| This dish is so versatile as you can use either eggplant, squash or mirlitons (chayote vegetable pear squash). I am tempted to try all three together. |
| We know Maw Maw and Grandma did not have the luxury of cream soups but that does not mean a Cajun can't use them. Especially since Maw Maw and Grandma now use them too! Not yet rated |

| Maw Maw says - one of my favorite all time cakes. This is orange season in Louisiana. Pull off an orange and bake a cake. From the LSU AgCenter - Citrus Tips -
–Look for firm, heavy fruits with smooth skins free from soft spots.
–Don’t let color be your only guide. Even skins with light green color can hide ripe fruit.
–Citrus will keep several days at room temperature or for several weeks in the refrigerator in vented plastic bags or vegetable bins.
–Small fruit can be just as juicy and sweet as larger fruit.
–Navel oranges make excellent juice, but acids make the juice bitter within four hours. Drink it fresh!
–Lemon juice frozen in ice cube trays and stored in plastic bags will provide “fresh” lemon juice for many months.

| Maw Maw tried this recipe from Jack Miller's website. It seems almost every child growing up and playing baseball grew up eating Jack Miller's Ball Park Hamburgers; that same sauce is used in this recipe. Not yet rated |
| A great recipe for baking chicken! From the USDA website - fowl first domesticated in India around 2000 B.C. Most of the birds raised for meat in America today are from the Cornish (a British breed) and the White Rock (a breed developed in New England). Broiler-fryers, roasters, stewing/baking hens, capons and Rock Cornish hens are all chickens. Not yet rated |
| A common Cajun dish is smothered 7 steaks. Cooked very simply with very browned onions, garlic, bell pepper, and generally served with hot cooked rice. The seven-bone or center chuck gets its name from its bone, which is shaped like the number seven. This steak lends itself well to braising.

| This quick and easy casserole dish is great for leftover turkey or chicken. Ben Franklin, in a letter to his daughter, proposed the turkey as the official United States bird. In 2007, the average American ate 17.5 pounds of turkey. 97% or Americans surveyed by the National Turkey Federation eat turkey at Thanksgiving. Turkey consumption has increased 116% since 1970. Since 1970, turkey production in the United States has increased nearly 300 percent. In 2007, 271,685,000 turkeys were produced in the United States. In 1970, 50 per cent of all turkey consumed was during the holidays, now just 29 per cent of all turkey consumed is during the holidays as more turkey is eaten year-round.
In 2006, Turkey was the # 4 protein choice for American consumers behind chicken, beef and pork
The average weight of a turkey purchased at Thanksgiving is 15 pounds. The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds, about the size of a large dog. A 15 pound turkey usually has about 70 percent white meat and 30 percent dark meat.

| A great hit with kids. This dish uses evaporated milk; a staple in feeding babies back in the day. Karo syrup was added to evaporated milk baby formula to help in the baby's digestion. Did you know that evaporated milk is fresh homogenized milk with 60% of its water removed by evaporation. It contains 7.9% milk fat. It takes about 2.1 pounds of whole milk to make 1 pound of evaporated milk. (Evaporated Milk contains no sugar - Condensed Milk (Sweetened Condensed Milk) has added sugar).
