We love a taco night. Who doesn’t? Fatima and I had one of those weeks where we wanted the best, dirty-delicious takeout food. We were stressed, our kids were sick, and all we wanted was Smashburger, Taco Bell, nachos, and every fried blooming onion I could find. Instead, Fatima whipped up these cheesy gordita tacos to keep our cravings at bay. If you don’t know, you buy cheesy gordita tacos…
It’s been a minute since we had some tacos. Since we had these tacos from Cravings and these delicious tacos, we’ve been trying to find the next iteration of fried fish tacos. I think we found them.

Every once in a while, Pinterest spits out a recipe I actually want to try. I can’t stand the number of easy gooey-just-like-crack-poke-cakes that are sent to me via the algorithm. Well, maybe I should stop clicking on them to understand what makes them a crake-poke-chicken whatever. Recently, we were in the mood for tacos and these fajita shrimp tacos spoke to me. I am always down for Taco Tuesday…
In our house, we’re down for tacos wherever, whenever. Taco Monday, Taco Tuesday, Taco Wednesday, Taco any day! We’ve made fish, chicken, vegetables, you name it. On our journey to change up our tacos, we fried up some chicken and drizzled a luscious garlic ranch sauce all over them. They were a hit. We even just purchased a new book, Dragons Love Tacos, for Liam. It’s now one of my favorite books…
The past few months have been filled with breastfeeding, diaper changes, lullabies and discovering new recipes. Parental leave has been an amazing time as I bond with Liam and discover a whole new side of myself as a mother. But I could not lose sight of what I’ve always loved doing, which is cooking. Cooking is like therapy for me and it was just what I needed to do between…
We’ve been on a taco spree lately! We’re not sure if we’re just craving Mexican dishes or if we’re making all of these tacos to pair with the different margaritas we’ve mixed up lately. Anywho, we loved these Southern fried fish tacos and can’t wait to make them again. Our neighborhood seafood market had a great selection of Atlantic Cod filets. On its own, cod is a bland fish. Well, pretty much all…
A few weeks ago, my cousin Lisa and her Grammy Award-winning fiancé, Peter, flew into Connecticut from Hawaii to do some wedding planning before the big day! We’re so excited to head out to Hawaii next year! Part of their trip included celebrating Nana’s ’92+2′ birthday and coming down to NYC to visit me at work! Not that they completely inspired this dish, but we were looking for a way to dress up…
To start prepping the big move, we’re starting to clean out the fridge and cabinets. Using leftovers, we whipped up these chipotle shrimp tacos. If it’s one thing I love, it’s shrimp. We’ve been on a southwestern/Mexican kick lately and I wanted to spice things up by changing out our “meat.” Be warned, chipotle seasoning can be spicy, however I can deal with the spice. I love the smoky flavor chipotle…
Ughghg you know I how I feel about the crock pot. Set it and forget it – yes not the right tag line, but it works. I love being able to prepare my meals in the morning before work, throw it in the crock pot, let it slow cook all day while we’re at work, and come home and dinner is ready. We made these delicious slow cooker tacos last…
What I love most about a crock pot is the “set it and forget it” mentality. That feeling you get after a long day of work, and realize you have a warm dinner waiting for you when you walk into your house. The crock pot is a magical thing. You can make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts for a family of four or for yourself for the week! This chicken…
Oh my gosh. This orange chicken fried chicken sandwich was so good. There are notes, but overall, this was a really good sandwich. I love anything Fatima fries. Chicken, shrimp, fish tacos; there’s really nothing she can’t fry. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.

At a certain point, we cycle through the same meatless meals every month or two. Specifically, our fish entrees. We have only so many salmon, white fish, shrimp, and fish tacos to go around. I love them all, but adding this cornmeal fried cod rice bowl, gives me more time between the last salmon dinner and the next. I went out to lunch at a place called Fieldtrip and ordered…
When we first moved to Manhattan over a decade ago, my wife and I would eat pasta and meatballs a few times a week. It was a cheap, easy meal and allowed us to splurge on an occasional fish dish. Today, we are much more thoughtful and balanced in our meal prep. We like to have at least one meat, one fish, and one vegetarian dish every week. Salmon is…
A few months after our youngest was born, we invited our friends over to meet him for the first time. Our friend, Lauren, insisted on making us homemade southwest chicken bowls. How could we refuse? They were delicious. And it’s always a great feeling when you get to hand over the kitchen to someone else. Can you guess what would go well with these bowls? Margaritas. These southwest chicken bowls…
If you didn’t know, we love shrimp. We love shrimp in salad, in tacos, and with tequila. When Brian and I were perusing through Ayesha Curry’s Full Plate and saw the lemony garlic shrimp, we were sold. We’re actually highlighting two different recipes from her book: Garlic Shrimp and Coconut Rice. A perfect pair!

We had another baby! We dusted off the mics so we could capture our thoughts for another season of Millennial and Pregnant. Fatima and I are excited to bring you another season of this podcast because we had so many people reach out to tell us how much they loved the show. Whether they liked the advice, shared the feelings, or enjoyed the conversation, we were so happy to be…
