Only had 1 lb of calamari, but kept other ingredients the same and served over pasta. My husband can't stop talking about how good this dinner was. Thanks for posting this great recipe! -
Simply outstanding! My husband is a New York Italian and our Xmas Eve dinner has always been crab sauce. I am a lover of calamari and have been endlessly searching for calamari recipes that my picky husband will eat. I've been eyeballing this recipe for a very long time and am so happy I made it tonight! I doubled the garlic and added a few shakes of crushed red peppers during the sauteeing process. We were in absolute heaven! The calamari was cooked to perfection with this method and even my 3 and 5 year olds had 2 helpings. My husband, the picky one, declared this a total keeper...as did I. WONDERFUL!

<br>Not all carbohydrate foods are created equal, in fact they behave quite differently in our bodies. The glycemic index or GI describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss. This <a href=http://www.glycemicindex.com/>free GI database</a> can be used to find the GI value of your favorite carbohydrate foods that have been tested over the past 25 years from all around the world. You can also check the glycemic load (GL) and grams of carbohydrate per serving.

<br>I have a collection of several Italian cookbooks and I enjoy cooking with my wife. In the past five years we've visited Italy 4 times and each time I come back several pounds heavier.
<br>
<br> The thing that bothers me most are nuisance telephone calls, especially at dinner time.
<br>
<br>
<br>One of my favorite foods is pizza and in particular <li><a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/62122>Pizza Rustica!!!</a></li> which we usually make for Easter.
<br>
<br>I enjoy spending a quiet evening at a local restaurant with my wife. We also get pleasure with our grandkids at our beach house in Ocean City, New Jersey. We have part of the first floor in this triplex.
