Kat, if I lived where you do, I think I would eat salmon 4 times a week. Your dinner sounds great!

Pasta salad for dinner?

A really good spread for bruschetta is roasted eggplant and red pepper spread. Just roast a big peeled eggplant with some olive oil brushed on it. Then combine with a small jar of roasted red pepper in the food processor or blender. Very easy and very good. Can be jazzed up into baba ganoush with tahini, garlic, lemon and parsley. I like it plain better. Can also do a white bean spread or hummus. Spinach dip and pita are also good. I do these kinds of appetizers with a pasta course all the time. Also my special olive tapenade made with tofu. Always get raves on that. Can do marinated mushrooms as a topping for brushetta but I haven't found a recipe I like. Chase's homeade boursin is fantastic with fresh herbs, but might be a little cheesy with tortellini too. Fresh cruidites and dip are always welcome in the summer. I also agree that gazpacho made with fresh tomatoes this time of year can't be beat. Last weekend I served just cut up canteloupe as an appetizer, it was devoured.

Actually, if wild game is processed and prepared properly it is exceptional. The problem with most hunters is they go hunting, kill the game, field dress it and throw it on the fender of the truck and drive it 200 miles to the processing plant. There are glands just under the skin and deep in the muscles that if ruptured or cut during transport or processing will give the meat a nasty, nasty taste. My step father handled his game just like that but he grew up like that and liked the taste. I wouldn't eat venison until I was grown and married and hubby showed me how to treat the game. We processed all our own and were careful not to contaminate the meat. You also have to remember that wild game has very little fat so consequently is low in cholesterol. Much better for you than beef but you cannot over cook it. The longer you cook it the tougher it gets. Chicken fried backstrap? Ummmm Good. I've even had it prepared tableside in an upscale restaurant just like Medallions or Steak Diane.

Salad or veggie for pot luck

You can make as little or as much as you want of this casserole just by using fewer boxes of spinach and less mushrooms. It is always a great hit when I bring it to pot lucks. It can also be made a couple of days ahead and then baked when you need it. Nita's Spinach Casserole This will feed a crowd or at least the ones I have taken it to. There won't be any leftovers. 10 boxes of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and the water squeezed out of it. 3 sticks of butter or margarine fresh mushrooms, sliced and cut in thirds I use probably 1- 1.5 pounds (or as many as you want to use) I take half the butter and melt it in a large frying pan. Then take half the spinach and half the mushrooms and add to the pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper in and then stir it around to mix thoroughly until heated through. Butter a 9 x 13 pan and then layer about 1/3 of the mixture. Now sprinkle over all with canned Parmesan cheese (don't skimp). Continue with the layers until gone and end with cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about half an hour

SO is quite the improvisational cook, he pretty much POOPed (pulled out of pantry) the cheesecake by adding a can of pineapple and some coconut I had laying around. He also added some cottage cheese that was hanging out in the fridge too. I thought it was slightly "unusual" but he loved it. I guess I am more of a traditionalist, although it was delicious. Mom left me a cheesecake recipe book and I'd be more than happy to bake my way through it! As for the soup, it was creamy without having a lot of fat since there were potatoes in it too. I added just a bit of half and half. It was a new kind of squash soup for me, my usual kind is more Italian with red onions, spinach, white beans and Italian seasoning. I also sometimes make that soup with chard with the stems added. Mom also left behind a whole passel of squash soup recipes in her recipe folder so I won't mind trying a few of those in her honor, although it does make me sad that I couldn't make them for her in person. I would always bring things over to the house when I visited that mom liked, vegetable-based things. Dad is such a picky, picky eater that mom could never make anything for the two of them that had much variety.

Ditto what Patti said!

I'm happy to report that I had salmon myself today, thanks to my future DIL, who surprised me by putting a wonderful dinner in my fridge while I was out last night: salmon with oregano jam, couscous, and a squash medley. I'm a lucky mother-in-law.

Love salmon (but not lox). Don't eat enough of it. (It is expensive.)

I am trying to eat it once a week -- MD recommends twice.

It's on my menu for Ash Wednesday, along with brown rice and fresh spinach.

Your dinner sounds delicious!

I only eat salmon on the grill..the guys don't like the smell of it cooking in the house...so I don't have it as often as I like.

I'd eat it quite a few times a week...

We had meatballs, simmered in homemade sauce and put into homemade rolls...mmm mmm
