First time fish experiment

It's not very often that Jay and I buy fish, but when at Costco we couldn't pass up a large piece of salmon based on the price.  I looked at a few different recipes on how to bake salmon, and I ended up using this baked salmon recipe as a guide. I did not however follow this recipe when decided what to put on the salmon.


I first put the salmon into a piece of aluminum foil that I would be able to fold over to completely cover the salmon. I then poured soy sauce over the fish following by added pieces of cut butter. Finally I added some mustard seed, parsley and pepper. I baked the salmon at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your piece of fish. This was a very simple, tasty meal!

Tasty treats for the dog too!

Another thing that I've started baking is treats for our dog. With only four ingredients, these are so easy to make. I decided to actually use cookie cutters to make them so that is the longest part of the process.  Rachel Ray's Pup'kin Biscuits are great. Our dog loves them!

What to do with all the leftover turkey?

After our tasty Thanksgiving meal, we found ourselves with lots of leftover turkey. Now for me this tastes good a few times, and then I start to get sick of it. So I started to search for something that I could use the turkey in. I also was looking for something simple that I didn't need to go to the store to get additional ingredients.

I settled on Turkey Tettrazini. It was a very simple recipe, although we found that there wasn't much flavor. I would definitely make this again in the future, but would figure out something to do to spice it up a little.

We also made turkey tacos. I purchased taco seasoning and used turkey instead of ground beef.
