Sunday dinner - what's crackin???

Mack Mama,
That sounds sooooooooooo good. I'll be having protein supps, broth, jello and popsicles lol.....
The salmon croquettes- do you fry them? Are you still able to handle fried foods? That was one of the things I didn't get in before my pre-op diet that I was hoping I could still handle post surgery.... It all sounds soooo good!!! ENJOY and let me know about them croquettes.

hey there!  I can eat fried foods in moderation with no problem.  Too much and I dump.  There are still some fried foods that don't work out at all - namely fried chicken from my most favorite pre-op soul place...... have tried three times to eat it and dang near barf every time   damn I loved that chicken! LMAO

and yes - my salmon croquettes are fried - but there's no batter and I drain them on paper towels - so the oil content is minimal. 

Here's the recipe:

Salmon croquettes

 

Ingredients:

 

1 regular sized can Honey Boy Salmon NOT the skinless boneless

1 small can skinless boneless Honey Boy Salmon

½ small white onion, minced fine

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped fine

Plain Bread Crumbs

1-2 eggs

Seasonings:

Salt

Pepper

Old Bay

Cayenne Pepper

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Crushed dried Rosemary

 

Open the bigger can of salmon, drain the juice and save – then debone and skin the salmon.  Put in a bowl with the minced onion and dried rosemary.  Then open the other can of salmon – put in the bowl with previous, including the juice.  Use a fork to break up the salmon until all the salmon is evenly broken up.

 

Add the rest of the seasonings and fresh rosemary, stir the mixture well so that everything is combined – season to taste.  Then add the leftover juice, bread crumbs and egg until everything binds together enough so that if you get a tablespoon and round it off and pack it down, it will hold together to fry in hot oil.  After mixing, let it sit for 1-2 hrs to let all the flavors ‘merry’/

 

Heat a shallow pan with enough canola oil to cover the bottom (a lil more that that would be better) – use a tablespoon to measure the amounts for each croquette, round them off and pack them before sliding into the oil – they are done when they are just a bit past golden brown on both sides – you should only flip once.  (overflipping may cause them to break apart)

 

THANK YOU!!! Can't wait to try them ! Sounds delicious.

Baked chicken wings !

Southwest Chicken

2 lbs of frozen boneless skinless chicken breast
large jar of salsa
1 small can of corn (drained)
1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 block of cream cheese

throw the chicken, salsa, corn and black beans into the crockpot on high for 10 hours. The last 30 minutes of cooking, put in the entire block of cream cheese and let melt. DELISH!!!!

And don't freak out about the full fat cream cheese. The fat content is minimal considering how many servings you will get out of this dish.

That recipe sounds so good and the salmon receipe sounds good. I am going to have to put those in reserve.   

I am having stewed chicken wings and brocoli.

I just finished egg plant lasagna,  Yummy
