Appetizers

Eva from Jamesburg sent us this interesting dip that incorporates all the good tastes of pizza. It's a great dip for your weekend parties, or perhaps for helping to ring in the new year!

I stole this recipe when I was taking a cooking class from my good, friend Joe Romonowski, who I call “Pots and Pans”. Joe is a very, very good chef and Maggie is such a pleasant person, making them a great team.

I really enjoy scallops. They have a nice soft flavor and they take minutes to prepare. Here’s an easy recipe that I put together in about 6 minutes. It works well and the flavors are great. Make sure that your scallops are fresh. They should have a very faint fish smell...

Since we all love and live in a shore state, I got inundated with all kinds of clam recipes. Gayle Hughes from Egg Harbor sent us this recipe using Jersey clams.

This is very simple yet elegant appetizer for your guests. The trick is to make sure that you use a good quality cocktail sauce. I like the extra bite of horseradish. The freshly ground pepper adds a nice kick, too!

While Super Sunday may be the biggest day for football, it’s also the second biggest day for eating! (Thanksgiving of course ranks number one!)
