Emerging from a hole and this and that!

The nausea is getting more manageable and I have begun stepping into the kitchen again! Thank you, Lord! I hope to start putting up more recipes in the days to come, but until then I thought I would pass on some recipes I have found online and really loved. Hopefully it will help if you're having trouble with this weeks meal planning.

P-Dub's chicken parmigiana. This was so easy and everyone loved it, you may even want to serve them with her rosemary dinner rolls - super delish and very easy.

Bronzed sea bass with lemon shallot butter. I made mine with cod from the frozen section at Sam's - cut me some slack, I live in a small town :) Be careful not to use too much oil when cooking the fish and to use a lower heat when making the butter sauce. I messed those two elements up and this was still wonderful! I served mine with mashed potatoes and veggies. This was a recipe from Pastor Ryan, a contributor to The Pioneer Woman, and everything I have made of his has been met with rave reviews! He is also doing a food week at his blog, and today he had some great tips!

And who could leave out good ol' Paula Deen? My husband loves banana pudding, and while I can usually do without it, this takes banana pudding to a whole new level! It really isn't Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding!

Hope you all have a wonderful week! Happy eating!

Maple Glazed Salmon & Sweet Potato Gaufrettes

This is a staple in our home. Hope you like it as much as we do!

MAPLE GLAZED SALMON:
1/2c. maple syrup
1/4c. soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
1/2t. garlic salt
1/4t. pepper
4 salmon fillets

Mix together the above ingredients and marinate the fish in it. The recipe says to do this for 30 minutes, but I do it for 8 hours or so. I just think it tastes better that way!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.


I always serve our salmon with sweet potato gaufrettes. So simple and so yummy! For two people I will use one large sweet potato. Clean the sweet potato - no need to peel it! Slice the sweet potato about 1/4 inch thick and put them on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and throw on some sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

Put the sweet potatoes and fish in the oven for 20 minutes. Your fish will be well done, adjust cooking time so the fish is done to your liking!

Enjoy!
