Coriander Salmon and french green beans

This is what I made for dinner tonight. I love salmon and try to eat it at least once a week. This was a good recipe. But I've had better. Here is where I got it.

Do I have any still out there reading this? I have been less than faithful in posting. :) Hang in there with me and you'll see lots more coming. Maybe even 3 nights in a row!

Chicken and Mushrooms with steamed carrots

So I forgot to take a picture until we had already "dug" in. This was a really good meal. I'm trying to cook exclusively from my pantry and freezer this week. Except for fresh produce. I found this recipe here. My husband loved it and so did I. My kids ate some. They are so picky.


  • 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
