Welcome to The Karney Family Recipe Site!

I have many vivid and wonderful memories of family and friends gathering around the table to celebrate holidays, special events and just the companionship of one another. Meals were always a special event whether eaten at a table with cloth napkins, holiday decorations and the good china, or on a picnic table with a red checked tablecloth on a balmy summer day.

Throughout history, meals have always occupied a special place in the world's great religions. As we gather for sustenance and companionship, we are in our most vulnerable human condition, and that's where the Divine enters. This is precisely why mealtime is sacred and shouldn't be subservient to television, texting and other interruptions. We need each others companionship and the opportunity to be fully human so much that we can't let distractions overwhelm us.

My wife Natalie, and I have always enjoyed cooking, and as our sons, Jared, Jeff and Kevin got older, they all became good cooks. I had been working on putting together a book of both traditional family recipes and favorite newer recipes, but how do you ever say such a thing is done. So, I decided that the best solution would be to put the recipes online where they would be available to friends and family, and now of course to anyone else who is interested. And now we have added three wonderful daughters-in-law, Izabella, Amie and Katy, who with their extended families, I'm sure will be contributing some wonderful recipes.

So. Make some great food, gather around the table with your loved ones and strangers as well, give thanks to God, share your stories and celebrate life.

Smoked Salmon, Basil and Zucchini Appetizer

Appetizers, Seafood

Jun 202016

This is a quick, delicious, summer appetizer that I came up with. We’re always looking for new uses for zucchini. I will usually make this from the first zucchini off the vine and it celebrates the beginning of the summer bounty.

Quantities are approximate and of course it all depends on the size of your zucchini and how much salmon you have. Seasonings are of course to taste.

Smoked Salmon Basil and Zucchini Appetizer

Ingredients

4 - 6 oz. piece of smoked salmon (not lox)
Whipped cream cheese
Garlic powder
Paprika
2 small to medium zucchini
Fresh basil leaves, sliced into strips
Small jar roasted red peppers, sliced into strips and then 1 inch lengths

Instructions

Shred the salon with a fork into a small bowl.
Add enough cream cheese to make a spreadable mixture.
Season with garlic powder and paprika and mix well.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4 inch rounds.
Spread with the salmon mixture.
Top with basil and 1 or two pieces of red pepper.
