Good Hearty Food: Stuffed Clams

Stuffed Clams - updated

Well last night was a little different, we had Stuffed Clams, but not home made. We have found that the Kroger Brand of stuffed Clams sold locally by Fry's are quite good. So every once in a while we pick up a box, pop them in the oven and cook them. Then enjoy the clams with a little lemon squeezed over them and a dash or two of Tabasco sauce.

A nice tossed salad along side makes for an enjoyable meal.

Update 2/7/11
We tried some from our local Sprouts Farmers Market last night. Very disappointing - They were the consistency of mashed potatoes, very little spices and of all things - both red and green peppers. We DO NOT RECOMMEND them.

Update 2/1/11
I should tell you the last batch we bought had shrunk in size considerably. Don't know about the weight though - Disappointing.

The recipe is up! check here Stuffed Clams (Baked)

Update 1/07/11

We are working on a recipe for Baked Stuffed Clams. There have been so many "hits" on them, we thought it appropriate to post a recipe. But as always, nothing is posted until we are satisfied with the recipe and it tastes really good.

Kroger "New England Style" Stuffed Clams are among the worst. Pasty, lacking in flavor, and LACKING IN CLAM! Check the ingredients list: all sorts of chemicals and actual clam is near the bottom of the list. Definitely not a New England Stuffed Clam.

Right on the mark Nergo. You of course noted we no longer recommend them!
Try our own recipe they are excellent without any addatives

I disagree. For $6.00 I get 12 large stuffed clams that are so easy to heat up

There have been so many "hits" on them, we thought it appropriate to post a recipe. But as always, nothing is posted until we are satisfied with the recipe and it tastes really good.

9/26/10- Addition :
A link has been added to an auxillery blog that delves into the interesting and sometimes unusual things that make life easier while cooking. "TIPS" give it a look! It will be updated as topics of relevence are remembered. Thanks for your patients.

9/22/10 - Changes :
The header picture has been changed; the winter scene seemed too cold. Hopefully the serenity of the placid water is more soothing and appealing.

9/6/10 - Home prepared Meat.

Well we went to the grocery and bought about 20 lbs of pork chops, 18 lbs. of chicken breasts and 25 lbs of chicken leg quarters. On sale no less. Well out of the pork, we managed about 6 nice pork chops, the rest I cut off the bones and cleared most of the fat and ground it into ground pork. It is so much nicer knowing what goes into your ground meat. And of course the pork was NOT INJECTED/Tenderized.

As far as the chicken goes, the legs always come with the backs, excess fat and sometimes even the tail, all of which was removed before freezing. The breasts were much better, not much in the line of waste, but a good washing and into packages of two before freezing.

This is one of our ways of dealing with the bad economy along with providing ourselves with better food.

We also grind our own chicken and turkey, when it’s on sale.
