This was another good set of recipes! I didn’t get to make them until Monday night, but everything came together quickly for a weekday.
Also, as Martin pointed out, this meal is deliciously Keto. If you somehow haven’t heard of the Keto diet, my brilliant cousin has a write-up about it on her blog HERE. Whether you are on Keto or not, this meal is undeniably healthy & delicious.
050. Salmon in Parchment:
I thought the taste of this was great! I liked how the oranges made it a little sweet and went well with the salmon and veggies without being overpowering.
I added green & yellow squash to my salmon because I’m pretty unoriginal and I couldn’t think of anything better. Next time I think I’d like to try how a variety of vegetables cook if they’ve usually got different cooking times.
I used foil because I didn’t have enough parchment paper. I don’t have a lot of notes about this because it really was so easy to make.
071. Fresh Herb Vinaigrette:
Another easy recipe! I used a combination of fresh thyme and dried basil and oregano. Shallots were in the recipe again; this book seems to like them.
I liked the ease of everything going into one mason jar that I can store the leftovers in. I feel like I could potentially have several different versions in the fridge which would be fun.
My favorite part of this book/experience is the opportunity for variety. They give you some alternatives, which opens up my creativity and makes me want to experiment and try new things.
Any new pics I get will go here.

027. Deluxe Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & 076. Fresh Tomato Soup
I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches. And tomato soup. And especially the 2 together. The weather is supposed to be terrible, so I’m looking forward to staying warm with homemade soup. Like always, thank y’all so much for your participation! I hope you’re having at least a little bit of fun with this.
I enjoyed the salmon dish a lot and will make it again!
I like doing an herb vignette, and like it using lemon juice too. I am usually lazy and reach for the bottle of Ranch.
Rae came to Kerrville on Friday and agreed to work on the salmon recipe. The only thing I had in the house was parchment paper. Rae went to our HEB and picked up asparagus, yellow and red peppers, carrots and salmon. Very good combination. We liked the orange slices too. Ours was done in 20 minutes, so check for doneness. A keeper for sure.
Salmon in paper:
Two servings in one foil wrapping – thought we had parchment, but no.
Yellow squash & sweet pepper for veggies
Fresh Oregano
Too much food in one package – slow to cook. Better smaller pieces.
Baked for 30 min, then 20 more, then 2 in microwave.
Fish was perfect after that. Veggies were good too.
I think sauté the veggies first, and add celery. Better flavor.
Oregano was a little strong. Maybe dill instead?
So some tweaking will help next time.
Salmon was still delicious.
