| Although my sister and I use to fight for the chicken wing, wings were once thought of as the most useless piece of a chicken worthy only of the stock or soup pot. Nowadays, hot chicken wings are all the rage as appetizers and party fare. Originally gaining their fame as Buffalo wings, the chicken wings became popular with virtually every ethnic group; the Cajun being no exception. Spice up dat poulet (chicken)!!! |

| Whether you pronounce it "pih KAHN" or prefer "PEE kan" , one of the most common desserts with the pecan as a central ingredient is the pecan pie. Here is the bite size version of the ever popular dessert. These can be easily served at weddings, ofice parties or large family gatherings. Great to give in your Christmas tins too. Takes a little more patience to make with all the little pie crusts, but they are definitely worth it!
Note: You will need to purchase tiny muffin tins sometimes called ``nugget pans,'' or "tart muffin tins" to make these tarts. Not yet rated |

| The humidity in Cajunland can not be compared to the Wet Tropics rainforests although sometimes the heat and humidity is so oppresive you think you were there. To cool off when it does happen try this Tropical Trifle.
Trifles are a cold dessert ... elaborately decorated or simply plain. This dessert can be made with sherry, fruit juice or liqueur-soaked sponge cake in the base of a large or individual dish, covered with layers of fruit, jelly, custard and whipped cream in various combinations. It is a very easy and great for the summer cook outs and potluck dinners. Double the recipe for reunions and family gatherings. Great for Memorial Day/Labor Day cook outs. Ma'chais! try this recipe you won't be sorry.

| Oyster, artichoke and mushroom medley in puff pastry shells. This is a wonderful appetizer for any occasion - holiday meals, Sunday supper, dinner parties.
We served this appetizer the other night along with crab-stuffed mushroom caps and smoked salmon, red onion and marjoram cream cheese canapes. A fume blanc, pinot gris or other crisp/spicy white wine is a great accompaniment for these.

| We was po' & ate anything that didn't eat us. When I had kids, Mom & Grandma would make fritters of all kinds for my children. It was a treat; They couldn't wait to go (and visit) so they could get "monsters"; that's what my kids called them. Mom & Grandma would just drop the
batter in hot oil & it would run.
