As a child, I don’t think anything struck more terror in my heart than learning dinner was Grandma’s Salmon Loaf. It was on regular rotation during both Advent, the weeks leading up to Christmas, and Lent, before Easter, when there were many days of fasting, abstinence, and obligation when meat wasn’t served. I’ve always thought about making a post for that Salmon Loaf, but just never could do that to y’all – or to me! So that’s prompted me to come up with Not Grandma’s Salmon Loaf!
Smoky Salmon Spread
Way back in the 60s, when my parents threw the occasional party and this Smoky Salmon Spread was on the table. Mom would put it out in a sweet little silver bowl, looking all fancy. No one knew it was one of our dogs’ trophies; it was engraved on the bottom. 🙂
What To Do With That Canned Salmon Lurking In The Pantry?
Canned Salmon. In the 1960s, I grew up with it in landlocked Northwest Iowa. And I didn’t like it. The canned Salmon that is. (Iowa was a wonderful place to grow up.) There was a time I’d tell you that you were nuts if you thought I’d buy and use canned salmon.
Let’s face it, though, if you’re on a limited budget and want to get some healthy fish in, if you want to save time, or if you want to make certain dishes, Canned Salmon can be the way to go.
