Steen's, a Louisiana product. Check out their website.

I use to make cornbread stuffing, but found a local food provider that makes wonderful cornbread dressing. That's been purchased. Pecans went on sale, so they are ready to rock and roll into a pi...

We are staying home and it will just be four of us. Hubby will smoke a turkey breast on the grill. I will have cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoes. I will do a veggie of some kind, simple and ...

Using a water bath, I have never had a cheesecake crack. Now in my family, they could give a flip on the fact it's cracked or not, as long as it's my Mom's recipe. You could try one now without t...

Warm brown rice, green onions, sliced cherry tomato tossed with a oil and vinegar dressing. You can add parsley and other things to brighten things up.

My special project will be organizing the cookbook shelf. Since I belong to bookmooch, may pull some and put them on the list so others can mooch and enjoy. Both fridge and freezer ar...

Two ladle owner, and both ladle out 1/2 cup of liquid. So I know my portion control issues are out there and with soup, I still have to be careful. Now, with rice, it's a 1/2 cup measuring cup. ...

Hubby indulges in candy corn, and about two weeks later, I toss what's left out.

A cool dry weekend calls for grilling, so it's beer can chicken with rice dressing and greens. Since Soupy Sales passed, I plan to prepare a cream pie. We will be clearing the garden and if it wa...

Make batches and freeze. Leftover meatballs with sauce on french bread or hoagie rolls, with shaved parma and a side salad for a great supper. Meatballs, baked and added to a gently simmering sou...

We cleaned out the fridge, after being out of town for two weeks. We had a moth problem in the pantry and took care of it several weeks ago, so it's on to the spice rack to prep for the holiday ba...

I second the Silver Palate recipe, but add black nicose olives and get some cheese on the sauce. In winter, good canned tomatoes make up in the recipe nicely.

Salad, add warm brown rice to chopped fresh tomato, green onion, and a fresh whisked oil and vinegar dressing with a whisper of black pepper and salt. The flavors all blend together to make a grea...

Oatmeal for breakfast, several times a week has cleared up my digestive problems and lowered my blood sugar. It's been a easy, almost joyful way to address some of my health issues. I stay "full"...

My daughter and I bake batches of these for Christmas giving. There are people who contact me (and her) sometimes Thanksgiving week to see how we are doing and are we baking for the holidays (hi...

This is more of a "creole" dish than a jambalaya. Not a bad recipe, but this isn't classic Louisiana jambalaya.

Burgers for game time. While the grill is hot, will roast eggplant for baba gannosh (sic) and peppers for pepper/potato tacos. Sunday will be chicken tortilla soup, which I hope will bring cooler...

I know it's a cliche, but chunks of chicken on a caesar salad, yum. Shredded chicken in tacos is another favorite and then you take the bones and make stock. A good friend always did bbq chicken ...

Planned overs, not left overs. Beef roast on Sunday, roast beef poorboys on Monday or BBQ beef on a bun. Roasting a chicken, consider doing a second one, pulling meat off the bone and using in BBQ...

I purchased for my daughter her own copy of Silver Palate and it's the one I recommend constantly. The lamb recipes work and do the apps. Will pull it out and make something this weekend in tribu...
