Honey Garlic Lime Salmon

I'd been feeling too busy and stressed lately, so I determined that I needed to get back to my happiest place on earth - the kitchen. Now, getting caught up on the past week's recipes to file and share. :)

I decided to make a baked Honey Garlic Lime Salmon with baked Honey Garlic Carrots and Baked Broccoli & Parmesan. I first baked the carrots on half a cookie sheet for 15 minutes then added the broccoli for another 10 minutes. Then I used a second cookie sheet (with parchment paper underneath) for the salmon. Additional recipes posted separately.

Carrot Salad

A couple of weeks ago, the hubby harvested carrots from our garden--a big basket full! I decided to explore the world of recipes that contain carrots. This is the first of many that I tried; very pleased with all of them. It didn't really feel like we had a daily ration of carrots because of the multiple ways they can be served and prepared.


This one was easy because I used the shredder attachment on my Kitchenaid, just added a few ingredients and boom! Instant salad. I love honey and apple cider vinegar as a healthy option. The great thing is that this particular salad will keep in the fridge for several days. If I took this to a potluck, it would feel like cheating because it was so effortless.

Honey Lavender Ice Cream

My neighbor gave me some lavender from her garden last season and I promised to make her lavender ice cream. I’d been wanting the Kitchenaid Mixer Ice Cream Attachment and Target had it on sale this week. The attachment is a huge time, space, and rock salt/ice saver. It’s exciting to think that we can have homemade ice cream any day of the week.

As far as the recipe, it is AMAZING! The flavors of honey and lavender with cream is hard to describe. Let’s just say it’s scrumptious. Definitely an extra special treat if you’re having guests. So excited to share this with my neighbor and show her how versatile her lavender is.

Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

I had leftover chicken that was seasoned with McCormick "Smokehouse Maple" and wanted a quick and easy recipe that also used the broccoli I had in the fridge. I recently upgraded my Wok, so I decided it was time to break it in. :) I ended up adding red pepper, celery, sesame oil and extra soy sauce. The honey was the perfect ingredient for this wonderful stir fry. I also used the rice cooker for Jasmine rice. This one had very little leftover--gobbled up with seconds and thirds. ;)

Thanksgiving Menu 2016

Thanksgiving morning started with welcoming 2 rescue donkeys to our 4 legged family. Then our meal was planned and enjoyed by the members of Taste of Home; my selections were based on the requests of the boys. I really like their recipe box and shopping list feature. It makes it easy to get what you need from the grocery store and pull up all the recipes at once. The only exception were the 2 pies from my "Baking at High Altitude" cookbook, Noble Pig's Dill Pickle Dip and Rachael Ray's White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. As have many in the past, this was a truly blessed year.
