What’s Your Favorite Fish Recipe?

Filed under: Main, Seafood — Susanne @ 1:18 pm

Since today is Good Friday and I was raised catholic, I’m going to prepare some fish for dinner. Depending on the weather, I usually bake it or cook it on the grill. Since it’s supposed to be rainy today, we’re having some baked white fish fillets for dinner.

By far my favorite is to wrap a salmon fillet in some aluminum foil with some lemon and dill and then either bake it or cook it on the grill (in the foil) until it is done.

How about you? What’s your favorite fish fillet? Submit your recipe as a comment below.

What Can I Make With Oysters

Filed under: Main, Meats, Seafood — Susanne @ 4:41 pm

Steamed OystersWe’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach lately and since this is Oyster season, we’ve splurged and got a whole bushel of local oysters. They are absolutely fabulous raw and steamed, but even so there’s only so often I can eat them and we have barely made a dent in this huge bag of oysters.

My favorite way to eat them is to just steam them, dip them in a little melted butter and eat them, but I’m sure there’s a lot more you can do with them. Do you have a good recipe for oyster stew? How do you fry them and what else do you make with fresh oysters? I’d love to hear your ideas and recipes, so please leave them as a comment below.

What Can I Make With Ground Beef?

Filed under: Main, Meats — Susanne @ 6:10 pm

Ground beef of one sort or another almost always seems to be on sale at one of the stores in town. It’s also usually one of the cheapest meats to buy and pretty versatile. I usually keep a few packs of it in my freezer and use them for anything from burgers and meatloaf to spaghetti with meat sauce, but to be hones, we are starting to get a little tired of the same standard hamburger dishes.

I’m looking for some fresh recipes and ideas that use ground beef - will you help me and my family out? Please post your favorite recipes as a comment below.

What Can I Make With Canned Tuna?

Filed under: Canned, Main, Seafood — Susanne @ 11:00 am

We like to make tuna salad sandwiches for lunch every once in a while. For the past few weeks we had been out of canned tuna, so I stocked up on the them and bought 10 cans. Then hubby came home from grocery shopping with quite a few more (he didn’t notice that I already bought some last week). So we now have a pantry full of canned tuna.

I usually drain the tuna well, mix it with a little mayo, a splash of pickle juice, some shopped pickles, salt and pepper. Then server it on bread or rolls.

What else can I make with canned tuna? I’d love to hear some of your favorite recipes.

What Can I Make with Leftover Turkey?

Filed under: Main, Meats — Susanne @ 8:28 am

I found this great list that gives several ideas about what you can possibly do after the Thanksgiving, Christmas holidays or any time you decide to make a big ole turkey and have leftovers. Thanks to my friend at www.HealthyMenuMailer.com for permitting us to publish it.

Please add your comments, as well!

Sandwiches
This is our family favorite. Simply slather mayonnaise on your favorite bread and add turkey. Enjoy! Of course, you can make this sandwich fancier by using toasted garlic bread, or adding some seasonings to the mayonnaise. You can quickly whip up some gourmet style mayo by adding some of the packet ranch dressing mix to it.

Instead of regular old sliced bread, make turkey sandwiches with fresh or chiabata bread for a different taste.

Turkey and Rice Soup
Use the leftover bones from the turkey and throw them in a large stock pot. Cover them with plenty of water and add some onion, carrot, celery and salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil and boil for about 45 min. Strain out the liquid, return it to the pot, add some rice and leftover pieces of turkey. Add any vegetables you like as well and cook until the rice and veggies are tender.

Open Faced Turkey Sandwich
Start with some really good toast. Rub a little garlic or butter on it if you’d like. Then, lay slices of turkey on it and cover with gravy. Heat up some left over stuffing and stick it in the toaster oven or your regular oven to give it a nice little crust and dinner is ready.

Turkey Wraps
Tired of turkey sandwiches? Use a tortilla instead. Pile on lettuce, raw veggies and plenty of turkey. Top with some ranch dressing and roll it up for a portable lunch or snack. Another fun idea is to mix shredded turkey with a little mayonnaise, some chopped apple, grapes and a few walnuts for a turkey Waldorf salad wrap.

Turkey Enchiladas
You can fix turkey enchiladas just like you would chicken enchiladas with your favorite sauce, tortillas and cheese. Just shred the turkey, and heat it with some enchilada sauce and cheese. Spoon the mixture on flour or corn tortillas and roll them up. Place the tortilla rolls in a greased baking dish and top with more enchilada sauce and plenty of cheese. Then bake them up until the cheese is nice and bubbly. They are a great way to use turkey in something that has a completely different flavor.

Turkey Chili
Shred your leftover turkey and cook it along with beans, tomatoes and your favorite chili seasonings. Of course you can also toss in any leftover veggies like green beans or corn and cook them right along with the rest of the chili ingredients. Serve with warm, buttery cornbread.

Turkey Salad
Make a gorgeous, colorful salad, using all the vegetables you can find in the store. Add sliced turkey to the top and add your favorite salad dressing. Or make a turkey Caesar salad with turkey, romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing.

What Can I Make with HOT DOGS?

Filed under: Meats — Susanne @ 3:23 pm

I don’t eat much meat, and hadn’t eaten hot dogs for probably 10 years. Last week, my husband bought some Turkey Dogs from the grocery store that I really like. The kids love them, too.

I tried to get creative with them, but I’m just not coming up with any recipes or ideas other than slapping the hot dogs onto a bun and putting ketchup and mustard on it.

Any creative moms out there have tips for me? What can I make with HOT DOGS?
