Creole Perfect Sweet Potato Pie by Amos Miller

I have made this recipe for years. There is none better - or so I've been told by some serious and knowing Creole cooks. And while some may say "Well, it sounds just like a pumpkin pie recipe", they are sorely mistaken. This, my friends, is a Creole Sweet Potato Pie. This is the way to eat your vegetables! Vegetables and…

NEVER throw stale bread away! You have the base for an absolutely delicious Creole bread pudding that will have your guests melting with pleasure.

Creole Rice Pudding by Amos Miller

Creole Pralines by Amos Miller

Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy!

Oreo Cookie Chunk Cupcakes by London Glendenning

Essentially, these consist of rough chunks of Oreo throughout, and a surprise of half of one resting at the very bottom.

Speedy Good Brownies by Jennifer Blair

We made these brownies for my son's Cub Scout den. They went crazy over them. They are so easy my 8yo made these with a little help. They were so much fun for him, he learned measurements, he didn't even know he was getting a math lesson. SHHHHHHHH don't tell him. We used mini Reece's Pieces, but you could use any chip or candy you…
