Come on In to Our Kitchen (macaroni, grilled, frozen, bread)

[LaceyEx]

Ah Crazy thanx-all I can think of is to hold these friends close as we've enjoyed every post, every idea-cyber hugs and huge thanks to you all.

Agreed my friend and I had a good feeling about this thread when we started it. Kind of "If you build it they will come" theme.
I was wrong about one thing...THEY all built it for us by coming in to Our Kitchen!!!!!

Good morning all. It's another dreary and rainy day here. This year has been unbelievable for weather. But as someone else in another forum pointed out life is good if you have a roof over your head and food to eat. And all of us here have good food to eat. It's all about perspective right?

I went grocery shopping the other day and saw baked stuffed clams in the frozen section. My mother used to get those when I was growing up and I used to love them. I wonder if I will still like them. Either way I am craving them. Does anyone have a good recipe for baked stuffed clams? Please share.

Last night I had oven Italian bread yellow squash and garden fresh green beans. Just call me vegetarian Lisa for the rest of the season, lol. My DH had steak and shoe peg corn(his favorite). I also bought some awesome corn on the cob. I have been eating that for lunch. Yum.

Tonight I am thinking about homemade pizza. I am scrounging for good dough recipes. I printed one out and I'm crossing my fingers that it will be good.

Ok, I'm off to other threads to check in.

Small shells-cooked and cooled
Med shrimp-cooked and cooled or defrosted pre-cooked.
Chopped celery, chopped red onion, chopped red pepper, garlic powder, salt/pepper, tarragon-good sprinkle.
Mix shells w/veggies and mayo.
Before serving add shrimp.

Really great.

Thank you and thank you dogmom

Lacey you can give the speech and of course I got the alcohol covered



To our wonderful friends in The Kitchen Have a drink on us

Better than being covered in alcohol - especially at this hour! Thanks for the tasty mimosas and cheers everyone! The kitchen is batting 1000!

Rye toast for me for breakfast - in just a few actually. Not sure what else to eat today. Maybe that tuna salad - never made it the other day.

Hey - did someone say Champagne?? I'm in! Congrats all around for a thread I really enjoy......I was going to stop by for a quick cup of coffee but I guess I'll have a quick mimosa instead if you don't mind! Hope everyone's day finishes up as nice as it is starting out!

YLisa O've made them back east but no clams here (like the soup nazi in Seinfeld-no soup for you!)

But I used to have the fish store shuck the clams, give me the shells.

I'd take the shells-lay in a clam, mix bread crumbs (Ital seasoned), oregano, pepper, olive oil til moistened.

Top each clam, drizzle lit more olive oil and bake 350 about 15-20 min.

I make a casino clam dip from canned clams if you'd be interested.

I triple what my friend Crazy stated.

Morning Toos and GC.

It is 9:30 and I already know what I am making for dinner...that's a first. Must be the champagne...LOL

Today I am making Chicken Cacciatore...one part Lacey's one part Kelsie's one part Crazy's...can't lose.

[LaceyEx]

Trifecta of cacciatore's.

Good morning!

Thanks for the mimosa~I'm hoping to run off for some peach picking today> Last time we tried we had to cancel cause of all the rain & like YLisa says it is looking dreary again!

Everyone have a great day & Congrats on your 1,000 post!
