Salmon Recipes: Valuable Source Of Omega-3 And The Ultimate Gastronomical Delight! by Betty Mouat
Salmon Recipes have emerged as a hot favorite among countless fish-food lovers across the globe. If you are looking to include some flavorsome dishes in your diet but dont want to gain weight, salmon recipes are definitely the best option!
Salmon recipes are amazingly tasty and high in nutritional levels. Salmon recipes are rich in protein and contain the essential fats, or rather, the good fats�. Surprisingly, a certain amount of salmon can fulfill your entire days Vitamin D requirement. In fact, salmon is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are the real players behind the high nutritional-value present in this delectable food-item.
Salmon can be cooked in a number of ways. A salmon recipe can be grilled or prepared in various methods. However, a salmon recipe tastes best if cooked with fresh salmon. Fresh salmon can be identified by their clear eyes and clean red or pink gills. Salmon recipes can be prepared with farmed salmon and canned salmon as well.
Salmon recipes offer the most striking variety when compared to other fish. Some of the most popular salmon recipes are discussed in this article. Sockeye Red Salmon is one of the most popular choices from the Salmon family when it comes to preparing delicious and healthy salmon recipes. The chief ingredients of one particular dish are sockeye salmon fillets; some special pre-made sauces such as Yoshidas Gourmet Sauce, a zip lock bag (large), aluminum foil and a small wire grill. Marinate the fish, cook on the grill and then wrap in the aluminum foil when you serve.
Salmon Dip is another popular salmon recipe. It is prepared with some sour cream, a little butter, 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped), 2 tablespoon pepper, 1 can salmon skinned and bones-removed, grated onions and some dried dill weed. Put all the ingredients together, leaving the fish, and mix with an electric mixer to make a smooth paste. Then, put in the salmon and dill. Next, cover up this salmon recipe and refrigerate until you serve.
An interesting aspect of salmon recipes is that since the preparation of the dish involves an oily fish, most recipes include a variety of sauces, rub and marinades. Moreover, at times salmon recipes are covered with pesto or are served with limejuice toppings as well. Dill is the most common herb consumed along with salmon, together with several vegetables and mushrooms.
One delicious salmon recipe with dill as the primary ingredient is the Grilled Dilled Salmon recipe. The ingredients of this recipe are Salmon fillets, sweetener or brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, a bunch of fresh dill, vegetable oil, pepper, olive oil and salt to taste. Put some sweetener on the salmon, followed by adequate amount of salt and vinegar. Then put enough olive oil on the chopped dill with some added salt and black pepper. Toss the entire preparation and wrap the fish with the dill, marinate it for at least half an hour; you can even keep it overnight. Heat the grill and oil it well. With the skin side down, put the salmon on the grill. Cook it till it turns opaque or obtains the shape you require. Make sure the fish is cooked properly. Interestingly, this particular salmon recipe contains about only 1-gram of carbohydrate, with essentials proteins, fiber, and calories in it.
Another special salmon recipe for all lovers of baked-food is Oven Baked Salmon with Herbs�. In this dish, the chief ingredients are salmon filet, some fresh herbs, a bit of pepper, 1-tablespoon oil, and some salt. Remove all the bones from the fish and season it with some oil on both sides. Get the herb finely chopped and mix it with some salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 200 F and put the fish on it. Remember to smear some oil on the platter too. Bake it for almost 45 minutes and then serve with homemade sauces. This salmon recipe brings you the essential amount of protein and calories with practically no carbs.
Now, since salmon is rich in Omega-3 fats and is affirmed as a nutritious food, salmon recipes surely have great value! Salmon also contains B12, niacin, and selenium and is high on B6 and magnesium. On the other hand, calcium content is rich in canned salmon. Moreover, intake of salmon recipes helps to bring down inflammation, which again helps you to prevent certain serious diseases such as diabetes, heart-diseases, arthritis and many types of cancer. Additionally, the Omega-3 fats present in the fish assists in avoiding strokes, preventing blood-clots and bring down aggression and depression.
So, are you ready to feast on mouthwatering salmon recipes and lead a healthier life?

Cooking Food Recipe
Getting Kids Cooking by Shauna Hanus
Getting your kids to help in the kitchen is a bear for most parents. Just as any mom or dad knows playing is simply more fun than kitchen duties. For my kids the end of dinner is always a time to complain, mope and have the need for an "emergency" bathroom break.
Then once the dishes are done off they go to hide from the dreaded chore maker until its time to read a story or play a game.
Just recently a miracle happened in my kitchen, my seven year old cooked. I am not talking about pouring a bowl of cereal or stirring the noodles I mean she really cooked.
This particular afternoon I had been sitting at my computer working on my latest cookbook about leftover turkey when I got the urge to cook. I got up and went down to the kitchen to see what could be whipped up with what was on hand.
This is when she came in. She asked if she could help and instead of my usual list of get this from the fridge or do this I simply said do you want to do it. She said "you mean I can cook it all". When I said yes she was hooked.
That afternoon we invented a recipe for sweetened pecan cinnamon custard. I must caution you the resulting recipe was terrible. No one ate it, but my seven year old declared that she 'sure was happy when I let her do all of it'.
Now that you know the trick here is a fun and easy recipe that kids like and will get your kids away from the TV and into the kitchen.
Muddy Crescent Dogs
One can of package crescent rolls 8 hot dogs, preferably good tasting hot dogs Ketchup
Instruct your child to turn the oven on to 350ยบ Fahrenheit. Remember kids still need help with the oven. I was nine when I caught my mother's oven on fire, but that's another story.
Have your child get out a cookie sheet.
Next have your child open the can of crescent rolls. If this is his/her first time opening the crescent rolls warn them that the can may make a loud noise when it first opens. The loud "pop" always sends my youngest into a fit of laughter when her sister squeals.
Now have your child roll out each of the crescents on the cookie sheet.
Now have your child open the package of hot dogs. Once open have him/her place one hot dog on each crescent.
Now comes the mud. Instruct you child to cover each hot dog with "mud", the ketchup, let him/her know the more the messier so go for it.
Have your child roll up the crescent rolls around the hot dogs and place them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until browned.
This is such an easy recipe for kids and if we parents remember to let them do it all they will have such a great time that maybe just maybe someday they will cook us dinner.

