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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
