Salmon croquettes aren’t exactly the most elegant dish. Traditionally made with canned salmon, some bread crumbs or matzah meal, eggs and seasoning, they are an easy and cheap way to throw together a meal. These classic patties, which are also referred to as salmon latkes, croquettes or cakes, may seem out of fashion to the young folks who came of age after the food revolutions of the late 20th century, but for me they will always be the ultimate comfort food. With the explosion of increasingly global ingredients at the ready and the emphasis on fresh food, all steered us away from the pre-1970s casserole-from-a-can type of cookery. And yet, classic old-time foods remain beloved, if not perhaps back in fashion.

No one in my mom’s or grandma’s generation made salmon croquettes with fresh salmon. Canned food had become popular during the Civil War, and even more so during WWI, when soldiers needed food that was convenient, safe and tasty. Canned salmon in particular became a household staple during the Depression, when meals had to be nutritious but also as cheap as possible, made with inexpensive proteins and stretched with filler to feed the whole family. New Deal subsidies helped make canned salmon economical enough for most of the immigrant and first-generation Jewish families at the time. And because salmon is kosher and pareve (neither meat nor dairy), the canned kind became ubiquitous in Jewish households, because fresh salmon was neither cheap nor readily available.

Beyond the convenience, ease and cost, salmon croquettes occupy a particular place in my heart because they were also my mother’s last meal before she passed away. She didn’t know it would be the very last thing she ate when she fussed about the kitchen fixing up a batch of salmon croquettes for lunch. But had she known, my mother would have chosen them anyway. They were among her favorite foods and she made them at least once a week for as long as I can remember. As she used to say, “you just mix a can of salmon with an egg and as much matzah meal or bread crumbs as you need to shape them into patties.”

It was the only dish my mother prepared just for herself, and, if I were visiting, for me too. That particular day, my aunt was over and the two sisters shared a salmon latke lunch while discussing whatever two older widowed women talk about in private.

My dad had always refused to eat salmon croquettes because his mother made them so often when he was a kid, he had “enough for a lifetime,” he explained. They were a Jewish staple as far as we knew: Everybody’s mother or grandmother made them for lunch or for a “dairy” meal in the summer, capped off with sliced bananas and sour cream sprinkled with sugar.

The recipe didn’t deviate too much, though my mom would sometimes mixed in fresh dill and a chopped scallion if she had. She shaped them about 1-inch thick and fried them in vegetable oil. We would eat them hot or cold, plain or with sliced tomatoes, and during Passover, on matzah.

While have moved more towards using fresh salmon when I make them, I still sometimes revert to using canned salmon (red, just like my mother said). I’ve added a little of this and that too: one of my family’s favorites includes mashed potatoes and fresh spinach. The thing is, the “recipe” for salmon croquettes is so basic it asks the modern cook to do what our grandmas did: add a bissel of this or that, perhaps some harissa, grated fresh ginger, horseradish or soy sauce. I’ve seen recipes that call for mustard, cooked peas, shredded carrots, chopped jalapenos or grated onion. Some people coat the patties with panko before frying them, to give them extra crispiness. And the latest version: salmon croquettes made in an air fryer!

Salmon latkes. Croquettes. Whatever you call them, they’re still going strong. After all, what’s old is always new again.

My mom died suddenly, unexpectedly, an hour or so after enjoying that lunch. I always feel a little sad when I make salmon croquettes, remembering that day. But I also smile to myself, knowing how much she enjoyed that last simple, perfect meal.

˙⋆ ⁎⋆✩ Meal inspiration ✩° .* ✮˙

Do you struggle on a daily basis when it comes to thinking of something to eat? Are you tired of eating the same thing or do you want to get some new ideas? Then you might like this post!

I've been working on several meals and snack ideas and compiled them into one post. I'll be covering breakfast/lunch, drinks, and snacks.

