I know no big woop but the tacos were different cause instead of a tortilla they used JICAMA so it was a thin slice of Jicama then toped with the (beer)battered fish cole slaw(or pico de gallo) and like a strawberry sourcream or some sort of fruit sourcream it was delicious they stated it was the best fish tacos they ever had cause of the JIcama!! and soo much healthier!!! were making them this weekend here!!Lyzzettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411787056865736088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-76896333221798441872011-08-25T10:34:23.067-07:002011-08-25T10:34:23.067-07:00oh nom nom nom!!! this looks totally doable.

It also provides about 16 percent of your daily folic acid needs. Jicama, per cup, is a moderately good source of potassium, too. It has very few calories, though, compared to a potato (it's less filling, also). I think mainly it is a different flavor, a different texture, and it's great either cooked or raw so for me, it's just fun to try something different--not necessarily replace potatoes all together, but use jicama as a new side dish that is nutritional and fun to eat. Especially since we don't eat meat, I like to be cooking with many different vegetables so that we get a large range of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in our diet.Wendy Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217505084806576829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-47117334950873291162011-08-25T08:08:17.814-07:002011-08-25T08:08:17.814-07:00I also had never heard of a jicama...the name alon...I also had never heard of a jicama...the name alone makes me want to go out and buy one so I can say the word out loud...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-12019542805136349592011-08-25T06:15:20.036-07:002011-08-25T06:15:20.036-07:00I LOOOOOOVEEEE JICAMA !!

You also have so many vegetables to work with that we don't get in New Zealand but I would love to try! Jicama is one of them. My 3-year old just asked for Jicama chippies for dinner (it'll have to be the humble potatoe sweety I said). <br />It is so exciting waiting to know the names of the girls though I am happy that Rebecca's hunch of 22/11 means we might still get a few more Monday updates as I love those! Naming the babes is so special, and with Archer and Fable being such gorgeous names the girls are sure to have beautiful names too!<br /><br />Loving your happy family!<br />xxxTanyahttp://this-that-and-everything.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-44577650410195657872011-08-24T17:17:31.818-07:002011-08-24T17:17:31.818-07:00@ Anon - that elephant foot yam is quite impressiv...@ Anon - that elephant foot yam is quite impressive!!
