Big Joe's Weekend Recipes

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.

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...

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.
