Simple and oh so good is this dinner favorite at my house. Chopping up a simple slaw and grilling fat fillets under 10 minutes makes a bright healthy option for summertime dinner. I always have a nice mango salsa on hand in the pantry and a few lime wedges top it all off well.

I serve my tacos on mini whole wheat soft shells with lime and avacado and topped with spicy mango salsa.
I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
Im a county girl with a lot of love to share. Girl raised in the South cooking- that's me! GRITCOOKING! I hope you enjoy and please, share and give feedback on what you like or wanting to know more on. Much LOVE always.
