Fish Tacos With Mango Salsa Recipe-Memories Of The Cheesecake Factory

Last week while my husband and I were visiting Florida, we ate at The Cheesecake Factory, one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered the fish tacos because we wanted to try something new. I love seafood, but wasn't sure I would like them in a taco. However, they were awesome with the fresh salsa and guacumole. I'm hoping to try this recipe soon in an effort to recreate the wonderful fish tacos from The Cheesecake Factory.

Fat-Free Brownies-Microwaveable


This is a great recipe that's so quick and easy to prepare. You prepare the brownie mix, then store it in a sealed container. Whenever someone gets a chocolate craving or is in the mood for a sweet treat you can have hot, fresh brownies within minutes. The best thing about this recipe is you can prepare individual servings rather than making an entire pan.
Fat-Free Brownie Mix
1/2 cup baking cocoa
3/4 cup flour
1 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
f.f. plain yogurt, f.f. sour cream, applesauce, or water to mix

When you're ready for a brownie simply mix 2 T. of the dry mix with 1 T. of the yogurt, sour cream, applesauce, or water. I usually spread it out a little on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for approximately 30 seconds. This is soooo easy, and it makes the house smell like chocolate. MMMMMM! It's extra special with a dollop of cool whip.
