Smothered Cabbage

Smothered Cabbage by Genet

Smothered cabbage is a common New Orleans side dish. Cabbage, especially when pan-fried by my mom or cooked down with pickle meat by my great-grandmother, ranked high on my list of favorite veggies. It’s not fancy or pretty, but it is tasty and relatively good for you. While my recipe is somewhat of a culture clash–Irish veggie…

Barbecue Shrimp

Barbecue Shrimp by Genet

Don't get thrown off by the name of this one. These shrimp aren't cooked on the grill or smothered in tangy barbecue sauce. This is a New Orleans classic brought to life in the kitchen of Pascal's Manale restaraunt way back in the 1950's. The shrimp are marinated in a typical Cajun/Creole spice blend and cooked in the oven…

Crawfish Etouffee by Genet

In New Orleans, frozen crawfish tails are a heavily relied upon convenience food.

Crawfish Etouffee

Crawfish Etouffee by Genet

Being from New Orleans, my husband and I love Crawfish Etouffee. It's one of those "classics" that everyone down here has learned how to cook by watching mom or grandma. That's me. I was hanging out in my grandmother's kitchen for as long as I can remember. Crawfish Etouffee is a great opportunity for anyone to use frozen…

Broiled Steelhead Trout with Horseradish Sauce

Broiled Steelhead Trout with Horseradish Sauce by Genet

This salmon "look alike" is a medium to high fat content fish so it can stand up to some pretty bold preparations. The horseradish and lemon juice work great in cutting through the fattiness that tends to linger on your tongue with oily fish. Get rid of that fishy aftertaste and you’ve got yourself a winner! Since steelhead trout…

Moo Shu Chicken (Version 1)

Moo Shu Chicken (Version 1) by Genet

Several years ago, I created a very basic moo shu recipe using chicken instead of pork and a few items from the grocery store. All of my gal-pal friends like it because they were new moms searching for fast and flavorful meal options. If you want to add a little excitement to the meal then try versions 2 or 3 of the recipe.

Loaded Baked Potato Salad by Genet

Loaded baked potatoes go great with any type of grilled meat or seafood. But pairing the two on a plate can be a challenge, especially when you’re having to split your time between the kitchen and the deck or if you’re grilling away from home. A delicious alternative is to make this Loaded Baked Potato Salad. It has all the glorious…
