Salmon Dinner by Diane Eblin

Salmon Dinner by Diane Eblin

Tonight’s dinner was a quick fix with a enough leftover quinoa for other meals.  I took advantage of a seasoning mix that is already combined so all I have to do is shake.  Penzeys Spices carries many varieties.  If you try any of the recipes on this blog please take a picture and send it to me.  I’d love to see your creations.

    Yum. Love the Penzey's spice blends. I have the Adobo blend in the crockpot stew going now. Like the Tuscan Sunset, too. I'll have to try the Sunny Paris. Just bought some red quinoa to try this week.

    Wendy- Thank you for your ideas. Can't wait to hear about your stew. I'll have to check out Tuscan Sunset seasonings too. —Diane
