Fish Tacos With Cumin Kale Salad

This is our take on fish tacos.  The tangy sauce that the kale is dressed with pairs amazingly with crispy, fried fish.

Instagram post 2261921996675843696_5583118412 The Full Sugar Moon as seen setting this morning over Havilland Bay in Algoma, northern Ontario. Also known as the Sap Moon and the Worm Moon.  The Sugar Moon is the last full moon of the winter season before the spring equinox - which is March 19th at 11:49 p.m. ET this year.  The Sugar moon is named as such because of the sap that begins to drip from maple trees in the northern hemisphere, which as we all know, is used to make delicious maple syrup. Historically, Native Americans tracked seasons by the full moons.  These names come from imagery associated with the current season. The Sugar Moon is no different. It's always the last full moon before the beginning of spring. #fullmoon #sugarmoon #sapmoon
Instagram post 2260595955900213545_5583118412 What a beautiful day we had #boilingsap for #maplesyrup. We made some #mapletaffy in the snow and snowshoed around the #sugarbush a few times. It was splendid to have some of you along for the fun!
Instagram post 2259959190967744362_5583118412 Who wants to come along for a walk in the sugar bush tomorrow? And get the first boil of the season fired up. Oh, and make some maple taffy in the snow?
