Finger food is a little misleading … You can easily and neatly eat these with your hands.
If you’re a meat and potatoes fan you’ll be so into these! What I like about this for a crowd … First, it’s amazingly delicious! Secondly, each provides a serving … It’s easy to calculate for a crowd. For appetizers a potato half for each guest.
Stephen, I know you’re gonna love these!
No one wants to spend time in the kitchen when the game’s on. Back in the day most women went out on game day … Maybe took in a movie. Shopping was out … stores weren’t open Sundays.
Super Bowl Sunday the television room will be filled with everyone. Even gramma has a fav team. So, let’s make the spread quick and easy. Here are two favorite sliders with one basic recipe.
Do you have a New Year’s Resolution? Some years I do. This year I feel a need. I’m in the last quarter as Bruce Jenner had said. Episode? (Yep, I’ve been known to watch the Kardashians. Don’t tell.) In my own little observation study a jock grows older with some advantages. I just attended my high school class reunion … Graduation was decades ago … Nope, not telling. Everyone in this high school swim team, seniors only, picture remains fit. (Roger died in the Vietnam War.) Don’t get me wrong. There’ve been some physical challenges but we are holding up well.
So what’s this have to do with my resolution? I’ve been taking advantage, for granted actually, of my genetics and physical resilience! I inherited a musculature similar to my brother’s … remember he played college football. I had these very broad shoulders and tight large muscles I hated but later began to appreciate as my body softened with age. The inset, I’m in my mid-thirties after my children with this biological softening process in full swing. But now I want it to stop! It’s swinging too far in the opposite direction. My first step, I’ve let the gardener go. So far, lots of raking. My fescue is now reaching full length but my compulsiveness hasn’t overridden the chilling 30 degrees.

For the month of January I’m focusing on a lighter menu. First up is my Grandmother Rose’s favorite chowder, Manhattan Clam Chowder. I’m not a clam connoisseur as she, taking clams right off the beach and eating them raw. I’ll be using the very best canned clams. Use fresh if you like. Such an easy recipe!
#1 CHICKEN BREASTS BAKED WITH PASTA
#2 PORTUGUESE BEANS WITH LINGUICA
This was last year! This year something different but what? Stay tuned! Enjoy this dinner recipe in the meantime, Standing Rib Roast Dinner.
Here’s a really simple recipe I’ve used for many years. I like to add M & M’s but there is definitely a trick in adding these to the popcorn balls. And I had forgotten until I made these today. You can add other candies like licorice bits, gum drops (both easier to handle), or nuts. Almonds are good.
-BARBECUED LINGUICA “HOT DOGS” WITH HOMEMADE BUNS
-PORTUGUESE WHITE BEANS (BAKED BEANS)
-CLASSIC BEST FOODS POTATO SALAD – MY VERSION
These Portuguese Rolls are the perfect bun for my linguica hot dogs. The ease and success of this recipe will have you and your family smiling.
Another Perry Family Recipe, Portuguese White Baked Beans. About 10 minutes to prep and some hours in the oven and you will see why our family is still talking about this recipe 50 years later. Thank you Margaret. Enjoy, Danny and Leonard!
This repost is for you Dad! His favorite cream pie. He didn’t get to experience the peanut butter cookie crust. And I’m not sure he would enjoy anything other than the tradition crust with his pie.

Loved cooking for Dad.
Miss You!
I’m not saying this meal will need the Ketchup I made for my last post but some just like my homemade ketchup.
Today I’m putting together a hearty man pleasin’ dinner everyone will enjoy. And I bet Dad won’t mind helping with the grilling on his brand new barbecue. So what’s on this menu?
Oven roasted sliced russet potatoes with parsley and garlic butter
Grilled marinated beef rib kabobs.
And a great day to revisit my donut posts: Spice Cake Donuts, Filozes Portuguese Donuts, and Donuts With An Attitude.
The Spice Cake Donuts still stand tall! I love cake donuts!
This Portuguese donut recipe is a variation of filozes … made without yeast. Whipped up in minutes and meant to be eaten immediately. The traditional with yeast is on the menu soon.
Donuts with an Attitude was my attempt to recreate the famous croissant donut cross. While it was delicious the appearance and lightness were not close enough to the original. I haven’t given up.
If you need an excuse to eat a donut … today is your day!
