Unfortunately, due to how fattening pasta is for me, I could eat fettuccine for breakfast, lunch and dinner yet never get tired of it. There are a million swanky fettuccine recipes, we even had one in Washington D.C. at a restaurant called “Cantina di Italia”, that had caviar in it which was out of this…

DUAL EFFORT HOMEMADE RAVIOLI
I’m calling my recipe for ravioli “dual effort” because it is so hard to roll the dough that I felt like my arms were going to fall off. Just as an “angel from Heaven”, little Douggie came to my rescue. The dough is very thick and “elastic-like” which keeps shrinking as you try to keep…

BETTY’S ITALIAN DRESSING
Good Ole’ B. Crocker has done it again. What a gal! This is definitely a little less caloric than the creamy Italian dressing I have listed. 1 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup white vinegar 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. dry mustard 1/2 tsp. paprika 1/2 tsp. dried oregano…

JOANNE CARSON’S CAESAR SALAD A LA SHELLY WINTERS
“I tried to learn how to cook when I first married Johnny”, said Joanne Carson, referring to her marriage to Johnny Carson. Johnny always said, “I didn’t marry Betty Crocker!” “A Betty Crocker, I’m not. I would copy a recipe from the book, look at the picture of the dish and make my own version….
MARGARET’S SEAFOOD SALAD
This seafood salad is a BBQ party hit. It always tastes better when Doug makes it for some reason, which isn’t all bad because then I don’t have to do the cookin’! 3/4 pkg. salad macaroni (tubetti) 1-2 cans of crabmeat (depending on how much you like the people you’re making it for), drained 1-2…
RED POTATO SALAD WITH CARAWAY
It sounds crazy because I love to cook, but I have never been able to make potato salad worth a darn until now, thanks to this neat little recipe. Success at last! This, too, is much tastier the next day. 3 lbs. small new potatoes 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar 2-3 TBS. sugar 1/4 tsp. paprika…
SHRIMP AND CELERY SALAD WITH WARM DILL DRESSING
This is absolutely mouth-watering. It’s a nice, light salad to serve before a heavier lamb or beef entree. The only time consuming part of this is peeling and de-veining the shrimp. 4 quarts water, lightly salted 36 medium shrimp, shelled and de-veined 6 celery stalks cut into l-inch pieces, cut on a slant (///) 3…
