Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo

Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo by Sofia Reino

So as I said in my last posting I am doing a Gumbo. I found out my dear friends from IA actually sort of follow Emeril's recipe, then I found through halfhourmeals.com a true Louisiana lady who also had an interesting recipe in her blog "First, Make a Roux".

This happened one day last week, and I happened to catch Food 911: Tastes of Russia. I felt inspired to make the beef stroganoff over buttered noodles and roasted beet &…

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning…
