For Christmas last year (2012), my hubby bought me a new cookbook called Taste of Home BEST LOVED Recipes. We have only made a few recipes from the book, but so far every recipe has been blog worthy! Since we had some fresh dill in the garden and Salmon in the freezer, I decided to make the Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce. The Creamy Dill Sauce adds a wonderful flavor to this Salmon.
I believe my hubby said it will take me 10 years to try every recipe in this cookbook, if I made a recipe a day! I love a good challenge.
