File Gumbo / Chez HeleneThe late Chef Austin Leslie left a brilliant legacy of Creole dishes and he helped form my approach to the cuisine of NOLA. I follow no other recipe than the one he left me. When a dish is perfect, why stray? Fresh ingredients will tell the tale. Now, as my mentor Paula Wolfert admonishes: "Relax and follow the recipe"! |

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco StyleStuffed Peppers are so easy to change up flavor wise. These are made with a Mexican taco flavor. I used cous-cous instead of rice because my son doesn't really like rice. But you can use rice, cracked wheat or quinoa whatever you like. I also use mild chilies but for a spicier dish you could use jalapenos. For the meat in this… |

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger StyleI love stuffed peppers. But my son doesn't like rice and wasn't a fan of the plain flavor of the tomato sauce. So I created these peppers knowing the flavors of BBQ bacon cheeseburger would appeal to him. I used orzo in place of rice. Needless to say he ate 2 and a half at dinner and has asked for all the leftovers to be his… |

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and ZucchiniI had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great. |

Honey Soy DrumsticksThis is a nice way to bake chicken. I use it for 12 drumsticks but you could use it for 18-20 wings, 10-12 thighs or even just chicken breasts. Original recipe says to salt and pepper the chicken before you add the sauce but I don't salt it because the soy sauce has plenty of salt. So season it how ever you like. I heat the honey… |

This recipe uses Pepperoni, but you can use sausage, steak, chicken or… |
