Cooking Challenge Day #2 – Cinnamon Pecan Crusted Salmon
03 Feb 2011 9 Comments
I don’t know if I can come up with enough adjectives to describe Day #2 of the Cooking Challenge…delicious, mouth-watering, delectable, and the list could go on and on with synonyms for those words. I absolutely love salmon and so I knew from the beginning that at the very least I would like tonight’s dinner. And like it I did!
The Cinnamon Pecan Crusted Salmon from How Sweet It Is was exactly as advertised…”It was perfect.” The recipe calls for a BBQ sauce coating on the salmon and so I went with my all-time favorite, Gates Bar-B-Q sauce (You will know you are important to me if I serve you Gates BBQ sauce because I can’t buy it locally, it has to be shipped…and I won’t do that for just any guest!)
Things I learned on Day #2…
- I would like (need) to buy a nice camera
- I need to call my aunt and ask her to send me some more Gates BBQ sauce
-I hope on Day #314 I am still learning as much as I am on Day #2
-Food processors are amazing!

costco has some pretty great cameras for around $100.

You’d be surprised what turing off the flash, shooting in low light and tweaking in a photo-editing program will do for you photos….Maybe try that first before investing in a new camera
