This summer, I have really been focused on making new recipes, trying new foods (aka more seafood and vegetarian), and including more grilling options in our meal plan each week. Living in Houston, it has been averaging 100 degrees lately, so I am definitely grateful for grilling and not having to heat up the kitchen!
Last week, I wanted something light tasting, healthy, and decided on these fish bowls. My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed them, and even my kids liked theirs. The fish was seasoned perfectly and the flavors were perfect together! This dish is packed with protein and is quick to prepare!
Hope you enjoy!
