Hello, hello and welcome to Friday Faves, May edition.
This week I made a preview meal of next Monday’s Cinco de Mayo — my husband’s favorite blackened fish tacos. I pulled my wild Alaskan pollack from the freezer (I’ve really enjoyed this wild fish delivery box), dusted it with blackening spices and cooked it in mere minutes. I topped the tacos with Mexican coleslaw (I made it with broccoli slaw) and served my cilantro lime rice and refried beans on the side. Perfection on a plate — and healthy too!
Did you know 90% of schools in England have banned cell phones? Here’s where schools in the U.S. stand on bans. What do you think?
You’ll want this cookbook if you’re a fan of Mediterranean cooking (like me). It’s full of favorite basics with plenty of recipes with twists, too. I’m excited to start cooking from it. (and it’s 40% off.)
Calling all ice cream lovers … Check out this soft serve ice cream maker that blends froyo, milkshakes, and more. Or, check out this less spendy ice cream maker if you’re okay with scooping yourself. (and if you’re a Costco member, it’s $20 cheaper!)
This salad is a splurge, but what a reason to splurge! And well worth it IMO! It looks fabulous!
Looking for a salad with ALL the flavors and colors? Here it is.
If you love an extra, extra chewy brownie, this is a recipe you MUST try. They look so damn good!

I am such a fan of crispy chicken breasts and this crispy chick with dill is one I am fan-girling over.
I’ll be sharing my favorite turkey burger soon, but until then, this flavor-bombed turkey burger will be taking up space in my brain.
So many flavors and colors in this crunchy salad.

Thin lemon cookies. Say no more. Just make.
I’m going to Hawaii in July with my college besties, and I can’t wait for them to try this iconic Hawaiian comfort food while we’re there. It’s my husband’s favorite.
And, they HAVE to try this classic sweet and savory Hawaiian chicken dish.
A big old skillet is all you need to make this 30-minute Mexican meal and eat it by the spoonful.
It’s time to make a batch of my homemade pickles, but I won’t be processing them to save for later. Instead, I’ll just refrigerate them so they’ll stay good for a month or two. That’s why I’m going to make them in this giant mason jar, so it’s one big jar instead of a couple taking up room in the fridge.
My summer uniform will be my favorite tank top (it’s cheap, lasts forever, and comes in every color) paired with skirts, and this cotton skirt with side ruching is so good. Enter FRIEND at checkout and get 30% off.
And because I will be wearing the tanks non-stop, I’d better get on this arm workout and lose the flab! No equipment needed! Except for willpower. UGH.
