Mock Adventures in Dinner- Tuesday Night

My recipe plan for the evening, let's see how it goes :) 

Salmon Patties
Carrots and Asparagus with Hollandaise sauce
Baked Beans
Fresh Fruit with Banana dressing
Ruby Red Tea



For the Salmon Patties I used:

1 14 oz can of Salmon
1 egg
3/4 of a cup of breadcrumbs (I prefer Italian seasoned) 
1 Tbsp of garlic

I opened the can and added all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. I mashed up the little bones with a fork, because it totally adds a neat crunchy and it adds calcium to your meal. I formed them into patties about the size of my hand (I have little hands)
I had fried some bacon to use the grease to add some flavor to the salmon. It turned out to be a mistake. The patties would not fry up properly and kept sticking to the bottom. I then waited for it to cool down and reformed them into patties. I then reformed the patties and put them on a foil lined tin for the toaster oven and broiled them for about 7 minutes. It was pretty successful.


Now, onto the next order of business:

Asparagus and carrots. I used a bag of baby carrots, and I used fresh asparagus with the ends trimmed off. I steamed them in the Rice Steamer (with the steaming basket) for 10 minutes. I used the  I opened a package of hollandaise seasoning from Stonemill and used organic plain almond milk instead of the cow's milk and made it according to the directions.


The baked beans I baked earlier:
I mixed 2 cans of pork and beans, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/8 of a cup of MockKetchup, 3 Tbsps of dehydrated minced onions, and 2 turkey dogs cut into slices into a casserole dish. I baked them for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

The Banana dressing was super simple:
1 banana, 2 tbsps of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 tsp of lemon juice whipped up in a blender.

I didn't get a pic of the beans. I forgot they were warming and I demolished the dinner before I could take a pic of them. :D 






 

scalloped cabbage!

Okay, so it totally doesn't look as yummy as it tastes. But here it goes.

1 head of cabbage cut into chunks (take out the hard stem part)

1/2 of a package of Velveeta like processed cheese food stuff

1/2 to 1 lb of bacon

1 onion (optional)

1 clove of garlic (sprinkle of garlic powder, or sprinkle of minced dehydrated garlic)

Salt

Pepper

Chop up the cabbage, leaving out the hard woody like stem part. Peel and chop up the onion. Put them into a large dutch oven like pot, and cover with water and some salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.

While it is boiling, fry up the bacon in a skillet. Fry it until the bacon is brown and crispy. Take out the pieces individually and put them on a paper towel covered plate, not dumping the grease. Let them cool for a bit and tear them into tiny pieces and set aside. Bring the grease back up to medium.

Drain the cabbage and onion in a colander. Put the cabbage back into the pot and turn the heat to medium. Pour the heated grease over the cabbage and onions. Stir and saute the mixture for about 5 minutes. Add the bacon pieces. At this point start adding the cheese stuff. Cut it into little chunks and keep stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Serve warm! :) It's sooooo yummy. Even my "I hate cabbage with a passion" husband loves it and requests it often!
