Top 5 Things I Cooked

1. Mussels and Clams. One night I filled up the Le Creuset Dutch Oven with Clams, Mussels, garlic, parsley, OO and white wine. I then moved the bucket of goodness from the stove to the table and then Jackie and I, each with a huge hock of bread in hand, devoured the contents.

4. Pesto-Shrimp Pizza
