Spring Rolls
These Spring rolls use a wrap that is made with tapioca flour. Besides the fact that it is the authentic way to serve them it qualifies them as gluten free. I’ve kept this recipe very simple. Once you get the technique down you can put just about anything in these rolls. Add a couple of…
Crawfish Etoufee
Once again having J.D. around to get the crawfish is one of the first steps. If you find another source, lucky you!!! Anyway we had great fun making and eating this crawfish stew. The boys would catch crawfish in the Cedar River and bring them up to the house to shell them and eat them. …
Filo Triangles
This is a very old recipe. It appears to be a lot of work, and it is time consuming. Its’ redeeming factors are that it is delicious, and they can be done ahead and frozen, to be baked on the day of your party. If you are looking for a drop dead appetizer that won’t be…
Manicotti
In our family this recipe is called “Myron’s Manicotti”. This was one of my Dad’s favorite recipes to cook and serve. It became a family favorite, so much so, that it was the entrée at Jock and Angie’s wedding!
Poached Eggs
This is a fool-proof method of how to poach eggs. We just did it at cooking class last night and we are all sold!! No special pans, no muss, no fuss, just spectacular success!! If you are cooking for a crowd there are two ways to hold poached eggs until ready to serve everyone. First:…
Vegetable Pizza Salad
This recipe is pretty versatile. I have served it as part of an appetizer party. It can be served on a salad buffet, or I have even served it as the entrée in a light lunch. It can be very showy so take your time arranging the vegetables. Print Recipe Vegetable Pizza Course appetizer Prep…
Luncheon Salad with Mango Chutney and Curry Dressing
This salad was a real show stopper in the early 2000’s. It was on every Country Club menu and ladies luncheon list in the country. It kind of wore itself out, I guess, but it is very good and worth a revival every once in awhile. It’s another entrée salad that just needs a crunchy…
Chipped Beef on Toast
There is a story to go with this recipe. It was one of Joe’s favorite weekend breakfasts, or Saturday lunch. He would request it often and almost as often make it himself. One weekend we had Jason’s children over and grandpa Joe fixed chipped beef on toast. ” What did you call this?”, they shouted! “This isn’t…
Chicken a la King
This is an old time family meal. A simple rue, stirred around pepper and mushrooms and chicken and poured over biscuits or toast. It’s easy, a good use of leftover chicken, or a cooked chicken from the deli, and it will warm your heart for sure. Print Recipe Chicken a la King Prep Time 30 minutes…

Cheesy Zucchini Bake
This was one of my mother’s favorite bar-b-que side dishes. It makes sense to have a zucchini dish during summer bar-b-que season sense they are so plentiful. I’m not going to write amounts because you just start filling the dish. The size of the dish depends on the size of the crowd . Pretty easy…
