Freezer Meals #2

Sorry it's been so long since my last post- things have been crazy for me lately!

Here are the Pita Pizzas!

I used Joseph's Bakery brand Pitas.  Toast them first in the oven (I did 400F for about 5 minutes, then flipped them over for another 2 minutes.)  Let them cool completely, then put on sauce and toppings.  Freeze on a sheetpan until solid, then wrap in clingwrap and foil.  Label with the date and type if pizza. 

I made two different kinds:

1. A "Mexican" pizza with taco seasoned ground turkey, black beans, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese.  I used regular pizza sauce because that's what I had.  Normally I would have used refried beans.  I added to the label that I needed to add Salsa and Sour Cream when I brought it for lunch.
2. A Ground Turkey and Turkey Pepperoni pizza with mozzarella cheese.

The third meal that I made was Salmon Cakes with Loaded Mashed Cauliflower and Edamame.

Here's the recipe for the Salmon Cakes:

1 ea        Egg

2 tsp       Lime Juice

2 Tbsp    Dijon Mustard

¾ tsp      Salt

½ tsp      Pepper

1/3 cup   Toasted White Sesame Seeds

2 cloves  Garlic

2 ea        Scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces

1½ lbs     Fresh Salmon Fillet

1 tbsp      Vegetable Oil

1.   In a large bowl, beat egg until mixed, add the lime juice, mustard, salt & pepper into the bowl.

2.   Stir sesame seeds, garlic and scallions into the egg mixture.

3.   Slice off and discard the salmon skin, and pull out any pin bones.  Chunk the salmon into roughly ¼-inch cubes and add to the bowl with the egg mixture.  Stir until well combined.

4.   Shape the salmon mixture into 8 thick patties.  Chill for 30 minutes.

5.   Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over med-high heat.  Gently add the patties.  Fry until lightly browned on the bottom side, about 2 minutes.  Flip and fry until crisp on the outside and still moist on the inside, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Here's the recipe for the Loaded Mashed Cauliflower:

1 (16oz) bag   Frozen Cauliflower

2 tbsp             Butter

4 oz                Cream Cheese

1 lb                 Bacon, cooked and crumbled

8 oz                Cheddar Cheese, shredded 

 

     1.    Microwave cauliflower minutes, or until very soft.  Stirring occasionally.  Drain, if needed, and add the butter and cream cheese.  Using a stick mixer, blend until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper.

 

     2.     Top with cheddar cheese and bacon.

 

Here's how they looked packaged up.
