Hi All. Did you notice the new look? So…. didn’t Cory do a terrific job? I read other food blogs and a few of them changed their headers. I loved their new looks and made note of the person responsible for such great work. It’s http://zestycook.com/ (see the blog roll linked to my fav. blog of his – making caramel apples!). If you have a blog and want a change… contact Zesty! I’m thrilled!
Since I had an afternoon apt. today, I stayed at work through lunch and brought the standard salad with tuna. But then got a yen for something sweet and chewy (not good when my appointment was with the dentist!). I went for a yummy, somewhat healthy treat…

These Kashi GoLean Rolls are right up my alley. Love em.

Salmon Burgers
Tonight’s salmon burger serves about 3 – 4 .
- 1/4 cup each green pepper, red pepper – chopped
- 1 7 oz pkt. Pink Salmon
- 1 chopped green onion
- 1 TBS hummus
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon.
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Egg White
- 2 slices of Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb Cheese
- 1/4 cup Thick and Rough Silver Palate Oats
- 1 TBS olive oil (I used my infused, flavorful blend)
Combine everything except the olive oil. Let sit about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soak up some moisture. You might want to put it in the fridge. Heat skillet over medium-heat and add your olive oil. Add a large serving spoon of salmon mixture to the hot skillet, flatten with spatula to form patty. There just isn’t enough binder to enable you to pre form patties. Cook about 5 min then flip. They may break. Simply pat with spatula to reform your patty. Cook 5 min. more. I enjoyed mine topped with salsa for extra zip.
With the salmon, I made Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Garlic, Olives, and Red Pepper Flakes.
- 1 bunch Broccoli Rabi
- 2 TBS Olive oil (flavored if you have it)
- 2 garlic cloves (slice them thin)
- 1 TBS sliced calamata olives
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
- Salt, pepper to taste
- 1 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
Boil water on high heat and add salt. Trim broccoli rabe and cut leaves and stems into 2 ” pieces. Add to boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Set aside. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and add the garlic, olives and red pepper. Saute about 1 minute. Don’t burn your garlic. Add the broccoli rabe, and cook (you don’t have to dry it before adding to your oil-garlic skillet). Toss it around until it begins to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Add your salt and pepper TT, reduce heat to low and simmer about 4 minutes. Add a little lemon juice, 1 tsp, drizzle with more oil and serve.
Tender Salmon Patty with Broccoli Rabe
Now, if you remember our road trip BACK from South Carolina, we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts and ordered the egg white flatbread sandwich – mine was suppose to be the veggie…blah, blah…remember? The server mislabeled the order and I (the vegetarian) got the TURKEY! GAG! Well, Dunkin made good.
