Black Swan Muffcakes...."Mmmmm, So Pink, So Pretty!" by kathy gori

I'm a little late, okay about 4 or 5 days to the Muffcake party, but ever since Salty Seattle suggested them I cannot get them out of my head. Another thing I can't seem to get out of my head is the movie Black Swan. We get sent DVDs from the studios every year at this time, in order to vote for the screenplay awards. One of the films…

Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos Miller

I am surprised more folks haven't tried this. I have been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember. I have served the following dish to more than 300 diners (at a time) and got a substantial number of raves, so I want to pass it on for anyone who wants something a little more like home, more New Orleans, more than a Red…

Uncle Sidney's Red Beans by Amos Miller

There are two ways to go here: smoked meats (sausage, rib tips, neck bones, ham, country bacon), OR pickled meat. Either way, you'll obtain a rich flavor profile and a satisfying meal. One, warm, soft, and smokey; one tangy, slightly sharp, sort of barbeque-y, but it's always PORK and beans in the end.. My culinary mentor, whom I…

Black Cherry Crumble by Amos Miller

I originally saw Paula Deen make her version of this dish and I came up with a couple of really good modifications which folks have liked when I served it for dessert. I believe this is an improved recipe. I made this with gluten free (and lactose intolerant) diners in mind, but you can feel free to subtitute regular flour where…

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos Miller

I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no…

Creole Pickle Meat by Amos Miller

Folks ask if they can use smoked sausage, andouille sausage, ham, smoked butt and all kinds of other meats. The answer is, sure - its a free country. This recipe will also work with venison. But you will not truly experience Creole cooking if you do not use 'Pickle Meat', especially pickled pork, when you make Red Beans to go…

Cream Cheese Frosting by maribeth carson

My friend Annie asked if I would post this recipe to go along with my “Better Than Sex Brownies Recipe” I recently posted. When I do frost these brownies this is the frosting I use it makes the treat that much more sinful. The best thing about this frosting is that there are so many possibilities & ways you can use this confectioners…

Granny Smith's Apple Pandowdy by Amos Miller

Makes your eyes bug out & your stomach say "Howdy!" Fusion can be confusin', so let's get back to an ol' timey American dessert, not found on menus in fancy restaurants. This is just good country food, like I got when I'd have dinner at Nellie Keeling's home up Horse Mill Hollow, near Glasgow, W. Va. Pandowdy is a highly…

Best Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello Sauce by Amos Miller

This is cooking school 101. Easy - and impressive, which takes it to graduate school! Besides, I also have blueberries to use before this year's crop begins to fruit out. The end result is every bit as delicious as the photo appears.
