In The Kitchen Saturday

Fast Fish Tacos
1  10.6-ounce package Gorton's Extra Crunchy Fish Tenders
  • 6  8-inch flour tortillas
  • 1  small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1  10-ounce jar tartar sauce
  • 1 1/2  cups  shredded Romaine lettuce

1. Bake the fish according to the package directions. Wrap the stack of tortillas in foil and place in the oven during the last 5 minutes of baking.
2. Transfer the warm tortillas to plates.
3. On each tortilla, place 2 tenders, a few slices of the onion, and a dollop of the tartar sauce; top with ¼ cup of the lettuce. Fold over and serve.
Option(s): Add your favorite type of pre-shredded cheese and/or finely diced tomato.
Cocoa-Coconut No-Bake Cookie
1/3 cup butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup coconut
4 teaspoons cocoa
3 cups oatmeal1 1/2 cup sugar (can substitute part brown sugar; I usually do)
1.  First, you add both the oatmeal and coconut together in a large mixing bowl, and set aside.

2.  Next, bring out a pot,  add evaporated milk, butter (or margarine), and your sugar. I usually use 1/2  cup brown sugar & 1 cup white sugar.

3.  Add your cocoa, then put on stove, on low heat (DO NOT BOIL). Whisk or stir until the mixture 
becomes smooth so all the sugar and cocoa has dissolved.


4.  Add your pot of dissolved ingredients to your large mixing bowl of dry ingredients of oatmeal and coconut. Mix, mush, and fold until it's thoroughly mixed.


5.  Lastly, you will want to spoon your mixture into bite-sized cookies. I used 2 teaspoons cupped together to form the style and shape of cookie I wanted. Then place them on a cookie sheet with wax paper on it so they won't stick to the pan (everyone hates doing dishes). Now you let them set. I like to put them in the fridge overnight for best results.

Super Picnic Lemonade

2 cans (12 oz each) frozen lemonade concentrate
1 can (12 oz) frozen white grape juice concentrate
17 1/2 cups cold water


In large nonmetal container, mix all ingredients.
Refrigerate until serving time. Serve over ice.


Makes 22 servings (1 cup each)
That's over a gallon (1 gallon & 1-1/2 quarts), so use a huge container!

  1. I do a version of those tacos using Cole Slaw mix veggies, corn tortillas and Chipotle Ranch dressing. :)
