Food

I'm not a chef, line cook or even a restaurant worker... I don't have that kind of talent. I'm just a home cook with some recipes I like to make.

Don't forget the cornbread to complete this bowl of jambalaya.

Jambalaya

Jambalaya is a delicious and surprisingly versatile Creole meal. Any combination of protein, rice and the cajun holy trinity of onion, bell pepper and celery. Louisiana in a bowl.

A pint jar of pickled onions ready for some brisket tacos. Yum!

Pickled Red Onions

These quick Pickled Red Onions make a great topper for your favorite taco. Easy to make and just the right amount of tangy goodness.

Susan's Cheesecake always gets a blue ribbon from my belly. Yum!

Susan’s Cheesecake

We all know Mom's recipes are the best... and this one goes out to Rachelle's mom. A simple but perfect Cheesecake recipe that won a blue ribbon!

Fresh out of the oven and piping hot... all ready to quac about it.

Cheese Enchiladas

These make great homemade Cheese Enchiladas. Make it a complete restaurant meal by making some Refried Beans and Mexican Rice as sides. Forget the restaurant.

This black iron skillet of Refried Beans will make a great side tonight and freeze some for later.

Refried Beans

Refried beans from the store are pasty and have no flavor. These from scratch Refried Beans are far above in flavor and texture then store bought. These are NOT Poo Beans!

A nice pot of Mexican Rice, cooked similar to a risotto... and just as tasty.

Mexican Rice

It might take some time and effort, but this Mexican Rice is worth the extra effort. Excellent side for Cheese Enchiladas.

This picture does not give it justice. Make no mistake about it this bowl of Pimento Cheese Spread is gone before the camera is down.

Pimento Cheese Spread

Love it or... Love it more. Pimento Cheese Spread is always welcome at our house. If you don't love a good Pimento Cheese Spread... well... you'll just have to wait outside.
