 Folate
is an important B vitamin that may help protect against
cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast. You can find
it in abundance on the breakfast table. Fortified
breakfast cereals and whole wheat products are good
sources of folate. So are orange juice, melons, and
strawberries.

Excellence not Perfection
 Developing
excellence doesn’t happen overnight. There is no quick
and easy way to develop excellence in our lives or
careers. We can’t attend a seminar and as a result
magically become excellent. We can’t read a book and
have it all figured out in a day. And we can’t just tell
ourselves we have excellence and then automatically
possess it. Developing excellence takes time; it’s hard
work and can take a lifetime to develop.
The word excellence is defined as the quality of
excelling, possessing good qualities in high degree. It
also means to excel in something. The word excellent
means something is very good of its kind, eminently good
or first class. In other words, something that is
excellent is superior.
Excellence is not perfection. It’s not performing
flawlessly or without mistakes. Strive to excel and live
a life full of good qualities.
Be patient with yourself, and note, practice makes
excellence.

Ingredients:
-
12 small corn tortillas (or substitute with
whole-wheat tortillas)
-
3 Tbsp. canola oil divided
-
3 Tbsp. lime juice, divided
-
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped and divided
-
2-3 cups thinly sliced cabbage, mix of red and white
varieties
-
3 green onions sliced thinly
-
1 small red onion sliced thinly

1 large tomato chopped

Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Place tortillas in aluminum foil and cover
completely. When oven has reached 300 degrees,
place tortillas inside to warm. (This also could
be done on grill while fish is cooking.)
-
Combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lime
juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, cabbage, green onions,
red onion, and tomato dice in a bowl and set
aside.
-
Season fish with garlic, cumin, salt, pepper,
remaining oil and cilantro, and 1 tablespoon
lime juice. Heat grill or grill pan over
medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray.
Place fish on grill/pan, careful to only turn
once so it doesn't break apart. Let cook over
medium high heat for about 4 minutes on first
side and then about 2 minutes on second side.
Let rest on large plate for about 5 minutes.
Carefully flake apart the fish into roughly
1-inch size pieces.
-
Assemble tacos by placing fish and then slaw in
each tortilla. Serve immediately with lime
wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
