So you don't put bread crumbs in the mix to bind it, just on the outside? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2585263 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 08:02:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 2585263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@YogiRunner: I don’t follow any recipe and use what I have on hand mostly to make them (which makes them really versitile), but the basic gist is to take leftover salmon (or you can use canned cooked salmon), chunk/”shred” it with a fork and add herbs, something to bind it (bit of mayo if desired or lemon juice, an egg) and then a couple of the following: onion family (any type of onion, scallions, chives, shallots), garlic, minced peppers, capers, etc.</p> <p>Combine, shape into patties and dredge in panko (or flour and cornmeal), and then either fry until brown on each side or bake until browned on each side (takes about 7 minutes per side to fry up).</p> <p>Last night’s were the leftover sockeye, shallots, red/yellow pepper, dill, garlic, lemon juice and an egg and dredged in flour and cornmeal because I was out of panko. </p> <p>I also made a “cheaters” garlic/dill aioli – just sour cream with lemon juice, dill and garlic mixed in. </p> [attach=1754/16/oa989c.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2585262 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 08:00:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2585262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night, Southern fare at Paschal's in Atlanta.

Top the burger with pre-made gauc salsa and the sautéed veggies. Yum.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2585155 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 21:38:36 +0000 tofuwad 2585155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: this looks awesome! I'm definitely making this this week.</p> <p>Today was shirataki noodles with zoodles and turkey meatballs in marinara. </p> <p>Swedish meatballs and steamed broccoli (this is just steamed broccoli and I make a cream gravy and reuse leftover turkey meatballs).</p> <p>Burritos with ground turkey, black beans, salsa, avocado and cilantro.</p> <p>Then I think I'll make tortilla pizzas with BBQ sauce, chicken breast and cilantro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2585129 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:37:37 +0000 ellewoods84 2585129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made this and it is really easy to prep and doesn't take too long to cook. <a href="http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/05/southwest-chicken-skillet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/05/southwest-chicken-skillet/</a><br /> It's so yummy and it makes a lot so we always have leftovers. The only thing is that whenever I make it, I only let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes....otherwise the rice gets really dry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2585125 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:32:47 +0000 MrsSCB 2585125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corn chowder and watermelon with goat cheese, lime juice and mint.

Do you thaw before cooking? That's a good idea to have on hand. I usually buy chicken breasts in the vacuum packs to have in the freezer but I haven't been to Costco in forever. </p> <p>@Canoli: I wouldn't mind the cooking so much if someone else would plan the meal and deliver the ingredients, and then take care of my children while I do the cooking, then clean up afterwards. Is that really too much to ask?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-153#post-2584924 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 15:41:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 2584924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working out a salad with kasha, shredded chicken, and arugula.

It's always flavorful and we love it. We eat it as fish tacos or just on its own. Toss it in the oven for 20 minutes or so, throw together a steamed veggie and pre-cook a starch for the week (rice, noodles, etc). </p>
