Gumbo recipe

Please be aware - this is NOT an Emeril recipe. This is authenic Cajun HOME cooking, as my mother cooked gumbo, her mother before her, and my grandmother's mother before all of us. True Cajun is not what one would get in a restaurant such as Emeril's and tends to be a more simple way of cooking and eating. Poor Emeril's is only a restaurant! This recipe is what you would have at my mother's for Sunday lunch and would not be what a restaurant would serve. And to really spice it up and really be authenic, if eating gumbo at home, I would add hot pepper vinegar as a garnish. This is a concoction of regular vinegar that has had hot peppers (such as jalapeno) steeping in it for a while. The longer this sits before you use it, of course the spicier the final concoction will be, but just a couple of drops adds the final touch to a real filet gumbo! I certainly hope you enjoy this as much as generations of Cajuns in my family have. Oh, and by the way, just in case you're from up north, let's say north of I-10, filet is dried crushed sasafras leaves that thickens gumbo after it is cooked. The heat should be off before adding the filet, then Wait just a few minutes before dipping the finished gumbo over bowls of rice to allow the filet to thicken just a bit. Then, try to stop at just one bowl!

Gumbo recipe
I am a purebred Cajun person, and I just happened to have made a chicken/sausage gumbo today, and you're right - it is YUMMY! Easier to make than pie too! Chop a large onion into small pieces. Brown in oil until very dark, stirring so it does not burn. Add sliced smoked sausage of choice (spicy is best) and cut up chicken (I used boneless/skinless thighs) and enough water or chicken broth to cover all. Add a handful of chopped parsley and green onion tops, salt and pepper or seasoning - Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning is an excellent choice, then sit back and let it cook for as long as you can stand it. After you deem it cooked, turn off the heat, and if you have filet available, put a good amount in your gumbo. Cook a pot of rice to go with it. Potato salad is a traditional side dish along with chunks of French bread with butter. Not exactly diet food, but worth all of the salads you will feel obliged to eat later!
Any Cajun out there with a good gumbo recipe?
Great recipe, but please post on the Holiday/Recipe board.

Go to the Food Network website and in the search box, type "cheese straws". You'll have a choice of many different recipes, but I think the one your mom is looking for using a cookie press is the recipe for "Zesty Cheese Straws" by Paula Deen.
Thanks for the recipe
I am going to try it, it sounds wonderful.

NORMAN POTATO SALAD WITH APPLES
The sweet crispiness of the apples and the tang of vinegar give this potato salad a special lift. It's named after Normandy, famous for its apples and for its apple brandy, Calvados.
2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold 3 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 Granny Smith apples 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup apple juice 1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream 1/2cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves 1 teaspoon Calvados (French apple brandy; optional) freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a 3-quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches and simmer until potatoes are tender but resist when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. While potatoes are still warm, layer one third in a large serving dish or bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Continue layering in same manner with remaining potatoes and vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper. Peel, quarter, and core apples. Cut quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces and in a bowl toss with lemon juice. In a small saucepan simmer apple juice until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. In a bowl beat cream until it just holds soft peaks and gently but thoroughly fold in reduced apple juice, mayonnaise, parsley, Calvados, and pepper. Season sauce with salt and gently toss together with potatoes and apples.
Serves 6 as a side dish.

I don't follow an exact recipe, but this is what I do. I chop up in a food processer some onion, (half and seeded) jalapeno, tomatoes and cilantro and then add my avacados. I also mix in garlic, chipolte seasoning, salt, pepper and cumin. Everybody loves it.

No recipe here but
I have cut out potatoes, rice, breads, ice cream, etc. for almost 2 weeks and have lost 4 pounds. I did South Beach a couple years ago but it takes too much preparation and planning, although I did lose 20 pounds without excercising. You may want to try the South Beach Diet Cookbook.
I hated to exercise but now I've joined the Y - and really liking it. I try to go everyday to a beginning exercise class and/or Pilates. If I don't make the class, I try to do 30 minutes on the treadmill.
I have put off doing this for many, many years and can't believe how much better I feel. It's alot easier to put on weight then take off, but I refuse to get discouraged. I have lost alot of strength around my waist and lower back (pouchy tummy), but Pilates is helping that. I work at my own pace which the instructor encourages us all to do.
Here's the recipe!
Chicken Broccoli Braid
12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about 3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves) 1 C. broccoli, chopped 1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped 1 clove garlic, pressed 4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup) 1/2 C. mayonnaise 2 tsp. All-purpose Dill Mix (or 1 teaspoon dillweed) 1/4 tsp. salt 2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls 1 egg white, lightly beaten 2 T. slivered almonds
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Chop chicken and broccoli and place in bowl. Add chopped red bell pepper. Press garlic over mixture and shred cheese over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill mix and salt. Mix well.
Unroll package of crescent rolls. Do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12 x 15-inch pan and repeat with remaining package of dough. Roll out dough to seal perforations. On long side of pan, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep leaving approximately 6 inches in the center of dough for filling. Spread filling evenly over middle of dough.
To braid: lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form braid. Tuck ends under to seal at ends. Brush egg white over dough and sprinkle with almonds. Baked 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Eggplant recipe
I love this one. Wash and cut the eggplant into about one inch pieces (leave skin on). Wet it and put it in a colander and put salt all over it. Let it sit for about an hour in the colander in your sink. Rinse the salt off really well, pat the eggplant dry with paper towels, and brown it in olive oil and garlic. Add it to your favorite sauce and add 1 cup of dry red wine to the sauce. Simmer until the wine is reduced down and the sauce thickens back up. If you don't want wine in the sauce it works well without it too but you should simmer it for about an hour. Serve over pasta and use fresh grated parmesean or romano cheese if you like. It's good stuff! The part about the salt is that it keeps the eggplant firm and flavorful and moist during cooking. Enjoy!

