Here is a little information about me:

(1) Whenever I travel, I keep a journal of my experiences.

(2) I, too, have been on ‘The Maid of the Mist”. It’s exhilarating!

(3) Bugs crave my blood type. I recently had every inch of my body covered to pick vegetables from the garden and still managed to get stung on my eyelid!

(4) I’ve begun paying attention to my Bucket List.

(5) The older I get, the younger I feel. How is that possible?

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Burst of Flavor: Driving Dill Crazy on Cedar Plank Salmon! Tired of multi-tasking? Here’s a solution to the never-ending question of “What’s for Dinner?” This is the BEST way to grill salmon when you’re at the end of a day that seemed long and demanding. Simply thaw and grill. The supermarket was featuring delicately seasoned Atlantic salmon on a pre-soaked cedar plank. Not only does it taste amazing, but clean-up is a breeze. There’s even enough for a meal later on. Stay tuned. 
DRIVING DILL CRAZY ON CEDAR PLANK SALMON
Ingredients:

1 24-ounce package of Cedar Bay Salmon, Applewood with Orange and Ginger seasoning
Instructions:

Preheat grill to 425°. Place the thawed salmon and plank directly on the middle rack. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Do not over cook. The flesh becomes flakey and pink in the center. Serve with your favorite salad or side dish.
