Cajun Blackened Fish A few months ago, the uber talented Kathleen from Hapa Nom Nom did a guest post and shared Blackened Fish Tacos. Seeing that recipe really drove home how much amazing food there is in this world and how even if I live to be 178 (?!?), that I’ll never get through my ever growing list of things to make, food to try, restaurants to visit, countries to see and experiences to have....

I have a feeling that this is the very first recipe I’ve shared that has kale in it. Gasp, shock horror!!! It is not that I don’t like kale, I actually like it just fine. It’s just that it’s usually pretty darn expensive! Damn food trends. It’s ruining so many undiscovered fabulous budget foods. Like beef cheeks. Mussels. Lamb ribs. All these things that were crazy cheap 10 years ago and now not so cheap!...

It’s typically used to pile on toppings though I’m a fan of using crostini for dunking and scooping at every opportunity....
