My son purchased some fresh sockeye salmon. After he filleted them he gave me the scraps. I baked them briefly & took the meat off. I got almost 3 1/2 pounds! I will divide the meat up, freeze them & we will enjoy many meals....salmon patties, pasta & yummy summer salads

Today I found an unopened container of cottage cheese hiding in the back of my fridge. It stated the best before date a week away. But when I opened it there was a small amount of mold. I hate wasting food! I decided to puree it & use it as cream cheese for some of my muffin recipes . Especially banana muffins. I seldom purchase cream cheese. I usually use homemade yogurt & it works well. I measured 1/2 cups of puree into 4 snack bags & froze them. Now when I take out 3 frozen over ripe bananas from my freezer I will grab a baggy of my fake cream cheese. I bake muffins for a couple of people twice a week as well as homemade bread for us each week & cookies by weekly when the great grands come for lunch so I keep a well stocked pantry.
