dinner tonight because they look yummy and fun! I plan to cook some mahi mahi and I know the kids will run far and fast from fish. Maybe seeing the enjoyable taco will entice them to stay!
I would use the butter. I've cut back on the butter when I've made them and made up the difference with extra milk. I think the olive oil would give them a strange taste. The taco shells remind me of the flavor of churros.
Yummy recipes. I will definitely try them out.
Mmm ... Those fruit tacos sound delicious! We are going to have to try those soon.
