Salmon Stuffed Zucchini

-

I had this on my menu for later in the week but decided last minute to make it last night. I had zucchini that needed to be used and another cabbage to be turned into coleslaw. This was soooo good!! My family really enjoyed this meal.

I started with a few large size zucchini .. the ones with too many seeds to use for muffins or other baked goods. I also had a few yellow squash as well. I made a double batch of my salmon patty recipe: http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/06/salmon-or-tuna-patties-for-freezer.html  I cut my zucchini (and yellow squash) in half the long way and scooped out the seeds. I used the salmon patty mixture to stuff them. I put them on a large tray and baked them at 350 for about 45 minutes.



While they were baking I cut up 3 large sweet potatoes, 2 medium size potatoes, the leftover ends of the zucchini and yellow squash and one large onion. I put them in a bowl, drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. I spread this out on a tray…



After the salmon zucchini were done I put the veggies in the oven to roast at 400 for about 40 minutes. While they were roasting I made a batch of coleslaw: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/coleslaw1.htm  

When the veggies were done it was time to serve dinner….

    That really does look good to me! I sorrowfully haven't trained my youngest to like this kind of cooking. I need to introduce her more to it. I have learned that the only way to like something is to just do it, until you tolerate it, then you eventually can't do without it. That's true with anything, good or bad. Those ARE great pictures, Sierra!

    Great Idea. I've had zucchini stuffed with everything but never thought of using salmon.

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my
