The spirit within and fish tacos

I was waiting at the bank yesterday and noticed a stack of magazines marked free.  So, I picked one up and decided to take it home.  It was the Grand Rapids Women's LifeStyle.  I've seen this magazine before and have enjoyed it so I thought, why not?  Inside an article caught my eye: Want to eat Healthier?  My spirit within was screaming, 'YES! YES! TELL ME MORE!' So, needless to say, I read it.  It had four bullet points: 1. Slow down, 2. Avoid processed foods, 3. Avoid sugar in drinks and 4. Focus on adding healthy foods to your diet.  As I was reading, it was like the "mecca" reinforcing everything I had started this new year.  Yes, I do allow a treat every now again, but they are becoming less and less.  (i have found that when you change your lifestyle and changing eating habits its hard.  But it will do good things for our health!)  I also read somewhere that if your allow a treat (sensibly) every 3/4 days, you won't crave then binge on the sweets.  So, my spirit within has been satisfied with some guidelines in my quest for simplifying and being more healthy.  Now, on to fish tacos! :-)

This is what we had for dinner last night.  It was sooo good, I thought that I'd share.
