Baked Clams Oreganata
September 30, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Fish/Seafood, Italian Influence |
Food Trend: I love that the new trend in Italian Restaurants is going back to “Old School” Red-Sauce joints. Crisp white tablecloths, the smell of garlic and a waiter with a thick accent and perhaps a tux…this makes me crave two things…fried calamari and baked clams. I’ll save the Calamari for another time, this post […] more

Inspiration: I like to call this a “what-do-we-have-in-the-fridge-that-is-going-to-go-to-bad” dish. It’s 4pm on a Thursday and we have 2 chicken breasts defrosting and all we have in the […] more
