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". If you are new at making a Gumbo, I would seriously check her blog as she…

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…

This was a great, homey, comfort food recipe. We love ham because there’s so many ways to use the leftovers…and there’s always leftovers.

A good hearty chili recipe that warms you up but I eat it anytime I have a craving for chili. I like to serve it with warm corn bread and a touch of my favorite hot sauce to spice it up a bit more.

Not just for fall or winter, serve it anytime for company or for casual. The gravy is luscious. Don’t be put off by the form of…

Veggie Dumplin Chowder

Veggie Dumplin Chowder by Suzi

I put this recipe on my web site for my daughter, Marie to make for her family, which was easier than telling her how to do it over the phone. The photo is hers and it looks like she added peas. I hate peas so I don't put them in. Traditionally this is as good ole Southern dish better known as Chicken and Dumplings, but being a…
