15 minute salmon recipie

Bought some salmon at the grocery store today; but wasn't sure how I wanted to prepare it. I remembered my mom had a recipie for leeky salmon. Not being the most orgainzed person; I just googled it and found this recipie:WHFoods: Braised Salmon with Leeks. It was quick and delicious.

Curry!

I'm turning into a food blog!
Made this yummy Chicken Curry soup for dinner saturday night. Very quick and easy. I did leave out the jalepeno (kids) but added asian chili sauce for a spicy kick to the adult bowls. Sorry I can't figure out how to paste the photo. Hope you give it a try.This Week for Dinner – Weekly Meal Plans, Dinner Ideas, Recipes and More!: Guest Blogger Katie Goodman: Coconut Chicken Curry Soup
