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. 

Blanco Cheese Enchiladas

So many good things to say about this dish.  If you’re looking for a good vegetarian dish,  you’ve found it.  If a  great breakfast or brunch casserole with a south of the border flare is what you’re looking for, this is it.  They also  have an attractive,  colorful presentation with the lettuce radish garnish, it’s all here.  Give…

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. …

Stromboli

This was May’s cooking class recipe.  The original recipe calls for home-made pizza dough.  There is a recipe for that elsewhere on the blog. This process adds a couple of hours to your preparation time and does not produce a significant difference in the results.  I found at our Safeway store, in the deli department,…
