Recipes From Grandmother and My Mother

It is wonderful to think of the amazing women in my life on Mother’s Day and always. Here I am pictured with my paternal and maternal grandmothers. Both women are amazing. They raised large families on small incomes and had to be resourceful and hard working. They are both loving, charitable women whom I look up to very much. I am so grateful for their examples and many lessons they have taught me. My grandmother on the right with the beautiful silvery white hair is the one who taught me how to make these recipes…

Baked or Broiled Salmon Recipe. My grandfather was an avid fisherman and this is the recipe that my grandmother used to cook up his salmon catch. My grandparents used to be hunting guides and would feed this fish recipe to the hunters. It was always a camp favorite. I had some slamon in my freezer from Zaycon so I was excited to try out this recipe again!

This Zucchini Bread recipe is fabulous because it was passed down from my great-grandma to my grandma to me! I love my grandmothers cooking. She is wonderful at cooking from scratch and using ingredients from her garden!

Now this woman in the middle pictured between my two grandmothers  is not my sister, she is my mother. Doesn’t she look fab? She is a strong, independent caring woman. She would do anything for her children. Here is a recipe that she passed down to my little sister.

Peanut Butter Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

I remember my mom making these when I was a child, but it was not a recipe I gleaned before I left the house. Sure glad my sister posted it for all of us to enjoy!

Happy Mother’s Day Mothers!

What the Yoder’s Ate For Dinner

I’m not very good about posting recipes we make each week. Because I feel like what we eat is pretty boring.  Dinner time has never been my forte, but I wanted people to see that my family doesn’t just eat processed foods.  Here’s what we had for dinner tonight:

 

We enjoyed wood plank smoked Salmon from Zaycon Foods (I told you how last Father’s Day gift was the best ever, didn’t I?), as well as smoked chicken (again, thank you Zaycon Foods  - which now delivers nation wide) with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce we snagged last night at Fred Meyer for $1.  We also enjoyed some corn from Costco and I made some homemade mashed potatoes.   Thanks to my Super Hubs for workin the grill like magic!

My grandfather was an avid fisherman and this is the recipe that my grandmother used to cook up his salmon catch. My grandparents used to be hunting guides and would feed this fish recipe to the hunters. It was always a camp favorite. I had some slamon in my freezer from Zaycon so I was excited to try out this recipe again!

It does not take very many ingredients to make a tasty salmon. Hopefully you already have all of these in your pantry.

Ingredients:

Salmon {I for my salmon from Zaycon}
Soy Sauce {Kikkoman Coupon}
Lemon Pepper
Seasoning Salt
Miracle Whip

Start by drizzling with soy sauce

Sprinkle with a layer of lemon pepper

Sprinkle with a layer of seasoning salt. I used Johnny’s we have also used Lawrys.

Spread a thin layer of miracle whip over the top.

Be sure that you have put a layer of foil down for easy clean up. Now it is ready to broil. Place it in your oven on the top rack and broil on low-med for 15-20 minutes. Or bake for 10-15 at 350º. How do you know when Salmon is done?  Look for a change in color from a translucent bright pink to a more opaque whiter pink. When it’s somewhat firm to the touch, pull it out. Feel the salmon when its raw, and you should be able to see the texture of it, when its cooked its not soft and spongy anymore, its firm, but still has some give to it. Test it with a fork and it should be flaky and easy to open. If your fork comes out wet keep baking.
