Here's to a New Blog

I felt like I was writing about food a lot on No, I'm Not Kim Possible. So I decided to just make a separate blog to share what I've been cooking lately. Some things will turn out AWESOME...while some will be utterly disastrous. I'll share them all though:)

Tonight we had salmon patties, lima beans, and rice. The important things here are the salmon and the limas, because rice is pretty easy.

I actually tried a new recipe tonight for the salmon. Normally I just use the recipe on the label. Here's what you need:

  • 2 Tbs Dijon mustard
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 can salmon (drain and debone it)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup crackers (crushed)
  • ***you can use all cracker or all cornmeal, I just like the mixture***
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1  Tbs minced garlic
  • 1/2 Cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, 
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup mayo
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oil for frying
Start by beating you eggs.

Then add in the mayo and mustard. Combine well.

Add in paprika, garlic, and salt and pepper. 

I like to crumble my salmon in a separate bowl and salt and pepper it. 

Add salmon to liquid mixture.

Add dry ingredients and mix well. It should form a pretty solid ball that holds together.

Heat oil to medium heat in a skillet.

Scoop out tablespoon sized balls of salmon, flatten between palms, and gently drop into oil.

Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes each side (or until golden brown and crispy).

Remove to paper towel lined plate.

Serve with ketchup (or your favorite dipping sauce).


Here's my secret to lima beans: salt, pepper, butter. That's it. Just follow the directions on the bag (frozen is best!) and add a bunch of butter and some salt and pepper. Don't get too complicated.
