My grandson is over tonight and wants to make a salmon dish. I have a tried and true recipe so he is going to give it a whirl. It is a recipe that I have not shared here so will do a quick share:
Mister and I take a cookbook every so often and work our way through the pages, one right after another to try new things. In doing so with Cooking For Two by Pampered Chef (no longer available except through resale), we discovered this recipe. It's truly delish.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 teaspoon basil oil (or regular - I used olive) until hot. Add 4 cups coarsely chopped fresh baby spinach leaves. Season with salt and pepper. cook and stir until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Remove spinach to paper towel-lined plate. Squeeze out all excess moisture; set aside. (Yeah I forgot to take pictures of this part)
Lay one sheet of phyllo on large work surface and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place second sheet of phyllo over first, pressing sheets together to seal. Continue laying down and spraying phyllo sheets to create a stack of four sheets of phyllo. Repeat with another 4 sheets phyllo and additional cooking spray to create a second stack.
Grandpa and I meet Jen halfway to Abilene to switch out kids and this time we have Jared for a week.

8th - Good Morning Ya'll. Today we are baking and cooking. That means staying home which makes me happy too. First, however, I have to get him off the computer. Argh.
A quick stop out at the blackberry vines netted me a wonderful bowl of yumminess. However, the best part is that there are so many more still ripening. The rain has certainly been good for these plants.
4th - Jon's session starts the way Elena and Malea's ends. It's a crossover as Jen, Bekah, Jon, and Jared are in town for a variety of reasons and Jon will be staying for his turn with the grandparents. Our day has been spent working on a project for Jen (which she is almost finished with) and the kids have just kind of hung out with Grandpa, but that is behind us now and everyone except Jen is going swimming. We have located a recreation center right near our house - I know, go figure. We have only been to the splash pad by it numerous times, but I had no idea there was a pool there too. Let's go.
3rd - We are on day six. What to do - what to do. Well, feeding the tribe is usually a good start. Elena wants biscuits for breakfast, so biscuits it will be. Two littles in the kitchen gives me ample time to share the work. They are more than happy to roll out the dough and cut it into circles for us to bake.
