Happy Tuesday friends! I'm in a great mood this morning. FINALLY, after being sick for an entire week, I am starting to feel like my old self again! Really... it isn't until you are down and out do you realize how we take our health for granted. Don't get me wrong, I am WELL aware of how precious my health and well-being are (otherwise why would I being doing what I'm doing, right?!). But, really, until you are put in a position where you are forced to limit yourself because of an injury or illness do you truly become humbled for the ability that you have to be as active as you normally are. That's the case for me anyway and I'm SOOO glad to be back in business! So glad that I decided to get back in the kitchen and whip up meal that sounded delicious and that I might actually be able to enjoy now that I'm getting my senses back :) On the menu... SPICY SHRIMP TACOS! These turned out fantastic, an instant top five on my list of favorite meals for sure! So here it is - enjoy friends!

1 tsp cayenne pepper

Additionally, I added a few side dishes to my yummy shirmp tacos. Plain black beans and a romaine lettuce salad with thinly sliced onions, cubed avocado and my own concoction of dressing; a touch of EVOO, red wine vinegar, lime juice and a sprinke of cilantro... DELISH!
