This is another week of quick, easy and healthy meals. My husband’s surgery went well, but he is in bed most of the day and I am trying to fix him healthy meals to help him heal quickly. I have started my weekly bread baking routine and it is going great. I plan to bake all our bread for the week on Monday. I am also very excited because we will be going out of town this weekend!
Update: I will try and get some more of the recipes on the blog today…
Breakfasts
pancakes, waffles, French toast, oatmeal, cold cereal
Lunches
sandwiches, muffins, fruit, veggies, cheese & crackers
Dinner
Monday- potato soup, fresh bread, veggies (to be determined)
Tuesday - salmon turnovers (recipe below), carrots, peas, salad, applesauce
Wednesday- bean tacos, corn, rice
Thursday- mac and cheese with veggies for the kids, dinner out for grown-ups
Friday- whole wheat pizza
Here are some super foods I plan on fixing for my husband this week. Blueberry w/w pancakes, sweet potatoes, whole grain muffins, spinach salad, beans and rice, smoothies.

Salmon Turnovers- (makes 8 turnovers)
Ingredients:
2 cans boneless salmon
6 oz cream cheese
1 bunch green onion chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
2 tubes crescent rolls ( I use the low fat kind)
Leave out cream cheese to soften
Cook onions and celery in about a tablespoon of butter on the stove top for 3 to 5 minutes
Mix together cooked onions, celery, cream cheese and salmon (drained)
Take the crescent rolls and put two together to make a square, put a scoop (about 1/3 cup) of the mixture in the center of the square, then fold up the corners towards the center.
Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
This a great recipe for a quick meal. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, and is easy enough for a kid to make.

Mmm, I love potato soup! Those salmon turnovers sound very good, but what size can of salmon do they take? The tuna sized ones?
Have a great week!
[Reply]
Yes, they are the tuna sized cans. I guess you could use a big can, but the one’s I have seen have bones in them…
