Salmon Casserole
I forgot to thank you all for the diaper rash advice. I took my friend Amy’s NICU nurse recipe (maalox and aquaphor) and it worked like a charm. Her rash was mostly gone 24 hours later.

Several of you have mentioned that you’ve missed my recipes. I have been cooking but nothing worth sharing. Last night, I made a childhood favorite (yes I was a weird child) so I thought I would share. Let me first say that I don’t particularly like salmon in most forms. I can eat it if, say, my best friend tells the flight attendant that she is allergic to fish so that she gets the last plate of chicken, but I would really rather not eat it at all. This is the only form of salmon I ever cook in my home so if you are on the fence about salmon give this a try.
Salmon Casserole
1 16oz can RED salmon (yes the pink is cheaper but there is a reason)
2 C crushed saltines (about 1 sleeve)
2 T minced green onions (I always forget these)
1 C skim milk
Clean salmon of bones (down the middle you will usually find some yucky round bones). Flake salmon with a fork. Add saltines and onion – mix well. Place mixture in a 2 quart casserole dish. Drizzle milk over it. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
White Sauce:
3 T margarine
3 T flour
1 1/4 C skim milk
2 or 3 dashes of dried dillweed
Melt margarine over low heat. Add flour and stir until combined. Gradually add milk, stirring well. Cook on medium until bubbly and thickened, stirring constantly.
You can make the casserole without the white sauce but the sauce livens it up a bit.
Well, this brings me back, it was a Lent Staple at my house growing up. Complete with the peas!

Today’s theme is casseroles!
My Mom made something similar but as little round cakes fried in a pan. I loved eating those soft little bones when I was little. Guess I was strange too.
When you say something is 2T or 3T is that tablespoon or teaspoon?
Capital T is tablespoon
lowercase t is teaspoon
Sorry for any confusion!
Sounds pretty good!! I was watching the food network the other day and the host said that you can eat the bones…stating how full of calcium they are. I don’t know…kinda crunchy.
