Fried Food

When in doubt, fry it! Fried food is a delicious way to cook something ordinary and make it delicious! Crispy and crunchy, what more could you ask for? Many are against fried food because they are usually fried in oil and fats. That fat has the tendency to stay in the batter when you eat it. Yes, fried food can be unhealthy but everything in moderation right? I love to eat fried fish, funnel cake, hush-puppies, fried chicken, tempura, fried cake doughnuts, french fries, and even a fried corn dog with mustard. Of course, not over indulging in this way of cooking.

Beer Battered Fish Tacos with a Spicy Cilantro Cream Sauce

With the exception of Restaurant Month last month I have been a little MIA. Not just from this blog but from the kitchen too. Once I stopped putting up recipes regularly it became a lot more difficult to even do so once in a while. I was in a funk and I am thinking I may be out of it…maybe. We just moved into a little cute apartment, closer to the water and closer to town. When I say ‘little cute’ I actually mean ‘super small, help! I can’t move around in the kitchen’ apartment. Alas! Life goes on and I gotta start cooking again sometime. Fish Tacos was the way to go and get up out of my dry cooking spell. I love fish tacos and when we lived in Mexico DH and I really got addicted to fish tacos at a little joint in our town. The fish was fresh and served in warm flour tortillas. We used to go there for lunch at least twice a week but since we moved to Costa Rica we haven’t had fish tacos at all. I think this recipe may become a regular weekly thing for us now.

Delicious Rating: Fish Tacos have never tasted so good! The beer batter is not that super thick kind that tastes mushy half way through biting it but rather it really coats the fish and fries up nicely and stays crispy too. I used Tilapia fillets and loved their flavor but you can use any firm white fish you prefer. The cream sauce…OMGoodness. Like seriously, it is pretty the bomb. I kept eating it by itself. It is spicy and has a great cilantro flavor and complements the fish very well. I used corn tortillas and they were great but next time I think I will stick to flour. Just personal preference.

Costa Rican Fish & Chips

Sitting on the beach, relaxing to the sound of the waves crashing on shore, and eating, eating very well. That was our delightful experience in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We ate at a beach front restaurant called Lola’s. It offers fresh seafood and simple dishes full of flavor. Fresh fish on the beach is always a great experience and this was no exception. The fish is Tilapia and was moist and flavorful with a delicious crispy batter that it was fried in. It came with a side of coleslaw and fries or ‘chips’. The fish is definitely the star of the show. Full of Costa Rican flavors, the batter stays crispy not getting soggy at all. Check out the easy recipe for this Costa Rican fish after the jump!

Churros & Chocolate Sauce

The best churro I have ever had was in 2004 in Disneyland. Oh man, it was delicious. Sure it was $5 bucks but I still remember it and 8 years later I am blogging about it. Since Disneyland is no where in my foreseeable future, I had to take things into my own hands, well, kitchen and fry me up so churros! This easy recipe is dangerous because you are bringing addicting churros into your home and with chocolate sauce…good idea or bad idea?

Delicious Rating: Good idea if you have self control! I don’t but they were still delicious. All the ingredients you need are probably in your kitchen right now. The house fills with the wonderful aroma of fried sweet dough, yum! I love chocolate sauce on its own but dipping churros in it is the frosting on the cake. Leave a comment and let me know the best churro you have ever had!
