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…
Italian American Shrimp
This recipe combines a large variety of delicious vegetables with shrimp. It’s almost like a jambalaya without the chicken and sausages, so take a cooks tour of the produce section and go to work!

Eggplant Parmigiana
This is one of my very favorite Italian recipes. Eggplant is so hearty it is almost steak-like. The melding of the flavors of the marinara, cheeses and eggplant are outstanding. One recipe mentioned layering slices of zucchini in with the eggplant ! The dish is a perfect addition to a buffet table, excellent lunch entre, and…
Summer Vegetable Tian
This is an elegant way to use up those bountiful summer vegetables. Using a mandoline to slice the vegetables is your best bet. The thinner the slices are the more evenly they will cook. Some of you might have a food processer with a thin blade, that would work too. You certainly can do it…

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!
White Chili with Chicken
This chili variation is good, easy, and will warm you up on a chille day!!! (Get It?) It calls for 3 chicken breast halves, but to speed things up you can get a rotisserie chicken at the store and cut up the breasts for the chili and send the other pieces in lunches the next…
