Maple Salmon

This recipe is delicious! Surprisingly, the maple flavor is not too powerful. Goes great with some caramelized onions!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound salmon

  • In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange foil in a shallow glass baking dish that is long enough for the salmon. Place the salmon in the middle of the foil, then pour the maple mixture on top. Wrap the salmon in the foil, adding another piece if necessary. Marinate salmon in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes, but no more, turning once.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon in the foil for 20-25 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

Twice a Mother

For a week, I have thought of writing this story. For a week, I haven’t known where to start, so I haven’t written anything at all. I’ve finally decided just to start with the basic, raw, painful truth of it, then continue from there. Last Thursday, August 29, I had a baby. My baby was a little boy and he was beautiful, but he isn’t with me now, except in my heart. I was almost 16 weeks pregnant, and there was no chance he could survive. We named our son Joseph Aaron. I went into labor around midnight. When we got to the hospital, Joseph’s heart was still beating strong. But nothing could alter the chain of events. It was too early. Devastating. Crushing. Terrifying. Impossible, until it wasn’t. Here are some things I know about Joseph: * He was 7.5 inches long * He weighed 3.2 ounces * He was born at 8:30 am * He has an older brother who never met him and will never know him on this earth * He was unbelievably beautiful * He was tiny * He was perfectly, fu

Mother's Day

Things don't go as planned. My mother's day was not what I expected it to be. Rather than announcing publically that another baby would be joining us in December, I'm walking through a miscarriage. Again. A third baby joins his or her creator in heaven. Mother's day morning was spent waking up and wondering if today would finally be the day that this whole physical process of loss would be done, after weeks of waiting. It was spent telling the 3 year old and 6 year old that another sibling wasn't strong enough to join them on earth. That, no, I don't know if it was a brother or sister. That I wish I did. That I can't wait to meet all 3 of these mysterious tiny people one day, while concealing the true desperation and desire to see their dear, unknown faces. It was spent assuring them that God is still good, still kind, that He still loves them and Mama and this gone too soon baby. Mother's day was not happy and glowing this year. No one ev

Six months

In honor of my sweet, sweet boy's six month birthday, I want to share how he made his debut into the world. I've been wanting to do this since he was first born, but... if you have had a baby, you know how that goes! Keep in mind, this account is long. It is primarily for my sake and Oliver's sake, so he can know the story leading up to his birth, and because I feel it is a type of catharsis for women to share their birth stories. This tale is also for those of you who knew what type of birth I wanted and may be curious how things ended up going, if you don't know already. So with that disclaimer in mind... My due date was October 25, 2011. I told myself from the very beginning of my pregnancy that I would not, under any circumstances, start to hope that he would arrive early. Yeah, right. That lasted until I was 32 weeks along. That was the very defining moment when I told Randy, "I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore." Incidentally, that was also t
