Recipe of the Month


Sara's Simple Salmon:
1/4 cup melted butter, 1-2 garlic cloves, minced, 1 T. Worcestershire sauce, 1 T. dry mustard, 2 T. ketchup, 3 T. soy sauce. Preheat oven to broil, move rack to second level from top. Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Spray broiling pan with cooking spray. Spread sauce on salmon and broil 8-12 minutes in oven. Do not turn over. Cook just until fish flakes easily with a fork.
This recipe is so EASY and delicious! A great way to use all the fish the guys caught in Alaska!!
Open your windows while broiling-it gets a little smoky...

Bonus Recipe: I made this pie for dessert on Sunday and Dale said it's the best pie I've ever made!!
Afton's Fresh Peach Pie: Pastry for 9-inch pie, baked, 5 large peaches, 1 cup sugar, 1/8 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp. almond extract, 1/8 cup butter. Slice 3 peaches into baked pie shell (if they're really juicy, dab them with a paper towel). In a small pan, mash 2 peaches; add sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat to boiling point, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, or until thick and clear. Remove from heat and add almond extract and butter. Pour over peaches in pie shell and chill for several hours until set. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

SWISS DAYS

Swiss Days is an annual event held in Midway, Utah every Labor Day weekend. Dale calls it "The World's Biggest Boutique"! Chris & Shannon had a Snuggle Buddies booth in Swiss Days last year and again this year. We got to tend the grandkids for the weekend while they worked at the booth. We stayed at the Zermatt Resort in Midway and had a really fun time swimming, playing cards and eating Zermatt's famous gelato-yum! We also went to the Sheepdog Competition at Soldier Hollow. Three words about Swiss Days: Crowded, crowded, crowded!!
If you've never been you should go next year and experience it for yourself (just once!)

A Beautiful Day at "The Berry"

Last Saturday (Sept. 19th) we got up early and went fishing at Strawberry Reservoir. I don't like getting up early, but I hadn't been on a boat ride in our boat this year, and I wanted to see some autumn leaves (and catch and release some fish)....so I went and I'm glad I did! It was beautiful day at "The Berry"... Lauren "holding" her fish!!

The first crawdad we've ever "caught" at Strawberry...

Surprise!!

Not much of a fight with this one!

Nice cutt, B

A few weeks too early for colorful autumn leaves-darn!

Lauren didn't know you have to kiss the first fish you catch!
