  1. Baked Oysters

    May 6, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    These are the baked oysters I grew up eating from my great-grandmother. Nothing fancy…best with the freshest oysters you can get. So…really not a good choice for a month without an r in the name.

    Baked Oysters

    1 qt oysters, cooked in juice.
    Saute 3 or 4 stalks celery, parsley, 1 bell pepper, chopped fine, 1 stick butter, 1 large onion (chopped). Toast to light brown 1/2 loaf bread, grated. Pour oysters into vegetables, thicken with bread crumbs. Season with Tabasco, chili powder (lots). Preheat oven to 450. Bake 12-15 minutes or until crumbs on top are toasted and dish is warmed through and bubbly. Serves 6.

  2. Spinach Casserole

    May 1, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    I love spinach. I love spinach casserole. Unfortunately, dietary restrictions keep me from my favorite vegetable. My great-grandmother thought this recipe was good-the hard-boiled eggs in casseroles never did anything for me though.

    Spinach Casserole Recipe Card

    2 pkgs chopped spinach (10 oz pkgs) cooked and drained
    4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
    1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of asparagus/cream of celery)
    Grated sharp cheese

    Mix all together. Top with breadcrumbs and cheese. Bake at 375 until firm.

  3. Tuna with Rice for One

    April 8, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    We do a lot of family sized recipes around here…this one is a nice tuna  just for one. Use cheddar or swiss instead of American. Yes, the cucumber gets cooked.

    1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped
    1 3 1/4 oz can tuna, drained and flaked
    1/4 cup quick cooking rice
    1/4 cup water
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    Dash garlic salt
    1/4 cup shredded American cheese

    In a 12-ounce casserole, combine cucumber, tuna, rice, water, lemon juice and garlic salt. Bake, covered at 350 till rice is cooked-about 25 minutes. Top with cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese melts, 5 or so minutes. Makes 1 serving.

  4. Chopstick Tuna

    March 4, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Crunchy and delicious and oh so retro! Very quick and a crowd pleaser-though the recipe only serves 4-5. It probably won’t please your cardiologist though…the salt and fat is outrageous!

    Chopstick Tuna

    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1 can chow mein noodles
    1 6-9 oz can of tuna
    1 cup sliced celery
    1/2 cup salted toasted cashews
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    Dash pepper

    Mix soup with 1/4 cup water. Add 1 cup chow mein noodles and remaining ingredients; toss lightly. Place in ungreased 10x 6 baking dish. Sprinkle remaining noodles on top.

    Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or till heated. Trim with canned mandarin orange slices. Makes 4-5 servings.
