Mama Musto’s Meatballs

February 24, 2012

Those of you with a keen eye may have noted the lack of one basic recipe in my Italian offerings.  What is spaghetti without meatballs?  This recipe for my mother’s meatballs plugs up that hole.  Now, if only the hole in my heart were as easy to fill.  What…who… am I without my mom?

New England Clam Chowder

February 5, 2012

It’s Super Bowl Sunday!  I’ve only recently discovered that people eat more food on this day than any other holiday except for Thanksgiving.  I’m sure there will be lots of chili and dips galore served today, but I thought it would be fitting to celebrate my favorite football team’s appearance in the Super Bowl by [...]

Sloppy Joes

February 2, 2012

My girls have been after me to post more College Corner recipes for them and their friends at school.  While they were home on winter break, Sara made our favorite sloppy Joes for supper one night; and we all thoroughly enjoyed them with some hasselback potatoes and a big green salad.
