Special Shrimp!

Sometimes simple is better then anything. Shrimp has always been a very simple but yet very delightful way to pleasure your self. It tastes amazing and always surprises.
Takes minutes to cook and minutes to enjoy! Take a big bowl and fill it up with water, spices of your liking and salt/pepper. Wait until it boils and throw the shrimp right in. When they are red, there ready. Shouldn't take more then 3-5 minutes! You can have shrimp with what ever you like. Usually we have it with the ''special sauce''.

Lecho!

Lecho is pickled salad made from sweet peppers and tomatoes. Its piquant taste will give a new relish to meat dishes, if you serve lecho as garnish.
Remove seeds from sweet peppers and cut into strips. Slice tomatoes and chop onion finely. Put vegetables in an enamel pan, season to taste and stew for 10 minutes. Put the salads tightly in jars, top with the juice and sterilize in boiling water for 25-30 minutes.

The Italian Wedding Soup!

Coming from Rhode Island, a very ethnic state, this soup was traditionally served at Italian weddings. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. The whole process takes about 30 minutes. In medium bowl, combine meat, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, basil and onion powder; shape into 3/4 inch balls. In large saucepan, heat broth to boiling; stir in escarole, orzo pasta, chopped carrot and meatballs. Cook at slow boil for 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Stir to prevent sticking.



After you got everything ready and the soup is ready to be served, call your party to give it a try! It should turn out looking like this!

Ribs, Pasta and Some Greens!

Alright, we are going to start this off simple but yet delicious. How many of you enjoy the taste of freshly cooked ribs with that bbq sauce dripping off them. Ok, you don't have to answer. I know i love the smell and the taste you get right when there are done! So, throw them in for about 20 minutes in the oven. The only thing is left is time!

Now, we can start on the pasta. Simple 10 minutes in boiling water. This pasta is Trafila
Ruvida di Bronzo. Very good choice but a bit pricey, you will taste the difference. You can go ahead and fix your self up with a little greens plate you wont regret it!


Pasta is ready, ribs are just about to be taken out and you are ready to enjoy a simple but very effective way to pleasure your tummy! Enjoy everyone!
