Easy Fish Tacos Recipe & a Fall Tablescape

This weekend I had a dinner party, but not just your regular dinner party! There was a small twist. It was a virtual dinner party! Does that even exist? It does now, lol! Now that we live across the country from all of our family, we don't see them regularly for dinner anymore. I am here to tell you just because you can't have your family over for dinner does not mean you cannot party with them! We had a party over skype! We do this all the time on either facetime or skype. We just set either the computer or the phone up and just kind of pretend we are there with each other. It really helps the kids feel like they are getting to hang out with the grandparents! So let's take a look at all the details of the party!

Since I don't have a very big table it's difficult to do a big tablescape with all the things I would love to put on my table, but that doesn't mean you can't decorate it! I like to have something that I can easily remove from the table for when the kids sit down to eat on a regular basis. So I used some pumpkins and my pallet wood chargers I made last year (I just flipped them over). This makes it easy for me to pick up the entire centerpiece and move it to the counter when the kids are doing homework or eating breakfast.

For the place mats I took some drop cloth I had and just simply tore it. Then instead of placing them on the table like they should be, I turned them verically and made it look like there was two runners. This just helps allow for more space on my small table, plus I love how it turned out! I got my napkins and napkin rings from World Market. I am so excited about those napkin rings, they will go with everything! So for our dinner party we made some super easy Fish Tacos using my Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® (which are conveniently available at Wal Mart). I can't believe how easy this makes dinner and still have something so healthy and delicious! It eliminates your need to pull out all those seasonings and measuring spoons. Just melt it in the pan and you are ready to go!

I have made this meal twice now, and they are delicious! If you are looking for some easy dinner recipes, this is a great thing to have in your fridge!

I know what you are thinking. Fish tacos do not sound easy. Well... these are! Let's take a look at how it's done!

So you are essentially just sauteing up your cabbage and your fish, with a few little extras added in for an even better flavor!

The kids sure had  blast eating them. I'm amazed at how much my small children who won't eat green beans LOVE fish! But I think they loved eating off the "big people" plates and drinking out of real glasses too! My family had fun too and made some delicious tea with mint leaves! It was a great night of virtual family fun!

Have a beautiful day!
