  1. I made this last week for a dinner party and served it with grilled Italian bread and a green salad - everyone came back for 2nds. We don't get razor clams in Australia so I added some pippis. I made this as part off Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game (July - Dec '09)

I am a proud mother of my twins Darius and Constance; also a grade school teacher. You can understand my need for easy, healthy, fast, and fun recipes! I love to cook with my hubby, who runs an Italian restaurant. But in my kitchen, even he doesn't get to boss me around :)
