Side Dishes
Crawfish Green Bean Casserole aka the String Bean CasseroleJoan Simon
A new take on an old holiday classic favorite - the traditional green bean casserole. This is just the change you are looking for. Par-boiled fresh green beans may be used. Green beans and string beans are used interchangeable in the Cajun vocabulary.

T-Boy's Eggplant & Corn CasseroleT-boy
Eggplant is a big favorite in many areas of the South. I first saw this recipe in a cookbook by Chef Paul Prudhomme and added a little more lagniappe to this great recipe. Feel free to add any meat or cheese to your liking.
Glazed Sweet PotatoesAlberta Bert LeBlanc

Couvillion's Eggplant Rice DressingRaoul Couvillon - A Kaplanite living in Houston, TX!
Excellent as side dish with any meat or as a main dish served with vegetables. This recipe was adapted from a Louisiana Cajun recipe which traditionally uses pork. Fun facts from deliciousorganics.com. Choose firm, plump, smooth, smaller eggplant that are light for their size, though some people prefer the heavier ones. The heavier, the more seeds; the more seeds, the more bitter. Male eggplant have fewer seeds. Look for a round shallow indentation on the bottom for a male (females have deep dash shaped indentations). The younger and male eggplants have less seeds. How to store: Quite perishable, plan to use them when you buy them. Store in a the crisper drawer in a paper bag to draw away moisture or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Fun Fact: Women in the Orient used to use the peel of the eggplant as dye to stain their teeth gray because that was the rage. Now everyone uses a tooth whitening agent. The eggplant is part of the "nightshade" family which includes tomatoes, potatoes and sweet peppers. The eggplant actually becomes bitter as it ages so use it promptly. The older the eggplant, the tougher the skin. This recipe was adapted from a Louisiana Cajun recipe which traditionally uses pork.
Dirty Rice Gary Koinm
The author of this recipes writes: Cooking is a labor of love, and certainly the time to create our nation's most celebrated regional cuisine takes time and effort. The recipe below will make you the most incredible dirty rice imaginable. Yes, it's time consuming but Voilà ! Qu'un differnece. The author adds that this dish will feed a "small army".
Creole Mustard Potato SaladDaniel Cheramie
Speaking of Potatoes - Remember Mr. Potato Head? Mr Potato Head was patented in 1952 George Lerner of New York City invented and patented Mr. Potato Head in 1952. Based on an earlier toy called “make a face” that used a real potato, Lerner designed his all-plastic toy as a prize for cereal premiums. Lerner sold Mr. Potato Head to the Hassenfeld Brothers of Rhode Island, who owned Hasbro Inc., the toy company. Hasbro sold the first Mr. Potato Head with a styrofoam head as a base for the facial plug-ins. However, instructions were included that suggested the use of vegetables and fruits instead of the styrofoam. Mr. Potato Head was the first toy to be advertised on television. In 1985, he received four write-in votes in the mayoral election in Boise, Idaho. Today, Hasbro, Inc. still manufactures Mr. Potato Head. In 1966, Mr Potato Head acquired a new addition with Jumping Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. (Fun Facts from about.com)

Perfect RiceLaura Brown
Want to cook the prefect rice? Our author writes - "The perfect way to cook rice.I was raised up with gummed up rice until I came across this perfect solution!" Funfact on rice from http://www.irri.org/graindell * Almost half of the world's population eats rice -- about 3 billion people. After a farmer plants rice, it takes about 105 days before he can harvest it! Imagine if you and your family actually had to wait that long before you could eat rice? It takes 5,000 liters of water to produce just 1 kilo or rice -- enough to fill up half of a small swimming pool! Rice farming is older than the great, great grandmother of your great, great grandfather. It is about 10,000 years old! Do you like sushi and norimaki? These are only two of the many rice-based Japanese dishes. Did you know that Toyota also means 'bountiful rice field', while Honda also translates to 'the main rice field'? Rice is part of many religious rituals and customs, especially in Asia.
