Tortellini Soup
This may be coming out of left field but let me tell you, that I don’t really like soup. I find the consistency to be very weird and I have struggled with finding what I love.

What soup is at the top of my list you ask? Cheddar potato! As well as noodles and broth (not a fan of chicken in soup).

Taco Tuesday anyone? These mahi mahi tacos are light on calories and heavy on flavor. I made these because I was so sick of the typical beef or chicken tacos we were making every week.
