Salmon Burgers/Patties With a Herb Sauce
I made these the other night as I had some salmon to use up and served them over salad it made for a delicious meal. I also made a sour cream herb sauce to accompany them using up some fresh herbs on my fridge. I cooked these on the stove top in a pan but they would also work on the BBQ just as well. You could also serve them in burger buns with some lettuce tomato and avocado.

Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini with Ricotta and Herb Sauce
This is a very quick pasta dish to make that tastes great and makes for a great mid week meal. My son and hubby love this dish, as do I because I can have it on the table in about 20-30 Minutes, which for me is great, when you get in late and do not want to fuss in the kitchen all night.
