| One of my favorite memories growing up in my mother's kitchen was smelling this pie bake! It was an easy and quick dish to make and is better the next day after all the seasonings set in. If you have bisquit mix and tuna fish on hand you can whip up this pie easy and ready to eat in about an hour. You can use the cheese of your choice and tuna with our without oil. Its great for church potluck or to take to new mothers. Not yet rated |
| fettuccini d'écrevisse - One of our more popular classics. Shrimp could be used instead of the crawfish or combined with crawfish along with crab meat. |
| Crawfish or Crayfish are well known here in South Louisiana and their popularity have grown throughout the world. They are a Cajun favorite for dishes such as this one. |

| The French Quarter is the oldest and most famous section of the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, stretching along the Mississippi River from about Iberville Street to Esplanade Avenue and back from Decatur Stret to Rampart Street.
It is also known as the Vieux Carre ("Old Quarter" in French) and the Barrio Latino ("Latin Section" in Spanish). To many it is simply called "The Quarter". A favorite "drive to" for many Cajuns.

| Ribs contain a substantial amount of connective tissue. Therefore many cooks boil the ribs to get them tender. The length of time needed to tenderize will vary. Editor note: When I cook my ribs I think the secret to great ribs is to cook them at low temps for long periods of time. You could use this recipe and bake for 2 to 3 hours. Not yet rated |
| Fun facts from www.thefresh1.com - In 16th century Spain, the eggplant was believed to be an aphrodisiac. Europeans believed eggplants caused insanity, and called it the Mad Apple. Eggplants are best known for their purple color, but they are available in a wide variety of lavender shades-even striped! |

bar-b-que, brisket or grilled meat. Also a great stuffing for bellpeppers. |
