Not a whole lot of creativity the last couple days, as far meals go.
Not a whole lot of creativity the last couple days, as far meals go. Here in Minnesota, our farmers markets don’t even start til May. And since most of what we grow here is nowhere near harvesting since the ground has only just thawed, it means really the difference between say, phasing from winter meals full of spaghetti squash and cabbage into spring ones, featuring even more cabbage! However, broccoli (LOVE BROCCOLI), asparagus, and radishes are in season at the grocery chains (shipped in). I haven’t had asparagus or radishes in awhile. I plan to get some of both this weekend.
Last night’s dinner was my typical salmon burger, but pan-fried in virgin coconut oil, and finished with a sweet & spicy Asian style glaze—a little Huy Fong chili garlic sauce mixed with ginger, some pseudo-soy sauce (half coconut aminos & half tamari) mixed and reduced in the pan—over steamed broccoli.

Woman, that looks SO good. 🙂
Mmmm. I love salmon patties with a dill sauce too.
Looks fantastic!
Give it a try. I just use canned or frozen salmon fillets and mash it up with an egg and some spices, then use a small bowl to press into to make the patties.
Someone should greenhouse veg in the winter like they do here. They are making a fortune selling at the indoor markets and even to local supermarkets. And delish!
We have lots of hydroponic stuff here, Terry McNeil—it’s just not nearly as good as what we can grow in summer. Hydro tomatoes taste like nothing to me, compared to local soil-grown and vine-ripened ones. And we have tons of Canadian imported veg here, too. Giant hothouse cucumbers, baby tomatoes, etc. They’re pretty good. I prefer to eat as seasonally as I can, because I need this lifestyle to be sustainable.
Our greenhouses grow year round, I don’t know if they use hydroponic or not. Vastly superior to any trucked in vegetables. Mainly tomatoes/cucs/eggplant and greens. Sprouted greens in abundance. Luckily winter veg beets/potatoes/onions/carrots/turnips. This year has been especially good as there was a bumper crop. Seasonal is fabulous, grown close to home is very important also, imho. ☺

Hey there Sue T.! ☺
Waves!
Terry McNeil ah, yeah. Hydro/greenhouse, I get them all the same in my head.
