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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 is truly an elegant dish with just a hint of meat in the sauce. Of course if you want a truly vegetarian dish, then leave out the prosciutto. However, it does kick it up to another level! Notice that the eggplant is not fried, but baked. Another plus for this delicious dish. You could […]
I particularly love to do this sauce in the summer with the ripe Roma or Plum tomatoes and the fresh herbs. It freezes really well and is wonderful when blended with a good jarred sauce. I have gotten rave reviews on this one. It is a pure taste of summer pulled from the freezer in […]
I know this is probably more of a cold weather meal, but it is delicious one without the use of the oven. Sausage could be started in the skillet and finished on the grill before putting it back in the skillet with the wine sauce. This is simple, but a real winner. The more rustic […]
Marinara Sauce This sauce is from Southern Italy and is usually made with tomatoes, garlic, onions, herbs, and sometimes some type of seafood. Marinara comes from the word marine, therefore indicating some seafood was within the dish. Today’s marinara sauces still include the basic ingredients, but not necessarily the seafood. Actually a good sauce […]
These are my favorite potatoes because you don’t have to add any butter or sauce to flavor them. They are wonderful just as is. They come out all creamy and delicate with the flavor of the garlic, oil and herbs. The potatoes should be about an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter, […]
