There are times when you will have friends or family visit and you don’t know what to serve. You would like it to be something amazing but also doesn’t take too much time in the kitchen. Maybe the girls are coming over for cards or after a golf outing. Wouldn’t you like to serve something special? This recipe will serve 12 and the really large can of chopped clams called for in the recipe may be purchased at Sam’s Club or at Costco. Of course, if you are not a member, I’m sure your neighbor is and would love to have company on her next shopping trip—just ask; and maybe you can make the recipe to share.
