Salmon with Linguine and Lemon Sauce

Remember the salmon from the other night that the Mr. and Cherubs grilled?

I've been saving a bit of it.

Actually, about 1/2 of it.

I knew this week would be a bit crazy and having a quick meal would be helpful.

Tonight was the night for a quick meal.

I used the left-over grilled salmon and wanted to put pasta with it because that would be easy.

But for it to be really easy, I needed an easy sauce.

I quick decided that lemon would be the base of my sauce because lemon and salmon just go together.

Well, lemon wasn't really the "base;" butter was the base -- but lemon would be the taste!

Here's the simple sauce.

This would be great with the pasta and grilled asparagus for a meatless dish, I do believe!

Pasta with Lemon Sauce

Linguine (or pasta of your choice)
1/4 cup butter (this was the only thing I measured; everything else was just thrown in)
1 TBSP chopped garlic (read note above)
lemon juice to taste (about 2 TBSP or so . . .read note above)
salt and pepper

Cook pasta according to directions on the package.

While the pasta is cooking, in a saute pan, add the 1/4 cup butter and melt over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Add the lemon juice and stir and heat until well blended and "saucy."

Taste and make adjustments as necessary.

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Drain the cooked pasta and return the pasta to the pan. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Serve warm.

This amount of sauce seasoned about 1/2 box of linguine noodles, give or take. If you're a saucy person, go ahead and double the recipe; you won't be disappointed!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
