Weekly Cooking Challenge #5!

I know I said I’d announce the ingredients on Wednesday but I just went shopping and am sooooo excited.  Yes, I’m actually excited about food.  Especially after my daughter commented that I have a lot of processed food in the house (ignoring the fact that I showed her how to chop mushrooms last night when we had salads!).  So without further such and such!:

This week’s ingredients are:

  • Wild Alaskan King Salmon Steaks – you know, that part just back from the head that isn’t fillets? Yeah, that part.
  • Asparagus
  • Red, Yellow and Green Peppers
  • Brown Rice
  • Up To Two Of Your Own Ingredients

I’m thinking this list should be pretty easy, but see how creative you can get!  Don’t forget to check the Spices & Herbs page for other ingredients you can use for free!  

To enter, just drop a link or your entire recipe in the comment section below!  All entries must be recieved by 10am PT on Thursday the 19th.  Good luck!
