Sometimes I chop a little onion and add to the salmon with fresh

parsley.  Sometimes I will add just a touch of mustard.  Any way I make them they seem to turn out good.  I usually just make them with egg white instead of the whole egg, but sometimes will add the egg yolk as well.  I love salmon and make it frequently for myself as well.

Vidalia Onion Cornbread (from Paula Deen)

1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix

1/2 stick butter

1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup whole milk

1 cup sour cream

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp dill weed (which I leave out)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.

I double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or even 11x15 pan and it comes out great. And to keep the cheese from getting too dark, I add it the last 10 minutes instead of at the beginning. So yummy!

Second favorite is corn casserole, very similar to the onion cornbread.

Corn Casserole

1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix

8 oz sour cream

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 egg

1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)

1 can cream-style corn

1 stick of butter

Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in a 400-degree oven. Meanwhile, mix the corn muffin mix, juice from whole kernel corn, egg, and sour cream until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and pour into dish with butter. Stir slightly to mix in the butter. Bake 30-45 minutes or until set in the middle.

Again, I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 9x13 pan; however, do not double the butter or it is too greasy.

sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad.  All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden.  You guys posted lots of yummy plans. 

I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.

I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one.  Hadn't had one since I was a kid.  I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside.  Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch.  Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy!  The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP.  We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out.  The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that. 

I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water.  I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself.  The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely.  I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible.  Hope she feels better soon!

He had such loving parents these last months of his life and you did everything you could for him. 

At the cremation place they gave me this card.

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.  When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.  There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.  All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.  Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in or dreams of days and times gone by.  The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.  They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.  Their bright eyes are intent.  Their eager body quivers.  Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them faster and faster.  You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.  The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

All suggestions posted area great.  Don't forget to add in fresh stuff.  A head of iceberg lettuce is pretty inexpensive most days, especially with summer coming.  How about getting seeds and planting a garden?  You can start the seeds indoors right about now and they'll be ready to go outside in a month or so.

This is a great site, too.

Lots of really good frugal ideas.

I just bought a bunch of stuff to make breakfast burritos with - which is one of my favorite food groups.  24 eggs, a large package of Jimmy Dean sausage, 2 bags of cheese, 1 large tub of red chile, 30 tortillas and 5 pounds of potatoes only cost $22 and change.  I figure I'll get at least 25, possibly 30 burritos out of it.  I'm assembling them and sticking them in the freezer as one of my projects today.

Drizzled over the fruit that browns will keep it from browning...or at least I think anyway.  Never take cooking advice someone who messes up hard boiled eggs.
