We met Nate and Annie at a Featured Food Publisher dinner at Gochi that Foodbuzz hosted. House of Annie is a great resource for recipes and culinary adventures. Be sure to check them out!

We spent our weekend in Monterey and you know what that means. I get cravings for clam chowder whenever I’m over there.  Lando decided to make a quick stop down by Fisherman’s Warf for a quick bite to eat. We stopped by Old Fisherman’s Grotto for their award winning clam chowder. 

The chowder that they had here was packed with clams. It was very creamy too. Out of all of the spots I’ve had clam chowder, this had to be the best. You can try it for yourself. Want to look like a tourist? Order it in a breadbowl like we did! I always order clam chowder in breadbowls and I don’t mind looking like one. Hey, I’m visiting the area anyways right? Most of the restaurants in Fisherman’s Warf will give out samples of their clam chowder. Trust me, you will eventually walk back to Old Fisherman’s Grotto for their chowder.

It’s a spot for dates because…
There’s plenty of other spots to see when you’re down by Monterey’s Fisherman’s Warf. From small shops to getting on a boat for whale watching, feel free to walk around and check everything out.

Ingredients
6-8 Strawberries
4-6 Blackberries
1 Banana
1 Single Serving Cup of Strawberry Flavored Yogurt
Low Fat Milk
Sugar
Ice

Steps
Get your blender out and wash up the strawberries and blackberries. You will want to remove the stems off the strawberries. Next, slice the strawberries into halves. Cut your banana into smaller pieces as well. This will make things blend easier. Once you have that done it’s time to put everything into the blender.

You will want to add the strawberries, banana, and blackberries first. Next, pour in the strawberry yogurt. Pour about 1 cup of low fat milk. You will also add in 3-6 tablespoons of sugar. This is to add a little bit more sweetness into the smoothie. Finally, pour in the ice. We filled a tall glass up with ice cubes to use in this recipe. That will give you an idea of how much ice you may want to add. Hit that blend button after all the ingredients are in there.

Once it’s blended give it a taste. If it isn’t sweet enough, just add a little bit more sugar and re-blend. To serve, just pour out the smoothie into a tall glass and garnish with slices of strawberries. This one will keep you cool.

Ingredients
1 Dozen Medium Sized Eggs
1 Can of Condensed Milk
1 ½ Cup Heavy Cream
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Steps
Let’s start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, you want to seperate the egg whites from 9 egg yolks. Take your time to separate the yolk. It can get a little tricky. Place the 9 yolks into a large mixing bowl. You can discard the egg whites. Then, you take 3 whole eggs and add them to the bowl. Finally, add the can of condensed milk and cream into the eggs. Mix everything together.

Get your crust ready because you are going to pour the egg mixture into the pie crust. If you have any leftovers, you can add it into an oven safe baking dish and bake it too.

Let the Egg Custard Pie bake for 30-40 minutes. You can check if the pie is ready by taking a toothpick and poking the pie itself. Check to see if the pie is semi firm, like a thick omelet. If it’s ready, take it out of the oven and let it set for another 10 minutes. Once it’s cool, get ready to slice, serve, and enjoy.
