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…

This recipe is the best sugar cookie recipe ever! There is no mess with a pastry board full of flour! I use parchment paper to roll out the dough. And I get my sprinkles from www.MillCreekCountryStore.com. They have a variety of colors for every holiday.

MILK CHOCOLATE FLORENTINE LACE COOKIES by London Glendenning

These ended up tasting like the kind sold at Trader Joe's or World Market- excluding the carmel drizzle that the store bought versions have. That said, they turned out to be really tasty, and I'm not sure I would even add caramel if I made them again. The process was pretty simple though VERY messy (I feel like anything requiring…

Roasted spicy chicken wings with goat cheese dip by Micheline

These wings taste better than at the restaurant and are healthier. People are always surprised to find out that my chicken wings can be so delicious when roasted instead of fried. I serve them with a goat cheese dip (less fat) instead of the traditional blue cheese dip with celery and carrot sticks.

Grilled Catfish with Red Rice and Lemon Butter by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a truly delicious meal. Our kids loved it as much as we did. We made a version of the fish with Lemon pepper because we thought the Creole seasonings would be too hot, but they ended up loving the Creole fish. If you're trying to conserve calories, you can leave off the Lemon Butter and just serve with fresh lemon wedges.…

Easy Sausage Pierogi Bake by Patti Fisher

Ken wanted macaroni and cheese made meaty with sausage. Patti had an “aha” moment because frozen pierogies are something we always have on hand, plus Ken just cold smoked lots of our favorite kinds of cheese. To make it extra easy we used jars of Alfredo sauce and to make it extra tasty we used Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake Seasoning.…
