Buns of Fun

I made "Fun Buns" today for a brunch I went to (in early celebration of my friend Marisa's bday!)

They are this deliciously easy nom nom food...best when eaten straight outta the oven...

Here's how it went down:

-crescent rolls (if not many people, 1 package is fine)...I had 2 but wished I had 4!

-large marshmallows

-melted butter

-cinnamon/sugar

-muffin tin

-Pam or some kind of butter/grease spray (for tin)

Oven set to 375 (put in for 10-13 min...will begin to brown and marshmallow will explode out when done!)

I set out some wax paper on the counter to be able to unroll and work with the crescent roll pieces, melted the butter in a small dish, and had a plate for the cinn/sugar mix

Basically you take a marshmallow, dip it in the butter and then roll it to your hearts content in cinnamon/sugar...then place this on a crescent roll piece

The hard part is rolling the crescent piece around the marshmallow and pinching the sides to cover it up...Make sure you spray down/grease the ENTIRE muffin pan (these tend to "explode" in the oven and will help with clean up later!)

And I wish I had a picture of the final buns, but they went quick!

Hope you enjoy! And seriously, eat them when they come outta the oven...they are gooey and sticky and hot and oh so good!

Mango Love

Sometimes I make yummy dinners...figured I would share with you!

Fish Tacos

I gather the following:

-1 ripe mango

-onion

-tomato

-cilantro

-lime juice

-tilapia filets (depends on # people...2 for us)

-tortilla wraps

-olive oil

-salt/pepper

-garlic salt

I start out making the "salsa" portion and setting this aside/in the fridge...

Chop up some onion, some tomato, a few cilantro leaves and the mango...Now, if you have never experienced mango or how to get into one of these bad boys, let me show you something!

I have this amazing tool (mango cutter)...I peeled the mango skin and then this amazing tool takes out the HUGE middle seed...

Which makes it completely easy to cut the mango in bite size pieces :)

I combine all these into a bowl and douse with some lime juice (I like lime juice, so I put in a good squeeze or two!)

I then cook the fillets in a pan with a little olive oil, salt/pepper and garlic salt...once the fish starts to turn more white and flaky, I use the spatula in order to smash it into bite size bits...

Then I place the cooked fish on another plate while I put a tiny bit of oil in the same pan and place a tortilla for a few seconds, then flip it and add a portion of the fish and salsa...

Fold the sides and hold flat on top and...TADA! you have fish tacos and mango salsa!

(and no, I didn't burn the ones on the left, they are whole wheat tortillas)...

ENJOY!
