Salmon with Rice

Image
We all know that we need to eat fish because it is good for us. Salmon is a great source of vitamin D, B12, niacin, selenium, B6, and magnesium. I am not a fish lover, and definitely not a salmon lover, but this recipe changed that.  It is important to buy Wild Salmon . Farm raised salmon has major health risks associated with it. Farm raised may be cheaper, but it is not worth it. For more information on farm fish, see the link below. http://www.albany.edu/ihe/salmonstudy/ The recipe...... Salmon: 1/2 pound Wild Salmon 1 packet Sazon Goya con Culantro y Achiote (Coriander &Annatto) 1/2 tsp of Goya Adobo (all purpose seasoning with red top) Olive oil Place the seasoned fish in a baking dish with a little olive oil. Bake 10 minutes per inch (thick) at 450 degrees. This piece of salmon was 2 inches thick. I baked it covered for the first 10 minutes and uncovered for the rest of the time.

Salad Dressing

I was over at Kim and Tim's house for Christmas and they prepared the best salad dressing. Tim told me it was his mother's recipe, and it was her mother's recipe.

Ingredients: 1 cup mayonaise 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar Directions: Mix together well, and serve over a tossed salad. Enjoy!

One of my new year resolutions is to do "Meatless Mondays". This means that I won't eat meat on Mondays. I created this vegetarian entree from reading a few different recipes and putting my own twist on it. It is wonderful.  I would like to say that the pie crusts I bought today were very small.  This is why I had to use both of them. If you buy a regular size pie crust or use a pie dish, this recipe should fit into one just perfect. Buying a pie crust saves a lot of time, but I do recommend making your own. There is nothing better than  homemade :) This dish goes great with a tossed salad, and is very satisfying. Ingredients:  1 large head of broccoli chopped 4 garlic cloves pressed 1/2  sweet onion diced salt and pepper to taste 1/4 cup milk 2 eggs 1 heaping cup of shredded cheddar cheese (the more the merrier) 2 small sweet potatoes  olive oil Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Boil the sweet potatoes, and dice them. Set aside. In a skille
