Sullivan Farms

Boy am I spoiled!!! I’m an ice cream lover and live less then a mile away from Sullivan Farms. They have some of the best ice cream around!! I’ve been holding out on this place for way too long, so here’s the “scoop”!

http://www.sullivanfarmsicecream.com

Sullivan’s has over 100 flavors of frozen treats. The reason I say frozen treats is because those 100 flavors include yogurt (The food guy does not support the consumption of frozen yogurt as a substitution for ice cream, but the food girl gives the yogurt her seal of approval).

I went there last night and went with the Coffee Heath Bar…It was awesomely creamy and had nice chunks of Heath Bar….Delectable!

Some of their other standout flavors include: Cookie Dough, Black Raspberry chip, Cookies Cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Mint Fudge Brownie. The staff is super friendly and there is plenty of parking, and seating. It’s a quick ride up route 3(exit 34) from Boston and well worth the trip!!!

Tell them Guto The Food Guy sent you!!!(Though they might just look at you like your crazy)

Dad's Vongola

This is my fathers dish and it’s awesome! Vongola means clam in Italian, so I guess this recipe is called, “dads clam.”!!!!

This is REALLY easy to make and as the kids say….. It’s THE BOMB!

Here is what you’re going to need:
1 Fresh lemon
3 cloves of garlic
Salt/Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped
1 ½ pound of fresh chopped clams (utilize juice)
4 oz of clam juice
¾ stick of butter
1 pound linguini or spaghetti

~Coat a large frying pan with olive oil, add butter and cook on low/medium heat.
~Once butter is melted add the garlic, salt, pepper.
~Next you’re going to add the clams, clam juice and lemon juice. Cook for about five minutes.
~Add parsley and then toss with cooked pasta.

Serve immediately with some nice Pecorino Romano cheese!

Buon appetito!!!

Quick dinner for under ten bucks!!!!!

I made this super easy dinner for the food girl and myself a few nights ago! It was delicious and only took me about ten minutes!! Enjoy it with some Italian bread and a nice salad!

1 bag Trader Joe's Seafood Medley(shrimp, scallops, calamari)
1 can Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce
1 Pound Trader Joe's Linguine

In a large sauce pan boil water for pasta. While water is boiling cook the seafood in a bit of oil or butter in a large saute or sauce pan. When the seafood is pretty much cooked add the canned sauce and let simmer. Serve over linguine or spaghetti with grated cheese!

*Jazz up the sauce with whatever you like, I used garlic and crushed red pepper!!

*You can also cook the seafood in the sauce, but it takes longer.

A few great events!
