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 […]

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 […]

Sippican Harbor Crab Supreme

This is a great dish for those “no time to cook nights”.  It gets it’s name for a harbor in Buzzard’s Bay, Massachusetts.  I found the original recipe years ago and tried it, but found it tasty, but heavy.  I cut the ingredients down, including the mayo and soup.  I also prefer to use Hellmann’s […]

Scallops Supreme

This dish is a scallop lover’s dream come true!  The combination of the shallots, garlic, thyme,  and wine create an elegant sauce.  Keep this up your sleeve for company “wow dishes”!  I love to serve it with grilled asparagus.  If you don’t have the gratin dishes feel free to place it in a glass or […]

Shrimp Scampi on the Barbie

I have cooked this dish many times in a wok on top of the stove, but the grill definitely enhances the flavor of the shrimp.  I actually use a wok with holes made for the grill to cook it in.  It is easier to toss the shrimp to make sure it is cooked evenly.  I […]

Happy as a Clam at High Tide

This recipe calls for the soft shelled clams found along the mud flats of the east coast.  I feel this recipe could be used with any type of clam or mussel.  I have had a clamming license for for nearly twenty years since I quit smoking and I had to have something to do when […]

You Won’t Be Crabby After these Cakes!

This is one of my favorite dishes to make.  I served them at a recent wedding shower I hosted and everyone raved about them.  They are crunchy and filled with delicious chunks of crab.  The sauce is the key to this recipe – Wow!  It is a “lip-smacker”!  Don’t be afraid to work the cakes […]

For Smoked Salmon Lovers

This is by far the easiest dish I make, not to mention it is extremely delicious!  My fresh pesto is always made ahead of time so it truly takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.  You can also use a good store bought pesto.  Your guests will love this!  I have a friend who loves […]

“I’ll Have Another” Delightful Beef Dish

 Funny story about “I’ll Have Another” – I actually picked the horse to win in the Kentucky Derby.  I just loved the sound of the horse’s name.  In addition, the horse had great odds if he won. Too bad I wasn’t there to place a bet. . .  that boy brought home the bacon.  By […]

Creamy Dreamy Shrimp

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 tablespoon to the the […]

Honey of a Fish Dish

Not being fond of the “musky” taste of salmon over the years, I have sought after recipes that disguise it!  This one will melt in your mouth!  Leftovers are great for salads. Skillet Baked Glazed Salmon Use a cast iron skillet, oven-safe non-stick or transfer to rimmed baking sheet after cooking on top of stove […]
