Fish Friday is something we have very often. Growing up in Louisiana we ate Fish on Friday every week. When we eat fried fish tartar sauce is a must have condiment. We didn’t have any bottled tartar sauce left from the last time we cooked fried fish. So I decided to make my own with the ingredients I had on hand.
I have a few versions of tartar sauce. This is my easiest one.

A few weeks ago my teen traveled away for a leadership conference with her school. While she was away
she texted me mom please make me a good meal for when I return. I had already planned to do this,but
it was nice hearing from asking me to. Good to know that my kids love my food. But they are spoiled 😂😂 I whipped up this yummy Fried chicken taco bowl topped with spiral Alfredo pasta.
Finished with fresh Parmesan and herbs.
I have a confession, I’m not much of a vegetable eater? I know, I know, yes I need vegetables. But I have a few that I like. Collard greens are an excellent source of vitamin A, C, and calcium. In addition, rich in vitamin K, and a good source of iron, vitamin B-6, and magnesium. Collard greens are very good for you. This is something that I do eat.
Cabbage is a good source of Vitamin C, high in fiber and Vitamin K.
Collard greens + Cabbage = a very nutritious dish.
Today I’m sharing my Cajunified Collard Greens and cabbage dish.
Very simple and easy to make.