I highly recommend making a small amount first so you can experiment a little bit and see if you even like it at all. Just be creative with it and try not to waste food (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

If I come up with more ideas I'll definitely make a part 2! Tell me what recipe you liked the most and share some of your ideas in the comment section or pm me (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡

(Feedback is appreciated but keep it respectable)

.• °★ Breakfast & Lunch ★° • .

I chose to merge Breakfast and Lunch because I feel like the recipes could be eaten for both times of the day. It depends on what you prefer (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

Grains

- Porridge (~180-250 kcal)

(Wholegrain, Oats and more). I love making sweetened porridge with cinnamon and skimmed milk or vegan milk (oat milk or light soy milk). You can also make it more nutritious and filling by adding fruits!

Ingredients

- Grains 40~50 gr (depends on how thick you like your porridge. I prefer it on the thicker side) (~175 kcal)

- skimmed milk or vegan milk 300 ml (~90 kcal)

- (optional) spices (ground cinnamon, -nutmeg, -cloves) or vanilla extract

- (optional) add fruits if you like??

You can prepare the oats/grains in a pan or in a microwave safe bowl with intervals.

(TIP: Oats like to soak up moisture. You can also make these one night beforehand without heating it up. These are called overnight oats. Don't like the result? You can always just heat it up anyways ^-^)

- Cereals (~200-300 kcal)

I really like cereal but it's always so high in calories. I do feel like going for something like granola and muesli are the better options. You can eat those with 0% fat (vegan) yogurt, milk and quark. The instructions are pretty self-explanatory but you can try being creative with this by adding fruits (more volume) (^～^;)ゞ

- Rice Cakes (~260-360 kcal)

It depends on what brand you use but I suggest going for flavoured rice cakes. This adds more depth to the end product and there are many low-cal options! Snack-a-Jacks has very nice options varying from 30-61 kcal per rice cake.

You can go for sweetened rice cake and add toppings to your liking! I love going for a chocolate flavoured rice cake (61 kcal) topped with a bit of a chocolate spread (~59 kcal) and some berries (~25 kcal). It's so good!

If you prefer a savory meal, try going for a BBQ Bell pepper flavoured rice cake (37 kcal) topped with low-fat cream cheese spread (~40 kcal) with herbs, lettuce and some cucumber!

- Crackers & Knäckebröd

Likewise rice cakes, these have some nice options varying between ~24 and 59 kcal. I like topping these with savory stuff or with a fruit spread (like jam or marmalade).

I like topping this with low-fat cream cheese (~40 kcal) herbs, smoked salmon (~45 kcal) and cucumber. Very delicious and nutritious!

- Breads (200-450 kcal?)

Honestly, bread is becoming a fear food for me but it doesn't have to be this way. There are a lot of small breads that can be enjoyed without panicking! You can buy pre-baked breads like thin bagels that you only have to prepare in the oven or air-fryer. Depending on what you choose, one serving of this bread can be about 100-346 kcal.

Let's say you have a baked wholegrain triangle shaped bun (~270 kcal). You can slice this in half and now you have 2 pieces. You can add toppings like a low-fat sauce (mayo, cream cheese etc.) (~40-60 kcal), something that has protein like a slice of ham, salmon or vegan tuna (~25-45 kcal), some veggies like lettuce, cucumber and or cherry tomatoes and finally add herbs like chives, thyme, dill and rosemary. It all depends on what you like but you can really enjoy bread without feeling bad! Depending on what ingredients you used this yields two servings (two halves of the bun) making it around 200-250 kcal per serving.

You can also do this with a toasted piece of bread making it even lower in calories!

- Rolls (~200-400 kcal)

I'm talking about (wholewheat) tortillas and rice paper. They are so great! There are so many recipes online for wraps, burritos and spring rolls and more. you can get really creative with this.

I really love making wraps! I usually use a big wholewheat tortilla (~178kcal) and fill it up with something that contains lots of protein, veggies, a creamy substance and herbs. You can eat these as, warm up the tortilla beforehand in a pan or put it in a double grill. It really depends on what you're going for.

Some examples;

- Herby chicken wrap

A wrap filled with baked chicken breast seasoned with herbs, pepper and salt, some light mayo, bell pepper and lettuce.

