I got this recipe from annies-eats.com, and it was really quite good. This is a keeper and a great weeknight meal. It probably gets about a 7.8. I have noted my changes below in bold.

Salmon Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

Yield: about 4 servings

Ingredients

For the salmon:

· 4 (6 oz.) salmon fillets, deboned

· Olive oil

· Salt and pepper I used a mustard honey glaze on my salmon, and it was awesome. I took 3 T. spicy brown mustard, 1 1/2 T. honey, 2 cloves minced garlic and salt and made a paste and then put that on the salmon before I cooked it.

For the dressing:

· ¼ cup olive oil

· ¼ cup white wine vinegar I decreased this by 1 Tb.

· 2 tbsp. low fat Greek yogurt I used buttermilk instead

· 1 tbsp. honey

· 1½ tbsp. Dijon mustard I used spicy brown, but dijon would be super good.

· Salt and pepper, to taste

For the salad:

· Mixed salad greens and/or lettuce (about 16 oz.)

· 4 hardboiled eggs, peeled

· 1-2 ripe avocados

· Thinly sliced red onion

· Sliced or quartered grape or cherry tomatoes I also added green peas.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F.  Line a baking sheet with foil.  Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet skin side down.  Brush the top sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Transfer to the oven and bake until the internal temperature reaches 145˚ F, about 12-15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, make the salad dressing. Combine the oil, vinegar, yogurt, honey, and mustard in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.  Whisk rapidly until well combined and emulsified.  Season with salt and pepper, and adjust seasonings to taste.

3. Slice the hardboiled eggs and the avocados.  To serve, plate portions of salad greens on salad plates.  Top with the egg, avocado, tomatoes and red onion as desired.  Remove the salmon fillets from the skin and then transfer use to top the salads.  Flake or slice gently.  Drizzle lightly with the mustard vinaigrette.  Serve immediately.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -

This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
