Baked Honey Lime Salmon

                                                                                                                                                                                                        This recipe caught my eye on facebook so today I'm making it for our dinner.

I am determined to like SALMON!!!!



It sure looks easy enough!!

Enjoy!


INGREDIENTS

• 1 large salmon fillet (see note)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 
  
• ½ cup butter, melted (see note)
• juice of 2 limes (plus one lime, thinly sliced)
• 
  
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 
  
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 
  
• ⅓ cup cilantro, roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line and grease a large baking sheet with foil. Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides to taste. Slip lime slices underneath the salmon.
2. Stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Pour mixture over salmon. Fold sides of foil up over the salmon (don't worry if it doesn't cover the salmon completely).
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

NOTES

Don't stress about the size of your salmon fillet. This recipe is very forgiving and works for one very large salmon, a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small individual fillets. 

For an even lighter version, you can cut back the butter to 4 tablespoons instead of a half cup (8 tablespoons). Keep in mind though that for a very large salmon fillet like the one I used, 8 tablespoons is not a terribly huge amount when divided between 4-6 servings.

Strawberry Creamcheese Roll-ups! Yummy!

 I was browsing through my favorite blogs and came across a recipe that caught my eye.  It seemed easy enough so I thought I'd try it my way.  The blog I am referring to is: CinnamonSpice&EverythingNice.com. Thank Reeni :). I adapted the recipe to our liking so hubby would also enjoy it. He loves strawberries.

Note:  This recipe is super easy and you can easily make as many as you'd like and I used a whole loaf of bread and froze a bunch(without topping of course)for later microwave heat up on the go breakfast yums. 

As I was checking out my frige I noticed I had a whole container of strawberry cream cheese and I also had some of my homemade strawberry sauce.  I figured this was going to be fun meal.  Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you choose, It's an anytime meal and it really was quick and easy too!. I decided to use the strawberries because I already had made the sauce but I'm thinking next time I'll use Honey nut cream cheese and maybe top it with maple syrup.  Yummy!!

Ingredients

10 slices regular bread, cut or trim crust
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 small container strawberry cream cheese.  (note:  I let it out on my counter for about 20 minutes to get it  really soft so it would be easy to spread.

Homemade strawberry sauce (you can use strawberry pie filling, fresh strawberries or any fruit combination you think would work) or just sprinkle some confectionery sugar on them.
whipped cream (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
butter

On a clean cutting board trim edges off bread.  With a rolling pin (I use my pamperchef easy to clean one)

Spread cream cheese on flattened bread, approx. 1 to 2 tsp.

Roll from widest to end.  It looks like a mini jelly roll.  Place each on greased dish until all are made.

In a separate bowl, place eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla,  Whisk well. 


Roll the bread up and repeat until they're all filled.


After all are rolled, place one at a time in beaten egg mixture(I used my fingers) and onto a buttered fry pan.  Cook until browned.  Several minutes and they are ready to eat.

Top with strawberries and whipped cream or Cool whip if desired.  Note:  You can even sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruit on the side.  Enjoy!!!!!!!

Homemade Pancakes from scratch!

When my middle grandson came for an overnight stay I mentioned that I had great-grandma's recipe for homemade pancakes and he wanted to help making them . We had a fun time making them and he, Poppy and I devoured them in minutes..Here's the recipe and pictures.  Fun in the kitchen!

4 tablespoons butter or margarine melted (I use butter)
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs (separated)
pinch salt (I didn't add salt since my butter was salted)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup milk
Note:  sliced bananas, chocolate chips are always an option to add to batter.

You'll need two separate bowls..One bowl for yolks and one for whites.Whites will have to be beat separately.

Combine sugar and butter and beat until blended, add egg yolks and beat..Alternating flour mixture(flour, baking powder)with milk..Beat well..Fold in beaten egg whites.(whites should be stiff)

Heat skittet with slight amount of butter or margarine..(be careful too much butter will brown them too quickly.)
Spoon large tablespoon(approx. 2) depending on desired size. You can use a 1/4 measuring  cup as well..
Cook until center of pancakes start to produce bubbles..Turn and cook a few minutes more..

Happy Cooking!
