This one-pan creamy baked salmon and orzo features salmon filets on a bed of orzo and vegetables in a cream and Boursin sauce. It all bakes in a single casserole dish, so there's minimal cleanup.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover, gently stir orzo around the edges, leaving salmon filets intact, and return to the oven uncovered. Bake until orzo is tender and creamy and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over salmon, and serve immediately.

Banana-Oatmeal Cake (Screwed-Up Mother's Day Cake)
My mom made this cake for Mother's Day. The cake was in the oven baking. When she realized she didn't add the eggs or salt the recipe called for, she thought it would screw up the cake. But the cake came out so moist and yummy I made her write down the recipe, skipping the eggs and salt. She frosts it with vanilla frosting while the cake is still warm to give it a glazed effect. My family loves this cake.
Cookie Dough for Ice Cream (Eggless)
A wonderful addition to any ice cream. Turn any vanilla ice cream into eggless cookie dough. Much better than the store-bought cookie dough ice cream. NOTE: This does not include the ice cream recipe—just the dough.
Shrimp Cheese Ball
A great party treat.
