We went to the Garland Salmon Fry (although it was really grilled salmon) last weekend. They have the best sauce for the salmon. Here's the recipe. It makes a ton, but stores in the fridge.
Butter Sauce
1 pound butter
4 TBSP Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce
8 TBSP Real Lemon Juice
2 chopped green onions
Pepper and Parsley Flakes to taste
Cook over Low Heat, DO NOT BOIL. Baste the salmon just before serving.
As Daniel said "Who knew fish could taste this good? Pass me more of the sauce."

Food Storage
Our Latest News
Recently Matt and I have been feeling like we needed to beef up our food storage, so when we ran into a girl selling Thrive food and shelf reliance shelf we were interested. I went to her party (it is a direct sales company). I was super impressed. The freeze dried foods were excellent in quality and after some comparison shopping I found almost always cheaper and sometimes a LOT cheaper then any other local source. We decided to purchase some and when it arrived we really liked it. So much so that we decided that I would become a consultant. Niels and Christi were my first order (thanks for your support!) I have thought about direct sales before but they always seemed to be a rip off for everyone. This is actually a product people would buy anyways at a great price and consultant/host benefits are good. I chose to do this because I don’t feel like anybody is getting ripped off.
We don’t want to pressure anyone but if you are curious about it, we are having a party. You can come sample the food and get more info on Thursday April 22 at 6:30 at our house. Let me know if you want to come and I will send you an e-vite. If you are interested in throwing your own party I would be happy to do that too. The host benefits are great.
If you have no idea what Thrive is, they make food storage. The thing we like is that there are a lot of different options that make using/rotating your food storage possible (mangoes, pineapples, green beans, corn, etc). They do a lot of fruits and vegetables. If you want to check out what is available you can see it at http://www.shelfreliance.com/foodstorage. If you are interested in anything, let me know and I can get you pricing (direct sales pricing is significantly cheaper than website pricing).

Not a Recipe....
I ran across this website the other day. You can download and print the activity/coloring books for the Living Scriptures movies. We take them to church and my kids really like them. You do have to fill out a free subscription, but they haven't sent me anything so far. Here is the link http://www.ldsfamilyfun.com/ldsff/account/login?from=account

yummy food blog
I ran across a food blog that I like. Clicking through the recipes was addictive; every recipe looked like something I would want to make. I think that have some sort of connection with channel 5 so perhaps some of you are familiar with them. The website is http://www.ourbestbites.com/ .