- Light cream-cheese & smoked salmon wrap

A wrap filled with lettuce, (optionally baked in a pan) smoked salmon, low-fat cream cheese with herbs.

- hummus & veggies wrap

A wrap filled with smoked/ grilled bell peppers, arugula, lettuce and hummus.

Ever tried fresh spring rolls? I highly suggest making these since they are low in calories and so healthy and delicious! There are so many recipes available online and there are so many vegan options for these as well.

.• ° ★ Drinks ★ ° •.

I'm not saying that you should replace all your meals with Diet Coke. This section is to give you some perspective of how you can make your beverages more interesting or even replace a meal.

Meal replacements

This section is supposed to give you some insights on how you can make a healthy drink that is nutritious enough to replace a meal.

- Smoothies (~ 150-200 kcal)

I love making smoothies! You can REALLY get creative with this. I have to say I've never tried making smoothies with veggies but I do encourage you to try it all out!

My go-to basic recipe for this :

~ 1 cup of some fruits

~ 1/2 cup of a low-fat yogurt/ quark

~1/4 -1/2 cup of something liquid like skimmed milk or light soy milk (depends on how thick you like your smoothies)

(~ optionally, you can add flavoured protein powder and oats to make it more nutritious)

I do suggest to taste the mixture during this whole process! Sometimes you'll need to add more liquid or more fruit. I also like to add flavours such as zero sugar vanilla syrup or cinnamon and nutmeg depending on the fruits I used.

- Meal replacement shakes: upgraded

I've tried meal replacement shakes before and I found the taste to be quite weird to be honest. I noticed that adding fruit made it a whole lot better! This is basically a variation to smoothies but it's really specifically for these kinds of shakes.

There is no recipe for this because it depends on the brand but I recommend fruity or vanilla flavours. You just follow the instructions on the packaging by adding the powder and the liquid to your blender. Add the fruits to your liking (I'd say about half a cup) and blend until smooth.

Cold Drinks

I really like cold drinks like iced coffee lattes or fruit milks but I honestly forget to drink most of the time. Maybe these suggestions will spark some joy and make you drink those (at least) 2 Liters that you need!

- Coffee (~0-60 kcal)

It sounds so basic and stupid but I really prefer my coffee cold and creamy. Even though it sounds so basic you can really get creative with coffee. There are over 20 kinds of coffee blends! Imagine what you can whip up at home :D

My go-to coffee is a latte with sweetener, skimmed milk or light soy and a low calorie syrup like hazelnut, vanilla or caramel.

- Fruity Milk (~ 50-100 kcal)

You can drink this as a snack, self-care drink or to include some fruit in your meal. Whatever reason you may have it is delicious! You cut up some fruit like banana, strawberry or mango and add it your blender with some skimmed or vegan milk. Depending on how much you want to make, I'd say start with a 1:1 ratio. 1/2 cup of fruit and 1/2 cup of liquid. You can add either one of the two as you go.

I recommend tasting the end result before serving. If it's lacking sweetness you can add a bit more fruit or use sweetener!

- Flavoured Water/Iced Tea (~0-5 kcal)

This is a must-have in the summer because it's just so refreshing and it's easy as well!

You basically store some fruits and herbs in some water. I suggest a big bottle or a pitcher.

Add the flavouring (make sure to clean your fruits very well. I even suggest leaving them in a water bath for 5 minutes in case there are insects and pesticides.) For the flavours you can use fruits, herbs, spices and more! Just anything that you would like. I love the combination of watermelon, strawberry and cucumber. But sometimes a simple flavour like lemon or lime can be so good as well!

I suggest adding some sweetener if you like your end result a bit sweet. You can compare this to making (iced) tea!

Iced tea is very easy to make. Just brew your favourite tea and add some sweetener then leave it for about 5-10 minutes. Now you can just store it in the fridge and after about 30 minutes you have iced tea. If it's too strong, just add some water.