The recipe says 2 toss of garlic. Is it suppose to be 20 toes of garlic since you call this 20-garlic chicken? Thanks for your help.

That is just plain awful. Looks like someone copied a cookbook. Monitor/administrator should be informed of this.
Need recipe ASAP!! (sm)
Ok, someone please help me find a recipe for this stuff .. my mother wants it bad and is driving me nuts over it. Cannot believe a web search has not helped..I may not have the correct name it's called. She is wanting to make some of those "cheese rings" this weekend. They look like a cookie, but not sweet. Usually made with a cookie press I believe. Just a strong cheddar cheese taste..made like the regular spritz cookies I think. My great grandmother was the only one we ever knew that made them back in Carolina..can't seem to find anyone here in the central US that knows what it is LOL Thanks!

Eggplant recipe
This is the famous labor-inducing eggplant recipe that I tried a few months ago. (It didn't work.) It is EXCELLENT. It makes enough servings to feed an army and freezes very well.
Ingredients
Directions
1. After you wash the eggplant, slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. You may choose to peel the eggplant before you slice it. However, you may want to leave the skin on since it contains a lot of vitamins.
2. Place the eggplant slices on a layer of paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt, then cover with another layer of paper towels and hold it down with something heavy to drain the excess moisture. Let them sit for about an hour.
3. Working with one slice of eggplant at a time, dust with flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat well with breadcrumbs.
4. Saute in preheated olive oil on both sides until golden brown.
5. In baking dish, alternate layers of marinara sauce, eggplant slices, ricotta, parmesan and Romano cheeses, until you fill the baking dish, about 1/8 inch from the top. Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake for 25 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Scalini's Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
Directions
1. Lightly saute the onions in olive oil in large pot for a few minutes.
2. Add garlic and saute another minute.
3. Add tomatoes and bring sauce to a boil, then turn heat low.
4. Add remaining ingredients, stir, cover and let simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Need help with a recipe for tonight
At a friend's church function a couple months ago, someone had made a chicken casserole that had very simple ingredients, but was very good. I could probably throw together what I think was in there but would really prefer to find a recipe for it if possible. It had a cream-based sauce surely from canned cream of ?? soups...cubes of chicken....spaghetti noodles...and a melted shredded cheese and maybe either fine bread crumbs or parmesan topping. Anyone have anything out there close to this? Thanks!
Wish we had a recipe board. nm

When they had a recipe board and several other

Just one favorite crockpot recipe?
I love my crockpot. I especially like working at home while the crockpot cooks all day long because it smells so good. I like to make stew, chili, spaghetti sauce, roast beef with vegetables, French dip sandwich meat, and tons of other stuff. Since it'll be raining tomorrow, we're having polska kielbasa with new potatoes and cabbage. It sounds and smells a little off, but it's so good!
Please post on Recipe Board
We love new ideas, what's for dinner, favorites of families, etc!! Hope to see you there!
Would you mind sharing your recipe?
I would love to have a good recipe to make this at home. Please share? Thank you so much!
See Holiday/Recipe board.

Anybody have a good chili recipe
out there that is fast and easy?
my favorite chili recipe
Go to the grocery store
Buy a can of Wolf Brand chili
Go home, open the can
Put contents in a pan
Warm it on the stove
put warmed chili in bowl and gobble away LOL
Check your recipe. If you can cut back
the butter/oil a bit, you might find the that the cookies hold their shape better. This has worked for me in the past. The suggestion to chill the dough is a good one. You can even leave it in the fridge overnight. Work in small batches so that the batter stays cold. Finally, don't add any oil/spray to the cookie sheet.
Crock pot recipe with milk
Months ago there was a recipe for something and onions and milk -- It wasn't chicken but that's what I substituted and it was awesome. I can't find the recipe. If the original poster will reproduce it, I won't lose it again -- promise!!!
