green goddess salmon burgers

Homemade salmon burgers seasoned with fresh herbs and topped with an avocado and Greek yogurt-based green goddess sauce. Serve as burgers or sliders depending on your mood.

Green Goddess Salmon Burgers
Otherwise known as:
any excuse to eat a pretzel roll.
Or a really really good excuse to eat a pretzel roll.
Green Goddess Salmon Burgers
JK. I do what I want and I never need an excuse to eat a pretzel roll. That’s the beauty of being an adult!!
Also, I get to decide what to make for dinner, which means I get to make these salmon burgers whenever the craving strikes.
So: often.
Green Goddess Salmon Burgers
Honestly, I’ve been a little bit plus/minus on salmon lately. The fillets we’ve been getting from the online food delivery service we use have been meh. Probably I just need to find a better source.
BUT even meh salmon tastes really good in salmon burgers!! Especially these, which are filled with so much fresh herb flavor and topped with an avocado green goddess sauce that you’ll want to eat by the spoonful it’s so good and good for you.
Plus salmon burgers keep SO MUCH BETTER in the fridge than baked or sauteed salmon. So if you’re like me, you can make a whole batch and eat them throughout the week instead of having to break out your skillet and cook dinner every dang night.
No one has time for that, seriously.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES WILL MAKE YOU FORGET YOUR CHILDHOOD CANNED SAUCE MEMORIES AND MAKE YOU LOVE SLOPPY JOES AGAIN.

Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes will make you forget your childhood canned sauce memories and make you LOVE sloppy joes again.


Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes came together pretty organically and randomly for us. We have had Philly Cheese Steak Grilled Cheese sandwiches in our rotation for years (because they are AMAZING) and one day we made up a skillet and…. our bread had become furry.
Gross. Right?
So we had hamburger buns on hand from a hamburger night meal a couple of nights before. The changes I made were just enough to be extra gooey and “sloppy” and only took about a minute.
EDITED: You guys are amazing, in just

We LOVED these Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes!



PHILLY CHEESE STEAK HAMBURGER HELPER SKILLET? YES.


  • Cook exactly as described except double the broth (leave the cornstarch the same).
  • Do not rinse your macaroni, the starch will keep the sauce thickened.
  • At the step where you’d add the cheese, instead add the macaroni.
  • Stir it well together and cook for 30 seconds or until thickened.
  • Add in the Provolone Cheese and stir for just a couple of seconds and serve immediately.


This was a second variation of this Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes recipe we ended up making a week after we made these sloppy joes for the first time. I posted a recipe for this too! Head on over after you’re done on this page, its the best pasta dish we’ve had this year!

WANT TO MAKE THESE PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES IN THE SLOW COOKER?

  • Add the Ingredients (minus the cheese and buns) to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
  • Use half the amount of beef broth.
  • If the sauce is not thick add in another 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon room temperature water. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.Looking for more Cheese Steak recipes? Look no further!

    Just 30 minutes to make these Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes.


Tools Used in the making of these Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes:Cast Iron Skillet: This is my most used pan in my kitchen, heavy, keeps heat well and gives the BEST sear ever.
Chef’s Knife: This knife is one of the three most used tools in my kitchen (tongs and my pig tail flipper are the other two). I love it, I’ve had it for almost 10 years and it is as sharp today as the day I got it. (left column, second from the top). Mind you I love it this much even though I have a ridiculously expense knife set as well.
Worcestershire Sauce: Do not leave this out or sub it for anything else, this is a main flavor component and this brand is my absolute go-to.
Cheez Whiz: I know what you are thinking, Cheez Whiz? This isn’t even in the ingredients. Yes, I know…because it is a secret guilty pleasure. I add it to the top of my sloppy joes even with the Provolone mixed in. I won’t lie, it isn’t high end, but it is DARN good.

Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns

Fluffy, sweet Hot Cross Buns are an Easter delight! This recipe yields tender, pillowy rolls that are spiced with orange zest, cinnamon, and cardamom. Each roll is sweetened with honey and brown sugar. Brush them with a warm apricot glaze when they are fresh from the oven for a dose of wonderful sweetness and flavor.

After experimenting in the kitchen over the last few months, I’ve learned that yeast is truly nothing to be afraid of. I’m becoming more and more comfortable with this delicate living organism.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to working with yeast.
You can make soft, glazed apple cinnamon rolls. And homemade pizza doughloaded with all of the good stuff. You can make crisp and tender cinnamon maple bagels.
If you’re in the mood, you can make a batch of sweet, super soft and fluffy buns like these hot cross buns.
Fluffy, sweet Hot Cross Buns are an Easter delight! This recipe yields tender, pillowy rolls that are spiced with orange zest, cinnamon, and cardamom.
It’s not hard to make bakery-style buns at home. Trust me. If you have a stand mixer, it’s even easier!
The most important thing you need is patience. If you can manage that, you will be good to go.
Start your dough by combining warm water and yeast. I always dissolve the yeast before adding it to the flour. This a great habit to form because you can easily tell if the yeast is good or not without wasting an entire recipe.
Fluffy, sweet Hot Cross Buns are an Easter delight! This recipe yields tender, pillowy rolls that are spiced with orange zest, cinnamon, and cardamom.
Once you know that your yeast is in working order, add it to warm milk, honey, and orange zest. This all gets mixed with a little flour that has been spiced salt, cinnamon, and cardamon. Mix in some butter, eggs, vanilla, raisins, and more flour.
Once the dough comes together, use the dough on your stand mixer and beat the dough on medium speed for four minutes. It should be smooth and no longer tacky.
Place it in a large mixing bowl that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Check to see if it has risen enough by pressing two fingers into the dough. If the indentation remains, that means the dough has risen enough.

Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and arrange them on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let the balls rise for about 45 minutes. They should rise to be about double their size.
Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash so they’ll turn a lovely shade of golden brown during baking. Mix flour and water to form a paste and pipe the classic cross over each bun.
Bake the buns for about 25 minutes. They will make your house smell amazing!
As soon as you pull the buns from the oven, brush the tops with warmed apricot jam that has been strained. The apricot flavor melds so wonderfully with the spices in the buns.

The smell of these hot cross buns baking is sensational.

I also suggest adding these rosemary and cheese dinner rolls to your Easter menu!
