Thai Tuna Taco

Hey Guys!

Here are some pix of our "Gilligan's Island weekend" enjoying this gorgeous Florida weather {bragging rights..}.  Yep that's me "Mary Ann with my honey Gilligan", he's the tall eye candy with the black ballcap on.  We are with our good friends Mark & Debbie {aka- Skipper & Ginger}.  Can I tell you what a great day it is when we hope on the boat, go 2 minutes down the waterway on the Sebastian River.  We pirate a uninhabited Island, anchor about knee high from the shore line bring in chairs, little tables, drinks and snacks...and that's the way we spend the day.  AWESOME.. it is paradise.  We are so lucky.

After a great weekend it's back to the grind stone. I'm always whipping up some quick dinner ideas for FAST FOOD HAZZARD STYLE MEALS.  Here's one of our favorites,a really quick easy healthy dinner idea.  Personally, I fall back on this kind of recipe pretty often!  Especially late office nights, or just nights I want to go really healthy and easy.  Ya see -"really healthy"often happens for me  after a sinful foodie day and I just need to reign it in a bit, or possibly a few days of my jeans  feeling a little less comfortable then usual.  Seriously, I do keep it healthy most of the time just because it makes you feel better, look better and  should keep you walking on this earth  just a little longer!  Now, it's not to say I won't be hitting the freezer looking for ice cream later in the evening...LOL

P.S. Do notice the "optional desert" I've posted of gorgeous juicy peaches, raspberries and blackberries, they were just out of this world!! BUT funny thing, the chocolate ganache cupcakes and mini creme filled puffs flew off the counter top at our party...and the fresh fruit just sat there waiting and waiting and waiting to disappear! GO FIGURE.

Have a great week everyone!
