Salmon Cakes

When you are craving crab cakes, but the budget doesn’t allow it what’s a girl to do? Salmon cakes! This recipe uses wild caught canned Alaskan salmon so it’s super budget friendly.

We all know we are supposed to eat fish several times a week and that we should only eat wild caught salmon so this recipe is an excellent way to accomplish that.

My personal preference is to only eat wild caught Alaskan salmon, not labeled Atlantic as it is farmed, and not labeled farmed.


Salmon Cakes

3 6 oz. cans Wild Caught Canned Salmon
1 shallot minced
1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
1/4 cup mayo
1 t dry mustard
1 t dill
2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients and form into equal size cakes and sauté.



Tarter Sauce

1 cup real mayonnaise
1 T finely diced shallot
2 T pickle relish
1 t lemon juice
2 t dill
Fresh ground pepper

Mix all ingredients.

Enjoy!

Sloppy Joe's without the can!

This recipe for Sloppy Joe’s has gotten the stamp of approval from my picky eaters and it’s so easy you will never go back to the canned stuff. What’s great about making your own Sloppy Joe’s is that you control the sodium and spices so you can customize it for your own picky eaters. Another healthful benefit to making your own is that there will be no high fructose corn syrup or other nasty ingredients. Did you know that for just a few cents more you can buy organic ketchup and it does not have corn syrup in it?

Creamy Potato Leek Soup

As the weather and the falling leaves turn crisp we naturally start to think of meals that are warm and comforting. Nothing fills that order better than a warm and hearty soup. Not only are soups a budget stretcher, but they are not as difficult to prepare as you may think. While canned soups may be a tempting convenience they are often loaded with sodium. I guarantee that the soup recipes that I am going to introduce you to will be so tasty that you will find yourself not be able to crack open that canned soup again. The first soup in this series is a creamy potato leek soup. I like to make it completely creamy, but if you prefer some potato chunks you can make it to your liking. In a large pot brown about a half of a pound of good quality chopped bacon. I like Boars Head peppered bacon myself. Once bacon is crispy remove bits to a plate lined with paper toweling. I mop up most of the bacon drippings from the pot with a paper towel, leaving only little brown bits. Melt about 2...

It smells like Christmas

I know, I know.  It's been way too long since the last post of a recipe.  I am sharing a recipe for a family Christmas favorite.  At our house it's not Christmas until you smell the Trigona baking.  If you are a Greek Festival fan, this is the recipe for the triangle cheese pies.  Trigona 16 oz. Feta Cheese crumbled 12 oz. small curd cottage cheese 8oz. Presidents butter melted 2 eggs 1 pkg. Athens Phyllo Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crumbled feta, eggs, and cottage cheese. Set aside. Melt butter. Phyllo will dry out quickly so it is important to work quickly and have everything you need ready. Dampen one clean kitchen towel to cover phyllo. Remove one package of phyllo and slice widthwise into approximately 3”-4” strips with pizza cutter. Stack together and cover with towel. Remove 3 sheets of phyllo strips and recover remaining. Brush phyllo completely with melted butted. At one end of strip spoon approximately 2 Tbs. of feta mixture on strip a...
