This Week’s Secret To Success
- These easy meal ideas are delicious, for sure, but they are also built to make it easy to get them on the table!
- My Southern Salmon Patty recipe is a true reader favorite on Southern Discourse. I’ve given this classic recipe a few ingredient upgrades, as well as instructions for classic southern frying, baking in the oven and air frying.
- You can also watch THIS VIDEO where I fry the patties, make the mac n cheese + the green salad so you can see exactly how easy it is to get it all done. (I MAKE THE WHOLE MEAL!)
- Don’t forget to hit up your farmer’s market and local roadside stands to get as much fresh produce for these recipes as possible. Good ingredients make it so much easier to be a good cook!
Getting The Most From This Menu
- Use any leftover pulled pork to make BBQ Sheet Pan Nachos the next day.
- Serve it with the 7 Layer Mexican Dip for a fun 3rd meal this week!
- Keep things short and simple if you need to- just make the salmon, patties, mac n cheese and salad if that’s all you have time for.
