Special Shrimp Casserole
This is a great casserole recipe I added a couple of things to this one which I have listed below. I also can not get cream of mushroom soup here so I used a packet mix and made it with a mix of milk and cream. I also had some cod I wanted to use up so I added this too, this recipe is very versatile and can be played around with. I served our as is but I did have some leftovers and I served it the next day over pasta and it was really good. If you would like to read more reviews on this recipe please click here.

Pan Seared Salmon on Potato Cake and Wilted Spinach With Dijon Sauce
I made this one last night and it was a wonderful meal a truly company worthy dish with hardly any effort. The potato cakes are great but need to be cooked for a good while to make sure they are cooked all the way through. I loved the sauce that went with and I warmed this on the stove before adding to the plate. If you would like to see more photos of this recipe please click here.
