Has anyone every had or made Hummingbird Cake. The recipe looks delicious! It has mashed bananna, pineapple and pecans with cream cheese frosting. Was looking for a different sort of a dessert for Easter.

Here is a link to the recipe:

It does look a bit decadent too. Only a small piece?

I saw this on the CBS Early Show this morning. They had a segment about recipes for Passover. I'm not Jewish but I would try this recipe anyway, because the finished dish looked delicious! It is from the Meatball Shop in Manhattan and was demonstrated on the show by the owners Michael Chernow and Daniel Holzman.

Kosher Meatballs

Ground Chuck 1-1/4 pounds
Olive oil 3 Tablespoons
Onions 1 ea Coarsely Chopped
Salt 2-1/2 teaspoons
Matzos 3 pieces broken into crumbs
Heinz Ketchup 1/4 cup
Parsley 1/4 bunch Chopped
Chicken livers 1/3 pound Chopped
Eggs 2 ea

Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onions and sauté over a high flame stirring constantly until soft. Add the salt, ketchup and parsley and continue to cook for three minutes. Remove the onions from the heat and set aside and cool. Once cool, add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix thoroughly by hand.

Form into golf ball sized meatballs. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve with your favorite red sauce / or mushroom gravy; perhaps over egg noodles.

I posted this in the thread I made for Aunt Bertha's birthday, but I figured I would add it here so more folks will see it!

Aunt Bertha’s Hot Fudge Sauce

Mix 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark Karo (dark corn syrup, Karo being a brand name)
1/4 cup water

Cook over moderate heat or in microwave, stirring constantly over heat, occasionally in microwave, until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Start checking after 4 minutes if you are using a microwave. Enjoy over ice cream.

It gets all stretchy and chewy when cold - if you put it in the fridge you can stand a spoon up in it, but just rewarm it, and spoon over cold ice cream, or whatever you need good dark chocolate sauce to complement, and there you are!

If you have a "candy thermometer" you can use it, otherwise the test is take a cup of cold water, and drip one drop in. If it just sinks to the bottom and flattens out, keep cooking. If it forms a soft round ball on the way down - it's perfect!

This is supposed to be the original recipe for the clam cakes served up at the Shore Dinner Hall at the now defunct Rocky Point Park, in Warwick, RI. Can't say positively that it is, but it sure tastes the same as I remember them, and the recipe came to me from a very reliable source.
Give them a try - and enjoy!


ROCKY POINT CLAM CAKES

2 1/3 cups flour
1 1/2 tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbl black pepper (important!)
1 1/2 cups clam juice
2 1/2 cups chopped clams (fresh are best, but you can sub with canned if necessary)
3 eggs - separated

Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together egg yolks and clam juice. Add egg yolk mixture to dry ingredients. Add clams. DO NOT OVERMIX!

Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.

Drop by spoons full into hot oil - deep fry at 375 degrees until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.

Makes about 3 dozen.

Easy spaghetti sauce.


I made the clam sauce and just made the sardine style tonight.


Clam spaghetti sauce.

1 can clams - 15 ounce can, undrained.

1 can flavored spaghetti sauce- ounce can.

Olive oil,
Garlic,
Salt,
Pepper,
Basil.


Heat up the oil and toss in the garlic, how ever much you like.

Toss in the clams and sauce, salt and pepper and heat it.

Salt and pepper and add your basil-this is a fast sauce that you can punch up however you like.


Just change out the clams with sardines- for a sardine sauce. I could not even taste them.....
