    Shared Recipe Authentic Bolognese Sauce (Sugo Alla Bolognese)

    "A rich, meaty, and zesty "ragu". Bolognese Sauce is the backbone of Northern Italian cooking, and once you try it you'll never toss your spaghetti with store-bought pasta sauce again. However, there are as many recipe versions of this delicious slow-cooked sauce as there are cooks in the Italian city of Bologna. The secret ingredient to a true B..."

    Shared Recipe Mamaw's Good Ol' Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

    "Before moving to Florida, I had never even heard of "Biscuits & Sausage Gravy". This is a recipe of a dear friend's late grandmother, a true Southern lady. For some reason, the guys really go crazy for this dish. Add eggs, cooked your favorite way, and you have a real country-style breakfast. If you don't have time or feel like making the biscui..."

    Shared Recipe Homemade Japanese Steak House Ginger Salad Dressing

    "I love the ginger dressing served on the salad at Japananese steak houses, and this recipe comes as close to it as any others I've tried.
    This recipe makes a lot....But it keeps well in the refrigerator or share with friends and family. If your food processor won't handle the entire recipe, divide the ingredients in half and blend each half separ..."

    Shared Recipe Nana's " Sweet Potato Casserole "

    "With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I felt it was time to post one of my favorite childhood side-dish recipes. My Nana knew how much I loved this casserole, so she always had it on our holiday table. Although she is always in my heart, I feel Nana is right there in the kitchen with me when I make this dish."

    Shared Recipe Shrimp Cocktail - a Classic Appetizer

    "Many say this is a retro appetizer that is "hip" again. I don't remember it ever going out of style. Large shrimp, in my opinion, are better, but any size you can find will do."

    Shared Recipe Angel Hair Pasta With Broccoli and Clams

    "This is nothing fancy, but it is quick, easy, and delicious, and with items usually on my cupboard shelf and in my freezer. This recipe is a great way to get dinner on the table - Pronto! The real bonus of this quick-prep meal: The pasta cooks right in the sauce...only one pan to clean (I love it!!!). This is definitely one of my favorite (and, l..."

    About Me

    I recently celebrated my 16th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just "another day in Paradise."
    I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world.
    I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative.
    My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only "rules of the house."

    Favorite Foods

    I love comfort foods. And I don't mean just old-fashioned American dishes, but also the recipes a Lebanese mother or an Italian or Jewish grandmother would make at a particularly happy time (engagements, birth announcements, ect.) or sad times (bereavement or sickness.) These are just a few examples. The foods that make you think of simpler times are what I think of as comfort foods.
    If I had to choose some favorite foods, they would be...pasta, fresh bread and sweet cream butter, and chocolate. Pretty basic, pretty boring, wouldn't you say?
    If you glance through my recipes, you'll notice that, for the most part, they have one thing in common...they're easy to make. I don't like making anything that involves a major production. That takes the enjoyment out of cooking and makes it more of a chore, at least for me. That's why you won't find many gourmet recipes in my repertoire.
    I've enjoyed being a member of the Recipezaar (now Food.Com) community. If you enjoy only one of my recipes, I'll be happy. I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you.
    Happy Cooking!!! Al
