Reader-Submitted Recipe: MexiCajun Enchiladas
Wow! Readers have started submitting their own recipes using our MexiCajun seasoning, and they are FABulous! (the readers and the recipes) My dear friend Lori R. submitted a picture of her enchiladas and had all of Facebook begging for the recipe! She was kind enough to work out each ingredient and step by step ...Chicken Balls!
Okay. I know how odd and comic that sounds. An open invitation for inappropriate jokes. BUT this is such a quick, easy and fun weeknight dinner solution since there’s very little prep involved. And because they look fun to eat, it’s a great way to get kids to eat some healthy protein. . Chicken Balls Boneless chicken thighs MexiCajun Seasoning muffin ...Broccoli, Rice & Chicken Casserole
This is one of those dishes that makes me think of growing up in a small, rural Baptist church. Dinner on the grounds, small community where everyone knows everyone and their business (lol), familiar hymns, Sunday afternoon naps, and skinned knees from biking mishaps on our gravel road. Someone was always sure to bring this ...Slow Cooker Cornbread Dressing
As I promised yesterday, here is my Cornbread Dressing recipe. This is NOT my mother’s recipe. She would always make the best cornbread dressing every holiday. I remember waking up early on Christmas morning only to find my mother slaving away over a hot stove prepping all the ingredients before finally putting it in the ...Savory Broccoli & Chicken Soup
Oddly, this week has found me chaffeuring dental patients to and from tooth-extraction appointments! {eeeeek!} Spicehubby had to have a pesky problem tooth surgically removed today and tomorrow a dear friend is having TWO wisdom teeth pulled! I don’t mind being the caretaker, I’m just glad I’m not the patient! :) Because ...Dia de los Muertos
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican celebration that coincides with the Catholic holidays known as All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day that are better known here in the U.S. November 1-2 are recognized and celebrated as a time to remember and honor family and loved ones who have passed ...Walnut-Crusted Chicken Tenders
I don’t like to fry food, as in deep fry. Ever. So when Spicehubby was craving fried chicken, I started searching for alternatives. {Confession time} It is not that we never eat fried chicken (or fried fish or fried shrimp or fried….whatever). I just don’t ever cook it myself. :) Usually we eat it at ...Girls’ Game Night
A few girlfriends and I have started getting together once a month for a light-hearted, mildly competitive game night. The focus isn’t on the activity–which game, what rules or who wins–but on friendship, cocktails, food and gossip. ☺ We all thought that creating a monthly game night would give us a reason to set a ...Foodbuzz 24×24: Wine Tasting Party
I am so excited to be participating for the first time in Foodbuzz’s 24×24 project! Inspiration for this party came from my love of entertaining and of drinking wine. The setting for this late spring feast is my garden, under a brand new custom pergola.☺ It was the perfect evening for dinner outside, so we ...Chicken Pasta/Spinach Salad
I’ve been so busy with work lately that I’ve had little time for anything else. Very little time in the kitchen. No time to write. Not even much time to keep track of all my peeps and tweeps online! I was beginning to have serious withdrawals! But not to worry. I am still alive and ...The Last Gumbo of the Season
I have a secret; well, a confession, really. I’m from Louisiana, 36 years old and have never made a roux. If you are at all familiar with Louisiana cuisine, this may surprise you. But the truth is, back in the day when I could’ve learned how to make a roux (because just about every dish ...
