Karen Lynch gets the credit for this great salad. Her recipe has travelled around the USA because it’s so delicious. I first had it when my friend Jeani Zam made it for us; yesterday my friend Betty made it for a pot luck meal. With or without chicken, it always is a hit at parties [...] Another great dish that’s a staple in New Orleans is shrimp rémoulade. Every restaurant has its own take on this spicy sauce. Some add anchovies, capers, olives, chopped dill pickle – you can add whatever you want. This is one of my favorites, from Commander’s Palace. It’s traditionally served as a dressing over jumbo shrimp, [...] When I lived in New Orleans, my favorite restaurant lunch was an avocado stuffed with shrimp salad.

There are many variations on this salad; this is how I like it. 1 [...] This is one of Ina Garten’s recipes, except that I added garlic to it. It’s superb. 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes

If you want to grow white cauliflower, when the heads begin to grow, pull the surrounding leaves up and tie them up or pinch with a clothes pin to keep the head shaded. Personally, I like the purple. Connie found [...] I’ve been waiting to get this recipe from Connie ever since she told me about the incredible salad her mom (Jane) used to make. Then, to make matters worse, she sent me two bottles of pineapple vinegar, an ingredient that makes this salad zing. Her mother Jane just moved, so of course finding a recipe [...]
When I was a child, we used to vacation in northern Michigan at Dick and Marcia Bentz’s cabin near Gaylord. Dick was a hunting buddy of my dad’s, and Marcia and Mom were very dear friends. Marcia was a great cook and grew her own vegetables. One day she brought out this 9 [...] |
