Spinach and Shrimp Fettuccine -- Chef Noah

Noah is our child that still loves to cook.  In fact, he is going to make most of our meals this summer, and he has created his own Pinterest account and is collecting recipes to make for us.

Recently, he decided to find a recipe to use some ingredients we already had in the house and he found this recipe on Pinterest that sounded good to the whole family:  Spinach & Shrimp with Fettuccine noodles (click on the picture to expand).

We used more spinach than the recipe called for and we also used spinach fettuccine noodles.  As he is learning to make new meals, he tries to follow the recipe closely, but he already has a great natural ability for herb/spice selection & combination.

Noah made the entire meal himself, even mincing & grating the garlic.

Doesn't this make you hungry?  It tasted wonderful!

Maple Glazed Salmon

The recipe for this fantastic meal came from The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose.  I made some variations, due to ingredient limitations and taste. So, I'll list the way we made it, because it was SO good! 

There was such a positive response from the boys, we've had it once or twice a month since.  The whole family likes it, even Jeff!

Recipe:

• 1 cup Tamari
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 4 to 6 fresh or frozen salmon fillets, well rinsed

Mix all ingredients but the salmon in a blender.  Use the mixture to marinate the salmon for 1 to 24 hours.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Place salmon in a baking dish with marinating mixture and bake for about 18 minutes.

I made zucchini noodles with our spiralizer and stir fried them with some other veggies for a side dish.
We started the meal with a small salad.  Ta-da... restaurant style!!!
