Cooking Ourselves Thin

New cookbook for Lifetime! Cook Yourself Thin

We're excited because the mentality behind the book is eat what you want- just make clever substitutions to reduce or emlinate the fat and calories!

We made Shrimp Tacos the other night!




Recipe can be found here.

Although, I didn't make the mango salsa, and used a rum/bourbon combo instead of tequila. (It was just as good- the rum was for flavor and the bourbon was to get a stronger "flambe"). My daring husband dealt with the fire & alcohol portion of this recipe. :)

I also sort of had to wing it on the black beans. If you don't have all the ingredients for this one, just wing it! Mexican spices you can go wrong with: red pepper, cumin, and cinnamon (maybe a dash of nutmeg too). Add these to just about anything (taste as you go so you don't add too much) and it'll probably taste like Mexican food.

**Warning: Be careful when adding lime juice!! I hear it increases the heat of peppers!! :) **
