Classic New England Clam ChowdaManhattan is a red soup, New England is a white chowder, and ours is a buttery yellow. This is the simplest, most satisfying chowder I have ever had. NO FLOUR! I really get irritated when I try a "good" restaurant's NE Clam Chowder and 1) can't find the clams, and, 2) can't finish the paste they are passing off as NE Clam… |

Beef Fajita Best MarinadeThis is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This… |

You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf… |

But then I couldn’t stop at that - what would compliment the blueberries? Almonds! Next a binder sauce of yogurt , and quickly this little salad-making side trip became a beautiful and healthy brunch slaw! You’ll… |
