| No description available | | Yummy spicy beans and sausage - just the right side dish for rice and gravy, or dirty rice. Simply delicioso! | | Yam or sweet potato, what in the world is it? Many people use these terms interchangeably both in conversation and in cooking, but they are really two different vegetables. Want to find out the difference, attend the Opelousas Yam Festival when yams are havested in the last week of October. The Yambilee Festival was born over a cup of coffee. The idea of a Yambilee was conceived by J.W. “Bill” Low, a native Texan who adopted Opelousas as his homeland. His suggestion was heartily endorsed by his friend, Felix Dazauche, a yam shipper and processor. This idea resulted in the creation of the annual festival, which is considered by many to be the outstanding festival, designed to honor a local industry. It is held during the last full week of October. | |
| | The blend of three Cajun favorite vegetables in a smooth dressing is sure to appeal. Great as a side for any meal - bring on the rice dressing or the rice and gravy!

Kids love this recipe. | | This is a time honored tradition in our family to make these spicy cabbage rolls that are simply delicious. | | Store potatoes in a cool, dark place with ventilation and they will keep for weeks. My parents had a shed (all dark and cool) which we used to store our crop for the winter. I can still remember the smell of the soil of the potatoes that ended up in the shed and of course the one potato that would spoil and give off an aroma that made it easy to find; so we could easily discard it.
Do NOT store them in the refridgerator or they will turn brown and have develop a strange flavor. Aim for 45-50 degrees F, warmer and the potatoes will sprout and shrivel. Light causes potatoes to turn green, which imparts a bitter taste. You can store an apple with a potato to help prevent it from sprouting. How to prepare: Scrub exterior gently if they are to be cooked unpeeled. bake, boil, deep-fry, fry, puree, roast, steam, stew. Matches well with: bacon, basil, butter, caviar, cayenne, celery root, chard, cheese, chervil, chives, cream, creme fraiche, dill, fennel fenugreek, garlic, ham, horseradish, kale, leeks, lovage, mint, mushrooms, mustard, nutmeg, olive oil, olives, onions, paprika, parsley, pepper, pork, salt, savory, smoked salmon, sour cream, squash, sweet potatoes, thyme, turnips.

Editors Note - MawMaw learned many years ago that as long as you never put mayonnaise in the refrigerator to begin with, you do not need to store in the refrigerator after opening. It was a hard to change not storing in the fridge after being raised that way. But I do not store my mayo in the fridge since I was shown this as a young mother.
| | There is a wonderful cafe in South Crowley known as the "The Firehouse Cafe'. Actually they were voted as having the "Best Plate Lunch" in Crowley. MawMaw does agree cause she eats there quite a bit. This cornbread recipe was handed down from the owner's grandmother, Amedia Meaux, to her mother Lerline Meaux. This recipe is great for making cornbread dressing, eating with cracklin's, syrup or MawMaw's favorite, cornbread, milk and fig preserves. But Mawmaw is from the old school too; she loves to drop coffee in her milk for that real great coffee milk flavor! Oh and don't forget to put a teaspoon of sugar on top of that cornbread! | |
| | Great tasting, fast and easy side dish! La Pai La Patate!! You can substitute pumpkin for sweet potatoes, and makes a great dessert!!! |