(TIP: Use carbonated water for the flavoured water recipe for a fizzy result! If you like your iced tea fizzy as well, just make sure that you make a highly concentrated tea and mix the end result with carbonated water and voila!)

- Zero Calorie Drinks/Energy Drinks

Honestly, these can be lifesavers if you lack the energy or you crave a coke or something. There are so many brands that sell zero calorie drinks like Coca Cola and Monster. I also really like the brand 'Candy Can. They have a very cute assortment of candy flavoured drinks. There are a lot of different brands out there and I recommend trying it all out!

.• ° ★ Snacks ★ ° •.

I don't snack that much but when I do I usually end up bingeing. It can be hard to control this kind of behaviour when you don't live on your own or when you are too tired to make something. That's why I'll try to help you with this section (^-^)/

Veggies & Fruits

I know it sounds boring but hear me out, fruits and veggies are low in calories, high in fibre and vitamins and good for your stool. For these reasons and more you should really try to eat these as a snack. And you don't have to eat these plain!

- Veggies and Hummus/Dip (~100-150kcal)

Sure, some people enjoy their veggies plain or with a bit of seasoning but for other people this just doesn't cut it. It's too plain or it doesn't satisfy you enough. This is why you can cut up your veggies in sticks and dip them in a yummy paste like hummus or a salad.

With salad I mean a thick paste usually made out of mayo, seasoning and eggs, fish or meat. I think it's a dutch thing but you can easily make this yourself! My favourite is a chicken curry salad.

- Mixed Fruit Salad (~50-100 kcal)

This is basically a salad made of cut up fruits and thrown into a bowl. I really love eating these and you can add a bit of low-fat yogurt, sweetener and lemon juice to make a fruity fresh salad!

- Frozen Fruit Bark (~25-100kcal)

These are very fun to make if you have some time left and want to prep a future snack. I saw a video online and it honestly looked so nice. You basically mix some low-fat yogurt with sweetener or honey and some fruit. Pop them in the freezer and cut them up in bars!

- Fruit Popsicle (~20-60kcal)

These are so refreshing during spring and summer! You basically make a smoothie out of fruit, optionally sweetener and yogurt. You pour the mixture into your popsicle moulds and throw them in the freezer. I really love making these with mangoes and low-fat vanilla yogurt/ quark. For a creamy texture you have to make sure to blend thoroughly until it's smooth and there mustn't be any lumps or bits!

Grains

- Mini Flavoured Crackers/Rice Cakes (69-96kcal)

These are perfect replacements for crisps in my opinion! They are crispy and come in various flavours. From sweet to savory!

- Mini Wholegrain (Flavoured) Cookies (~200-250 kcal for a whole package)

These are great if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. You could even finish a whole pack without feeling too guilty. !

- Wholegrain Bars (~100-150kcal)

You can make these yourself or buy them at the grocery store. I feel like you'd be better off financially by making them yourself. This way you have more control over the size and ingredients. There are many recipes for these!

Ugh I was fine in the wee hours of this morning but when i woke up later i felt SO CRUMMY. Just. Fevery sickiness.

Which is really frustrating because i had goals today. Mom asked me to put dishes away and i reeeaaaally need a shower and i try to do litter boxes before then because they make me feel icky. Just those 3 things.

But i felt like death when i got up.

I did manage to put maybe 1/3 of them away.. And mom got sick and tired of doing dishes and left a sink full soaking. So I finished those for her. Picked up some trash in the kitchen.

And then i made myself real food! Stuck some salmon cakes in the air fryer and steam microwaved some squash. It felt fairly healthy.

And then we got cookies my sister ordered from a friend. Snickerdoodles. I'm not crazy about homemade cookies but those snickerdoodles are GOOD. 👀 So i felt like i earned my cookie.

Trying to gather the spoon for a shower. I think I'll push the litterboxes though.... I have a hard time on a non-sick day getting a new tub of litter up the stairs i think I'll wait and ask bro. 👀💦

Everyone's been pushing themselves to make sure some things get done even though they're sick and

I'm over here with just the lowest constitution known to man 😥
