Some restaurants are putting do-nuts and do-nut- holes on their dessert menu’s. We tried this one last night at our November cooking class. It not only tasted good it was a great vehicle to keep dinner conversation going as diners dipped the pastry filled morsels in the rich chocolate cream, in no hurry to conclude…

Crab and Ricotta Manicotti
This is a very special combination. Very rich, wonderful for a luncheon with a green salad and some crunchy bread. The cook will be a hero with this one.
Linguine with Clams
This is one of Jock and Angie’s favorite. We all love clams and this is a top notch way to serve them.
Butter Horn Cookies
This is a Christmas cookie standard. It’s pastry like dough melts in your mouth, it’s powdered sugar coating announcing the great tastes that are to come. It also looks great on a plate with a variety of other holiday treats. You know the holiday’s have arrived when these confections are on your dessert plate.
Cream Wafers
These are not your typical ‘cookie jar’ cookies. They are delicate pastry-like rounds with a rich filling. A lovely addition to cookie trays for a tea or reception. They would also be a hit at any cookie exchange. Print Recipe Cream Wafers Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 10 minutes Passive Time 1 hour Servings dozen…

Sandy’s Shrimp Fettuccine
This is one of the families’ very favorite recipes. We served it at Jason and Deana’s rehearsal dinner and it has found the place of honor at many tables through time. It is one of the few fettuccine recipes that can sit on a buffet table for awhile without getting sticky. My favorite way to…
Swiss Meringue Buttercream
This is, hands down the best cake frosting you will ever make. It has an ultra-silky, stable texture that spreads beautifully with a spatula or can make perfect peaks and patterns with a piping bag. It can be kept at room temperature for a day or refrigerated in an air-tight container for 3 days. It will…
Jeff’s Pork Fried Rice
This is an easy pork fried rice recipe for weeknight meals. Feel free to use chicken, beef, or seafood in place of pork, or don’t add any meat and it is an easy vegetarian meal. I use this when we have leftover pork, rice, or raw veggies. Cauliflower, snap peas, edamame, or any other raw…

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. …
