Delicious, Fresh, Ceviche

It's no secret that I'm a vegetarian who loves to delight my carnivorous friends with things that they love. This Ceviche is one of those things...specifically requested from my husband and devoured by our friends and family. I made it as an appetizer before a tex-mex meal consisting of refried beans, pulled chicken tacos, homemade guac, and a friend made some divine jalapeno poppers.
Enjoy this super simple recipe!

1 lb. Fresh White Fish (I used Tilapia) cut into small chunks
Juice of 6-8 limes
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 Orange
3 Small Tomatoes on the Vine diced
1 Jalapeno diced finely (deseeded)
Fresh Cilantro - chopped (to your liking for the amount)
1 garlic clove finely diced
2 T. Olive Oil
2 Avocados diced
3 T. Red Onion finely diced
1/4 tsp. salt and pepper (more to your liking)

Combine the fish (already cut) and the juice of the limes, lemons, and orange into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate. The fish will "cook" through via the acidity of the fruit. At least 30 minutes - possibly an hour. When the fish is "cooked" it should be white and opaque. Add in the other ingredients and let it marinate a little longer. Serve with tortilla chips.

Cauliflower Mash

Anyone who knows me...knows that I have a cauliflower addiction. It's such a delicious vegetable and so versatile. Anyway - try out this recipe and you will seriously rethink mashed potatoes. Divine!!

1 Head of Cauliflower, Cut in pieces
2 T. Unsalted Butter
3 T. Sour Cream
1/2 cup to 1 cup Cheese (you choose your cheese...asiago and parmesan are two of my faves)
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
(possibly need a splash of milk)

Boil a salted pot of water. Add in cauliflower. Cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain water. Add in other ingredients in the pot and use your handheld blender (or food processor) to mash. Taste for seasoning and add in more s&p as needed. Enjoy!!
