Van De Kamps frozen fish sticks and frozen clams. A meal I remember from childhood, complete with the little frozen packet of relish we mixed with Miracle Whip to create tartar sauce. I remember the sound accompanying preparation: frozen chunks of seafood (or what resembled seafood) cascading through the air to clatter and bang onto […]
Gluten Free Ziti with Sausage & Veggies :: Friday Foodie
Okay, glorious Readers. I promised this recipe long ago, and most of you have been patiently waiting.

My favorite thing about this dish is that every savory bite is a perfectly nutritionally balanced… and as you’re gathering, we’re all about the balance. Also, they freeze […]
