Big Joe's Weekend Recipes

I don’t know what it is about deviled eggs but I love them. I eat them like Skittles!

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.

Jackie Wright from Point Pleasant sent me this great recipe for an appealing appetizer. It is very good and can be enjoyed any time of year. It's especially good when you can get fresh local crabs from New Jersey.

I have had paella many times. I love it especially with a big glass of Sangria.

One of my favorite drinks of the summer is Sangria. It’s refreshing and goes down easily, especially on a hot summer day. Sometimes too easily.

I like meals that are quick, easy, and require little clean-up. This is one of those dishes. Everything is included right there on the skewer and is cooked together.

It’s a wonder my friend Amy Robinson of Shark River has any time to submit a recipe let alone cook. Amy’s a very busy mom and also the Director of Operations for Holiday Express...

Everyone has that one recipe they are always tweaking, not because they can't get it right, but because there are so many variables that let you take the dish in a slightly different direction each time you make it.

This has become one of my favorite dishes and probably one of the simplest dishes to make for a great dinner party or family dinner. I first came across this dish at a Jersey Shore restaurant...

It's blueberry season in New Jersey so it's the perfect time to make my Blueberry Sour Cream Cake. Use local Jersey Fresh blueberries for this, or even better make this with a batch you picked yourself from one of New Jersey's many "pick your own" farms!
