    I am trying to not use so much meat-type foods, due to the lack in regulation on them, and the fact that we cannot yet afford to go fully organic. Last summer, when we had an abundance of spinach, lettuce and other veggies we grew ourselves, I made a 'sauce' of sorts to add to meats and sauces instead of eating so much store-bought foods. So, after looking at a vegetarian 'loaf recipe', I decided to start doing that again, adding grains and beans to supplement.

This Salmon Patty recipe make 9 patties.

You will need:
3 1/2oz. Tofu
2 c. greens
1 clove garlic
1/4 c.onion
1/3 c. cooked oatmeal (or other grain)
15 oz. canned Salmon
1/4 c. dry oatmeal (optional)
Olive Oil to cook in

    I put the tofu, greens, cooked oatmeal and veggies into the food processor and mixed it until it was smooth, but not runny. Add water if you need to.
    Then I broke up the salmon into a mixing bowl and spooned the mix into it, a little at a time so I didn't make it too runny. I added the dry oatmeal to help the consistency. It should be of the consistency to make patties you can hold.

    I heated Olive Oil in an iron skillet (I hope to soon be using the Red Palm Oil) and put the patties into it. You will have to let them cook longer than regular meat patties. After they cooked and I could lift them out of the pan, I put them into a stoneware dish in the oven at 200. Sometimes I do that to keep the food warmed, but since I hadn't made them before, I wanted to make sure they were dry enough to pass for a Salmon Patty by dh - Which they did, YAY!

If you have other ideas you use in this manner, PLEASE lmk!
Be Blessed!

I have this horror of eating store-bought meat. I was told by a friend of dh's who is getting his masters degree in health/physical fitness that up to a THOUSAND cows could go into ONE pound of hamburger. That idea really turns my stomach. :(

My mom raises 50 cornish rock chickens every two years. Six weeks from the time she buys them, I start putting them up, and by 8 weeks they are all gone. I get a 12-15 chickens and in this way I am able to provide a better quality of meat for my family.... also we buy our beef from a family we know that raises cattle. It's not 100% organic, but it sure beats the 1,000 cow scenario! :\

I wonder, do people just worry if something doesn't taste good? Do they not think about if things are actually healthy or not, or how things are made???

Because it's just me and Samuel, I eat the tiny, tuna-sized cans of salmon, and I mix it with a good sized handful of dried bread stuffing and an egg or two . . . . Dh is not a big salmon fan although he did have me buy a can for him to try sometime in the future! :)

Blessings in your effort to eat less meat!
