Your strong shoulder dinner sounds tasty..and comforting.

Can you post your recipes? That citrus salmon with rosemary rice sounds delightful!

... I often cook “by instinct” and not following a set recipe. I did post one recipe I engineered for slow cooker chicken soup that is so easy, I can even make this when I am sick myself (see this link: http://www.43things.com/entries/view/688137). If you’re wanting a specific recipe for something, let me know the food and I will see if I have made it and what I can suggest.

As far as the salmon, any type of citrus works well. I used to have a grapefruit tree in my Florida backyard, and used the fruit to flavor all kinds of fish (and chicken) dishes. The rosemary rice what I would do is use the fish stock (including rosemary and dill on the fish) in a yellow or wild rice mix for extra flavor.

Waste not, want not is my motto!