Meal Planning Saves Time And Money by Toni Scott
What's for dinner? It's the first thing I hear when my kids get home from school. On a bad day, I don't have a clue. I've forgotten to take the meat out of the freezer to thaw or I didn't have anything particular in mind for weeknight dinners when I bought groceries that week.
Things are much easier when I take the time to make a plan. The best way I've found is to make a "menu calendar." I start by asking my family what they'd like to eat that week. Inevitably the 9 year-old pipes up, "I want spaghetti!" The teenager always wants Fettuccini Alfredo, and my husband normally doesn't care (as long as there's meat involved!). Honestly, my kids would be thrilled if we had pasta every day, but personally, I'd like a little more variety.
I start with a list of my family's favorite meats, poultry and seafood (ground beef, chicken breasts, pork chops, and shrimp, for example). Then I match each to a favorite recipe, making sure the recipe isn't too time consuming (remember, these are mainly weeknight meals). A typical list may look like this:
Spaghetti and Meatballs Grilled Chicken Breasts Italian Meatloaf Pork Chops Veracruz Shrimp and Veggie Stirfry
Then, to round things out, I add in favorite side dishes and/or accompaniments that are easy, quick, and "mostly" healthy. Fresh veggies are great when they're in season, but good quality frozen veggies can taste just as good.
Spaghetti and Meatballs Garlic Bread Mixed Salad
Grilled Chicken Breasts Grilled Zucchini Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Italian Meatloaf Mashed Potatoes Green Beans
Pork Chops Veracruz Brown Rice Glazed Carrots
Shrimp and Veggie Stirfry (It's all there--a one dish meal!)
I assign each meal to a day of the week. This can be handwritten or typewritten and attached to the fridge with magnets, or penciled in on a family calendar in the kitchen. Just make sure it's in a place where everyone in the family can see "What's for Dinner!"
Then I take a quick inventory of my fridge, pantry, and freezer, and add all of the ingredients that I don't have on hand to my grocery list.
Remember, you can adjust the meal calendar to the number of days you cook each week. Sometimes I only have time to cook three days a week, especially during the school year when the kids have lots of after-school activities. My kids love to see a "Take Out" or "Eat Out" day on the meal calendar.
This may seem like a time-consuming process, but I promise, once you get the hang of it you'll be able to knock all of this out in about 15 minutes. And you won't believe the time and stress it will save you in the long-run. No more last minute trips to the grocery store because you don't have the ingredients on hand for a meal.
Less wilted and ruined produce in the vegetable bin that you didn't get around to cooking. Besides, you only have to do this twice a month. Crank out two weekly menu calendars and alternate them within a month.

Saving Money By Making Your Own Bread Is Easy!
by Susanne Myers
Have you seen the price of bread lately? It's enough to make one wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to make your own. You know what? It is! For the cost of a typical loaf of bread (between $2-$4), you can make more than one loaf of homemade goodness. A large bag of bread flour can make quite a few loaves with a handful of other ingredients.
You'll need some yeast, salt, sugar, milk, water, oil and maybe an egg or two, depending on your chosen recipe.
When you're at the grocery store, take a moment to look at the flour aisle. You'll see cake flour, all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and bread flour. Not all flours are created equal for every task. You may be tempted to grab the all purpose flour so you can use it for other recipes as well, but don't do it. If you're going to make bread, get the bread flour.
When making bread, there are a few things to keep in mind. Choose a basic recipe if you've never made bread before. Plan ahead. Read through the recipe a few times to familiarize yourself with the ingredients and the process. It is important to follow the recipe exactly.
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. Yeast likes a warm environment. The measuring of dry and wet ingredients is of utmost importance to create a tender, tasty loaf. Pre-measure your ingredients if you find that helpful.
Follow your recipe exactly. If it says to mix the ingredients in a certain order, do it. Making bread is a science as much as an art, and if you want your loaf to turn out the same way every time, follow the directions to the letter!
When all your ingredients are mixed, it is time to knead the dough. You will need additional flour to spread on your counter and to dip your hands in so the dough doesn't stick to you or the table top. Kneading is necessary to develop the gluten in the bread dough, mix in air for rising, and distribute the ingredients so the yeast can feed.
Yes, the yeast actually feeds on the sugars in the dough, and creates a fermentation process, which enables the dough to rise properly. The biggest rookie mistake in bread-making is not kneading the dough long enough. Use a timer if you need it. You'll want to knead the bread between 8-10 minutes.
When you are done kneading, form the dough into a ball and set in a greased bowl. Cover and let rest. Your dough will need to sit for 1-2 hours to rise. Make sure your kitchen is warm to aid the rising process.
At the end of this time, you'll want to uncover the dough, punch it down, shape the dough how you want it be when you bake it, and cover it for another rising session. When it is done rising, it is time to bake. Pre-heat your oven before baking. Once your bread is done, let it cool completely before slicing.
Once you've mastered a basic bread recipe, you can make artisan breads, French bread, herbed breads, rolls, and more.
