Photo journal of K-Rae prepping dinner tonight....

Scrubbing the yams...



Drying and wrapping the yams
Washing and sampling the kale....LOVES kale...raw, cooked, however!
Helping Mama use the big knife...scary!
Taking a cooking break to blog.....or to do reading games......have your preschooler/kdg./first/second grader check out http://www.starfall.com/ for some interactive reading games, stories, and activities.  Oh---and does someone want to buy me a new laptop?....I'm having a hard time getting access to mine anymore!!!!
Little Miss Mae helping too

Measuring and mixing....making marinade
Basting the salmon

Mashing the yams
Final product, and proud little chef...this meal was DELICIOUS....Baked salmon with bourbon brown sugar glaze, yams topped with marshmallows of course (the only way to eat yams in our opinion), and kale sauted with garlic.  Yum!!!  K-Rae only liked the kale; the salmon and yams weren't her favorite. Little Miss Mae however, ate more salmon and yams than all the rest of us put together. 
The secret ingredient for the salmon....McCormick Brown Sugar Bourbon Marinade Grill Mates from City Market....we followed the recipe on the back of the package for the citrus marinade, marinated for 30 minutes and then baked for 30 min. on 450.  Very tasty!

  2. Wow, I'm impressed with the menu and the cookers! I'll have to see if I can find that marinade in Spokane and try it on my salmon. Thanks for sharing.
