  1. this recipie was a hit with my guests
     
  2. Being more of a Manhattan type Chowder guy I was looking for a "red" recipe and found a very good one here! I've made this twice now with some minor changes, mostly with different types of seafood including Salmon and Scallops. I think just about any type of seafood would work just fine so I recommend adding what you like. I added a tablespoon of Worcestshire and hot sauce for an added kick. This is definitely a keeper!
     
  3. This is te best seafood chowder that I have ever made or tasted. My family loved it and it will be on our short list of favourites from now on. Great recipe.
     
  4. This is a MUST keep recipe! I tripled this for a beach party we went to, I had fresh blackfish, added a can of whole baby clams and a bag of frozen mixed seafood that was mussels, shrimp, and squid, both tentacles and rings I omited the imitation crab due to personal preference. I heated it up with chopped jalepenos added in with the celery and onion along with some cayenne. I also subbed turnip for the potato which lots of people mentioned they loved in there. The broth was amazing and clean tasting for the lack of a bunch of fat and salt , had grilled ciabatta bread for dipping. Great soup!
     
  5. OMG this was a wonderful template for me to create something DEICIOUS! Some of the ingredients I didn't have on hand. I had regular hickory bacon, used diced tomatoes with green chilies, added 1 c ketchup, 1/2 c white wine, increased the water to 6c (I love soup), and used 1.5 lbs seasfood variety. I also added 3 packets of splenda. It was awesome. I also addred 6 chicken boullion (no chick broth onhand)mexican spices, cajun blend seasoning, oregano, and garlic..all to taste.

I love to cook. Since I quit smoking I have gained weight thus I am into low-fat recipes. The most important thing that I have learned is that if it is low-fat and has no taste why would you eat it. My goal is to have a cookbook filled with wonderful tasting recipes which are low-fat.
