This is a killer of a recipe and so easy!  The combination of the creamy mascarpone, wine, shrimp, and earthy mushrooms brightened by the spinach and topped off with the crispy salty prosciutto is a dish for special company!  Special hint . . . when transferring the mascarpone cheese from the…

Plum Island Sound Clam Chowder

My original recipe for this chowder appeared in “Cooking Light” back in 2006. I was a great follower of their recipes back then especially, the “Reader Recipe of the Month”, which I submitted this recipe to. With our boat and my clamming license, we would head to the clam bars around Plum Island Sound off […]

Roast Chicken Dinner in a Skillet

Nothing says comfort food to me like a roast chicken dinner.  This delicious recipe is not only easy, but you can work it in during the week.  A 12-inch cast iron skillet is a must or you won’t get the same resulting flavors.  Definitely use Chibata bread for the stuffing cubes.  If you have to […]

Ditch the Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup

If a recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup this is the only way to go.  Maybe you just want a hearty cream of mushroom soup by itself.  Either way this soup is really scrumptious and super easy to make.  You can make it even easier if you just use the presliced white mushrooms that […]

Oven “Fried Chicken Breasts” Revisited

I know you have seen many recipes for “Oven Fried Chicken”, but this one is a “keeper”!  What makes it unique is that instead of buttermilk, which of course would be easier, I use a combination of milk, lemon juice, sherry, and low fat sour cream.  It gives it a very distinctive and moist taste.  […]

The Soup that Heals

Old Fashioned Chicken Soup Studies have shown that what your grandmother use to say was true!  She would say, “If you are coming down with a cold or already have one, get some chicken soup into you!  You can put a variety of vegetables into it – turnip, parsnips, or even kale!  However, the ones […]

A Better Bistro Steak at Home

This steak is a “sleeper”and the shallot, butter, wine sauce finishes it off nicely.  I would lean more toward the 3 minute mark on the cooking if you like the looks of the steaks on the right.  If you wanted a barbeque flavor you could finish it off outside instead of in the oven, but […]

Cream of Tomato Soup and Grown-up Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Who doesn’t love tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches?  Brings you back doesn’t it?  Well this new combo will delight your pallet and wow your guests!  It takes this comfort meal to a new level.  When choosing a cheddar for this recipe make sure it is aged about one year or it will not melt […]

Luscious Lamb Stew

  I don’t know why the chicken broth and the Vermouth works so well in this recipe, but it just does!  Perfect for a chilly night’s meal served with a warm artisan bread loaf.  It’s even better the next day when it has all night to meld those flavors together. Lamb Stew 2 T olive […]

Great Gumbo!

Whenever my husband would visit New Orleans on business he would eat gumbo on a daily basis.  He was quite enamored with the dish.  I had never tried to make it before.  He helped, especially with the roux making (a little tricky).  I took 3 recipes and gave it the ole’ college try and it […]
