New England Clam Chowder
2007-01-26 18:09:00
I am a soupaholic. I admit it. Spring, summer, fall, or winter…soup rocks. I think that the winter months bring out everyone’s craving for the hot, sometimes thick, slide down your throat and make you all warm inside type of meal that can be eaten with a spoon and out of a bowl. Unless of course, you decide that soup doesn’t rock. Maybe you’ve eaten rocky soup. I’ll never forget the very first

Tomato, Mozzarella, Basil Focaccia Toast
2007-01-20 21:37:00
This recipe makes an excellent appetizer for a crowd of 50 or for just one. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s really yummy. I could eat about 10 of these myself. Especially while I’m reading. There is nothing better. Except if you’re reading and eating while you’re lying down in bed. Then you get crunchy crumbs all over the fresh sheets and your spouse might kick you out of the bed and ask you to

Happy New Year Everyone! Boy, have I got a recipe for you today. But you can only eat it while you’re by yourself, that’s why the recipe only serves one.
