Recipe: Salmon Spread

-


This was delicious!!  So I just had to share it with you.. I made it last night to go with our dinner and it was a big hit..


*********************************************


 


Salmon Spread


 


8 oz. cream cheese, at room temp


7 oz. can salmon, drained & any cartilage removed (this measurement is more-or-less.. I can my own salmon so I did not actually use a can from the store and just guessed approximately how much I used)


2 T green pepper, finely chopped


2 T red pepper, finely chopped


1 t dried onion


1 t lemon juice


½ t liquid smoke


dash of dried dill


salt and pepper to taste


 


Mix softened cream cheese with all ingredients.  If the cream cheese is soft you can use a fork to mix this.  Refrigerate for a bit and serve with rye crisp (you can use crackers too.. however crackers are full of hydrogenated oils, preservatives and sugar.. ) You can find rye crisp or other crisp breads in the cracker section of the grocery store. 


 


If you are serving this to guests you can doll it up somewhat by sprinkling chopped nuts over the top.

    I do not know if you eat tuna or not but there is a recipe we love during the summer time!


    1 can of tuna drained, 1 block of cream cheese softened, 1 rib of celery finely chopped, one small onion finely chopped, one small jar of mayo (the real stuff) salt and pepper to taste. Mix together and then place in the fridge. After it has cooled, then roll into shredded cheese. Eat with crackers.


    I cheat though, I don't roll into a ball and sprinkle the cheese on top. Then I grab the bowl and the crackers and all the children and I stand around eating it!! It is soo wonderful!

    Thanks for sharing your spread!! I have a question. Do you know of a catalog that has washing soda in it. I hate to buy it over the internet, the cost to ship it is more that what the soda costs itself. I had no luck finding it here. (CA) You have helped me a lot!!

    God Bless you and your family!

    What a great idea. I just might try that out on my family; if they don\'t care for it then more left for me! :)

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 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

Dishwasher Soap Sub

One of the most common emails I receive is ladies asking if I have a good homemade substitute for dishwasher detergent. After making my own homemade laundry detergent and having such great success I was eager to try and find something that worked as well in my dishwasher. I found and tried a couple different recipes. I was not happy with the results at all. The most common recipe I came across was a combination of washing soda, borax and citric acid (some recipes used Kool-Aid in place of the citric acid). What I discovered is that this combination left a cloudy film all over my dishes that was hard as heck to remove. I quickly went back to Cascade and gave up trying to find a substitute. Well, last week I ran out of dishwasher soap. Because I live rurally just hopping in the car to run and pick up one item is out of the question. Plus, at that point my hand had not healed enough to be able to drive (I have a stick shift and could not shift with my right hand). I had
