To all the mothers in my life, and to the reason I’m able to celebrate

Easy cilantro lime “sauce”

When we lived in San Diego my favorite fast food was Rubio’s. I loved their fish tacos, and haven’t found anything to compare in Spokane. After quite a few failed taste tests at restaurants, the hubs and I gave up and decided to make our own instead. I can’t remember exactly what the Rubio’s white sauce tastes like, just that it was amazing and an essential ingredient! Sunday night I whipped up my own version, and after topping our tacos, I happily polished the rest off with a spoon!

Cilantro Lime Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (can sub sour cream)

2 tsp finely diced cilantro (I used the frozen cilantro pods found at Trader Joe’s)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 TBS lime juice (I used Nellie’s Key Lime juice)

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/8 tsp cumin

1/8 tsp chili powder

Directions

Mix all ingredients together until evenly dispersed. Serve with fish tacos, or as a dip for chips.

Genevieve’s 6 month pictures

Next week Genevieve will be 7 months. SEVEN MONTHS! What?! Where did my newborn go? She’s gone from completely helpless and dependent on me to rolling over, scooting in circles, reaching for the doggy, and feeding herself thankyouverymuch, in the blink of an eye.

A few weeks ago we had a lovely session with the very talented Laura Fifield (our maternity/birth/newborn photographer). Here are some of my favorite shots!
