Salmon & Tuna Burgers

I am sure there are plenty of these recipes out there but this is just what I did in the quest to find something protein to eat that tastes good.   So here goes.

1 can of salmon
1 can of tuna
little grated garlic
1 egg
chopped green onion
seasoned salt
sprinkle of oat bran

Spray fry pan.   Cook until nice and brown, then flip and cook other side.  10 minutes, done.  After mine were brown enough, I kinda held them up to brown the outside, not necessary, but I wanted to do it.  I topped it with some low sodium Heinz ketcup and a guilt free lunch.  Add a side salad and enjoy.

The mixture of fish gave it a great flavor.

Give New Life To An Old Bear

My grandson has always had his favorite bear forever, (he is 6) ha.  But in the years the stuffing has disappeared.  I have patched the holes a couple of times for him that his dog so gently made.  Mind you the dog didn't want the bear, she only wanted the stuffing.  So he forgot his bear up here the last time we had a sleepover and I was thinking, what can I do to make this bear special.  So what I did was go to my basement, and in an old trunk there were some toys and such that belonged to him mom when she was little.  One toy I came across was a stuffed toy that her gramma made her, years ago.  So I didn't think my daughter or my mom would mind if I made a little incision in the toy and pulled out enough stuffing to fill Morgans bear back up.  Of course over the years it gathered a little basement smell, so I instead of putting it through the wash to put a couple of drops of lavender essence oil in the hole before I closed the incision.  He liked it.  He told his mom his bear looked healthy because he had a big belly, haha, out of the mouth of babes.  So now he has a treasure from his great grandmother.

Now isn't he just too cute!
