Salmon in a Bag

So, I was walking through HEB the other day, trying to decide whether or not to buy more chicken, when I passed this beautiful looking salmon. Now, I don't normally care for fish, but my husband loves it. So, I had been wanting to venture out and try something new. Boy, am I glad I did! The inspiration came from this pin, but there weren't clear instructions or ingredients. I'm sorry that the pictures aren't the best quality. I took them with my iPhone because, honestly, I didn't expect to like this recipe so much.

Salmon in a Bag

Ingredients:

-2 salmon fillets

-salt

-garlic salt

-minced garlic

-parsley

-lemon juice

-lemons

-butter

-foil

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Get 2 pieces of foil big enough to cover the entire fillet. 

-Slice lemons and place about 4 on each piece of foil. Then, put the fillet on top of the lemons.

-Cut a small cube of butter and put it on top of the salmon. 

-Season with salt, garlic salt, minced garlic, parsley, and a sprinkle of lemon juice. We didn't use specific measurements, but it's about a pinch or a dash of each seasoning for each fillet. :)

-Fold the foil over the salmon so that it is tightly covered, as if in a bag. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. 

Resurrection Rolls

Have you guys ever heard of Resurrection Rolls? I know it's after Easter, but I just had to share this with you all just in case you're like me and hadn't heard about them.

Over the weekend, I was browsing through Pinterest and came across this pin.

The moment I read about them, I knew I wanted to make them with my neices and nephews for Easter. They are so easy to make, SO delicious, and make a great hands-on learning experience about the resurrection.

Here's what you do:

Resurrection Rolls
Recipe from Saving Dollars and Sense

Ingredients:
-crescent rolls
-large marshmallows
-melted butter
-cinnamon sugar (I just eyeballed it when I mixed them)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Give each child (or adult) a triangle from the crescent rolls.
    This represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.
2. Give each child a marshmallow.
    This represents Jesus and His purity.
3. Dip the marshmallow first in the melted butter.
    This represents the embalming oils.
4. Dip the marshmallow in cinnamon sugar.
    This represents the spices Jesus was annointed with.
5. Wrap the marshmallow in the crescent roll. Make sure the marshmallow is completely covered and there are no open spots. It should be the shape of a roll.
     This represents Jesus's body being wrapped after death.
6. Place in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
    The oven represents the tomb.
7. Take the rolls out and let them cool slightly. The marshmallows will have melted, and when the children go to open the roll, they see that Jesus is no longer there. He is risen!
Optional: Before you place the rolls in the oven, dip them in the melted butter and cinnamon sugar for added flavor.
