Salmon Croquettes

1 can salmon

2 eggs

cracker crumbs (saltines work best for me)

flour

1. Melt 2 T. butter in saucepan, add 2T flour, then pour in the liquid from the can of salmon. Let this thicken and set aside.

2. Put drained salmon in mixing bowl and add egg, several T. flour and cracker crumbs. Salt to taste and shape into croquettes.

3. Out one beaten egg into another bowl and have more cracker crumbs on a foil sheet. Dip each croquette into the egg mixture and then into the crumbs. Fry in skillet with oil. Turn until all sides are golden-brown, over med. heat.

Serve with ketchup!

Pancake Syrup

MAPLE SYRUP!

1 3/4 c. white sugar

1/4 c. brown sugar

1 c. water

Combine these in a saucepan and bring to boil, cover, and cook 1 minute. Cool slightly.

Add:

1/2t. vanilla

1/2t. maple flavoring

Cover saucepan for a few minutes as syrup cooks to melt down crystals. This helps prevent syrup from crystalizing later in storage as well.

Not over the Slump... but hopeful

I'm not completely ready to start cooking again... I don't know what happened, but sometime last year I lost my love for cooking! I just couldn't stand to do it for a while! I hope that my search for some new recipes will help encourage not only my diet, but also my love to cook!

Get ready!!!

Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken

Start with 3 or 4 frozen chicken breasts. Add an entire bottle of your favorite teriyaki marinade. Add one whole can of pineapples. Turn your crock on low for 6-8 hours.

EAT and ENJOY!!! For an extra something if you can handle the carbs, when it's cooked completely put it over brown rice!
