Perfect meal for a rainy and chilly day, and we do get these here in upstate New York until Memorial Day. This was dinner tonight for me.
Shrimp Scampi With Linguine
This is extremely easy! Try with the addition of freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese to top. A splash of dry white wine or dry sherry along with the lemon juice would go very well here too. I omit the thinly-sliced lemon as I find it a bit too overpowering here and I also add…
New York Cheesecake
Authentic New York cheesecake and I should know…I hail from Brooklyn, NY (where Junior’s is located and went to college right by there–shameless plug for Brooklyn Poly, now Polytechnic Institute of NYU).

Maple Dijon Chicken
Maple Dijon Chicken Here’s the ingredients–I know it’s expensive, but pure maple syrup is the best here. You can often find Grade B syrup at a lower cost. Nothing wrong with it; it’s just a bit darker than the Grade A. Perfect for cooking (and on waffles, pancakes, etc. but not as pretty as light…
