It’s official: DC summer has hit a steady trend of soaring 90+ degrees and a slap-you-in-the-face humidity that declares war on your hair and complexion. Humidity is currently winning, side note.
When DC turns into a swampland, my desire to cook takes a total nosedive. Turn on the oven? No way, José. My apartment already feels like a sauna. The idea of cranking up the heat even more? Psh, you’ll make me choke on my Popsicle. Cook a heavy meal? Again, no way, José. I’m already a human fireball. I don’t want to have a food baby, too.
When I do decide to use my stovetop, you better believe it’s for one of my favorite meals. I promise, once you cook the tilapia and sauté the bell peppers, you can nix the heat. After that, it’s cool, clean eating : )
Fajita Fish Tacos is a light and refreshing meal that energizes you without making you sluggish or ruining your bathing beauty figure. Talk about a win-win for summer!
Speaking of winning, omg can we take a minute to chat about Trader Joe’s Reduced Guilt Guacamole and Trader Joe’s Serrano Salsa Fresca?!?! Be still, my Mexican-grub loving heart. These two dips complete me and are now two items I immediately make a beeline for whenever I visit Trader Joe’s.
Their reduced guilt guacamole cuts the calories without losing any flavor and I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t eat this guac out of the jar with a spoon. Because I have. #singlegirlconfessions
If you’ve read DC Girl in Pearls for awhile, you know about my great love of hot sauce and spice. For $2.99, Trader Joe’s Serrano Salsa Fresca Brings. The.Heat. Oh my goodness, it tastes like your favorite restaurant salsa but packs a serious punch. Hellooooo, new favorite salsa! It is extremely fresh so it should only keep in a fridge for a handful of days. But Real Talk, if this isn’t gone after two days, you’re doing it wrong.
