Ingredients
¼ cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 egg yolk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
Directions
Cream everything but the cake mix together. Then add that in slowly. The batter will get really thick.
Chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. While they're chilling, heat the oven to 375. Grease some cookie sheets. When they're chilled, drop some dough in rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 'em for 8 to 10 minutes at 375.

Ingredients
a few zucchini, or yellow squash
butter
salt
seasonings of your choice (lemon juice, seasoning salt, lemon pepper, whatever)
Directions
Grate up your zucchinis/squash using whatever means you deem necessary. We use our mandolin, which makes this go every so fast. A salad shooter, food processor or box grater would probably work well too though. Put your shreds in a colinder and salt them lightly. Leave them in the colinder for at least 10 minutes. They'll leak, so don't just leave them on your counter. After 10 min is up, squeeze the excess moisture out of them. Put a little pat of butter in a frying pan. You don't need much. I use less than a tablespoon for a TON of squash. Saute them until they're tender, but not squishy. Season them as desired … or just leave them alone. They're great either way.

Ingredients
For the salmon:
1 salmon steak
Salt and pepper
1 tblsp olive oil
For the sauce:
4 oz Pinot Noir
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Pint of blackberries
Zest of one lemon
Directions
Pat salmon dry between paper towels. Sprinkle light with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil over moderately high heat in a non-stick skillet until hot but not smoking and sauté salmon, skin side down, for about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook salmon 4 minutes more. Flip salmon and cook the other side in the same manner (note, however, that it may take a minute or two less to cook the other side thoroughly).
Heat the Pinot Noir and sugar in a small pan. When it comes to a simmer, add the blackberries and lemon zest. Continue to cook until it breaks down slightly but the blackberries keep their form.
Serve the salmon topped with the sauce, or serve the sauce on the side.
