Salmon Barbecue


Last weekend, we had an end-of-the-summer big barbecue bash.  Bruce brought back a freezer full of fish after going to the same fishing spot I wrote about in my post in 2012 Salmon Barbecue called the Outpost in British Columbia on Queen Charolette Island by the West Coast Fishing Club.  

He brought home a total of 4 King salmon, 4 Coho salmon, 35 pounds of halibut and 10 pounds of red snapper (you can see why they are called red snapper...)





So, our end-of-the-summer barbecue was again, featuring our favorite of all foods, King salmon. We invited 30 of our friends over for a fish feast since good food is meant to be shared. 

Everybody brought a side dish to contribute to the feast and we had so much delicious food like these salads from peoples' gardens, such bounty!

I made my cheesy potatoes and cheddar jalapeño and chive biscuits that go so well with salmon.


We also had some awesome desserts like this beautiful carrot cake


as well as a homemade carrot cake and a fruit torte.

I also put out a loaf of my lemon zucchini bread that I made earlier and had in the freezer.


We prepared the salmon a couple of different ways this time.  We did our usual King salmon with sliced onions

and barbecued it until the internal temperature reached 110 degrees and then we removed it and covered it with foil and let it sit for 10 minutes.  I decided to marinate some Coho salmon with my favorite teriyaki sauce and it was a big hit.

It disappeared really fast!  I think this might have to be my "go-to" recipe for all salmon now after seeing how it was devoured!  

I do admit, it was very tasty.  The teriyaki was not over powering at all but more a subtle flavor that just complimented the delicious salmon taste.  Everyone loved it.

We got our fill of delicious summer salads and barbecued salmon, a great way to end our summer.


Now, on to canning more tomatoes, plums, pears, making apple butter and applesauce, grape jelly, more zucchini bread, eating more of our super sweet watermelon...fall is now in full force!

Meatloaf by Mark Bittman

Once again, I turned on the television yesterday and saw that Mark Bittman was on the Today show and was making his version of  meatloaf .  This must be meatloaf season.  It was surprisingly similar to the  Pioneer Woman's version  who was also recently on.   I was a little surprised of his version because Mark Bittman is into healthy eating and has lost a lot of weight and improved his health by changing his diet which he writes about in his book,  Food Matters .  His meatloaf recipe also included bacon and cheese!  I must be doing something wrong.  The thing to remember, which he writes about in his book, is that you can eat healthy without going extreme or changing your whole life.    If you don't know who Mark Bittman is, he is a food writer and a four star chef with multiple cookbooks who loves to eat but changed his food philosophy to improve his health.  He tells his story in Food Matters and provides a plan for responsible eating that covers a no-nonsense rundown on

Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't have very many gluten-free cookies on my blog because quite frankly, I usually don't like gluten-free.  But occasionally, I do find a good recipe and this is one that is from the back of the Trader Joe's oatmeal and it's a good one.  My friend brought some over to our house last weekend when Nick and family were here for our birthday celebrations  and we all loved them. My friends lives a few blocks away and we walk the neighborhood together on weekends.  We can easily go 5 miles in no time, talking non-stop.  She loves exploring our neighborhood as much as I do and we discover so many favorite little spots.  We even found a property with a horse (or more like a pony, I should say.)   The views are always quite lovely, too.  Bruce and I had our thirty-ninth wedding anniversary on July 18th and I made a point of walking past the house where we had our wedding reception.  I told my friend, "Thirty-nine years ago today, there was a big party g

Spinach Stuffed Cod

Last night, I was in the mood for a healthy dinner so decided to experiment with a recipe I found from a blog called Creative in My Kitchen . Lauren and Ari brought us French cookies back from their trip to Paris and I basically inhaled them. They were so good! We were cat-sitting their two cats while they were gone. They liked lounging in the strangest places...  I found one of their toys while I was cleaning so Lauren stopped by last night to pick it up on her way home from work. I was experimenting with this recipe which originally called for chicken breast but I thought it sounded good to substitute fish instead since I'm always looking for good fish recipes. We all thought it was totally delicious. When I went to the grocery store, they had Icelandic cod on sale so I bought about 2 pounds of that. You could use any white fish for this recipe such as:                                                                   true cod or other cod rockfish halibut had
