Recipes that include salmon (canned)

Breadbox Cafe and Two Minute Salmon Salad

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Finally! We moved, but it’s not all smooth sailing yet. We’re living out of boxes and we don’t have a kitchen yet. While our perfect kitchen is being built (which we will be talking about soon), I’m going to have to get crafty. I do have many plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, waffle maker, microwave, etc.) so we’re still going to have a ball here. I think we’re going to be pleasantly surprised with how much I (or you) can do without a kitchen. (Gulp) Determined to eat well every single day without exceptions, here goes…

***Update 11/07/11***Breadbox is now terrible, cutting corners and giving stale and old food. Don’t go!

I’m so happy we’ve hit perfect walk-around weather, ideal for my first few days of neighborhood exploring. I’m disappointed by the dark and dreary C-town by me, but on another ugly block, I found Breadbox Cafe 47-11 11th Street, Long Island City, NY 11101. It was right next to a Getty gas station, an unexpected cafe, clean and new with the Grand Opening sign up. I felt a connection like I wanted to go in and high-five them, and say, “Hey, I’m new here too.” ( I didn’t of course.)

Yum Yum Brunch

Sunday, December 16, 2007

I had the Yum Yum Sisterhood over for Brunch. Our mission is always social eating but today we also started folding paper cranes for two important people to Julie and Lily, who were diagnosed with cancer. Our best wishes goes out to them. We had a great time as we always do and I got several compliments on the food. Here’s what we had:

Pumpkin Bread
This is a simple and perfect pumpkin bread for a holiday season brunch. The texture and color is amazing. I will definitely make this again.

Salmon Cake Benedict with Garlic Roasted Potatoes
This was my own creation. I did not write down an exact recipe for poaching the eggs, the sauce (a pseudo hollandaise), and the potatoes but I did finally write down my recipe for the salmon cakes that I’ve made several times. People always ask me for the recipe and I didn’t have one until now:

1 can (7oz) Kirkland brand Salmon (other canned salmons are awful)
1 cup chickpeas, mashed
1/4 cup minced yellow or white onion
1 green onion, chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
pinch cayenne (adjust to your spice)
2 teaspoons olive oil or non-stick spray

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Divide and shape into six patties. Set aside.
3. Prepare a skillet with oil or non-stick spray on medium high heat.
4. Place the patties on the pan, careful not to break them.
5. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Remove from pan and serve.

Whole Wheat Pancakes with Sauteed Apples
The pancakes came out so fluffy and flavorful enough to eat alone but even better with sauteed apples on top.

With all the excitement, I forgot to take more pictures of the food. =(
