Depression Era Corn Chowder
This is the recipe my grandmother used when she was growing up during the great depression. 70 years later, it's still a delicious, satisfying form of comfort food. Serve immediately with saltine crackers. Tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator over night. In my grandmother's day, they would have 'refrigerated' it on the back porch overnight!
Grilled Broccoli Rabe
Broccoli rabe, also called rapini, is known for its slightly bitter and peppery taste. Blanching it before grilling helps tone down the bitterness. Squeeze lemon wedges over the top when serving, if desired. It is excellent served alongside grilled Italian sausages and thick crusty bread.
Crab Rangoon Casserole
This crab rangoon casserole, a noodle casserole with surimi in a creamy, cheesy sauce, and topped with crisp wonton chips, is as rich and delicious as your favorite crab Rangoon appetizer.
