SO I been cooking and baking...forever. But I get bored and seek new recipes all the time. Please post your current dishes, pictures and a recipe to go along with would be great.

This just came out of the oven about 30 mins ago. It's killing me to wait until Easter Dinner to try some! A sweet bread of sorts covered in ground flax seed, it's what i had on hand though the recipe calls for poppy seeds.

Anyway, I found the recipe online here.

[Sabumaru]

Damn that looks really tasty.

[KayentaMoenkopi]

It sure was. Faintly yellow on the inside and rich with egg. This recipe only called for 4 eggs in the dough, but I swear my mother always used 6...you are supposed to knead raisins in at the last before you make the braids but my daughter can't stand them.
And just a tiny bit sweet too.
mmm

Sadly I never took any photos of Easter dinner. Totally slipped my mind once we all sat to table. lol

But, hey! I know you cook. Fix me up a reply to share your work!

I think I'll keep my Louisiana recipes secrets thank you very much.

I made spinach and ricotta stuffed shells with my gf recently. They were delicious (Took a pic before we put them in the oven but not after, for some reason)

This is why conservatives suck.

@ Bocc: I am a huge fan of ricotta stuffed anything. Surprisingly enough your throw some walnuts on top of things like this and it only improves the flavor. So right up my alley. I like the addition of spinach to things as well.

[Becquerel]

Heating up is considered cooking, right?



Seriously though, I haven't had one of those in years. I actually liked MREs If you prepare them right, they can be pretty tasty. But, last thing I made was a pork belly, onion, and ground pork butt meal with rice. Didn't have a meat grinder so I just tossed the pork butt into a blender. It's the same thing, right? lol

[Bocchiere]

Hey whatever works xD

[KayentaMoenkopi]

as far as MREs go...if they come with the John Wayne bar, the tin of round crackers, or cheese spread, its all good. But dang, that chicken chow mein, my dog won't even eat that shit.

[Becquerel]

I think I'm one of the few that don't like the cheese spreads. I'm not normally a cheese guy, but that stuff just ain't right.

And they don't have tins of crackers anymore. Now they come in packages, and it's two big cracker slices. Like this.

Yes, that is a poptart. And I think that's the maple pastry from the look of it. Both were pretty good, actually. And the John Wayne bar might be what they call the First Strike bar (I could have sworn they were called America Bars, but maybe that's just my foggy memory or what we called them) now.

It was always a treat to find the apple cinnamon one.

But as for taste, if it wasn't for the saltiness, the beef brisket would take the cake. Otherwise, I liked the raviolis or chicken pesto. Those were pretty okay. The omelet was actually really tasty if you heated it up and mixed it right. There was some sort of maple meat slab that they thought was a good idea for some reason. Lots of people loved it, but I hated the damn thing. Easy for me to trade away at least.

Fine....

When you think you have enough spices.... Add more.

Everything goes good in crab boil... Literally everything. Crawfish, deer and pork roast (hell the whole leg), coon, pig feet, turkey necks, crabs, sausage, corn, mushrooms, potatoes, squash, turnips... You name it it goes good in it.

However, if you don't know how work a boiling pot your life is meaningless.

[UettoSenju]

I really feel bad for people who have never gotten the chance to try original home made Louisiana cooking. And no I don't mean some reastruant that claims to cook it or something on some menu that says new Orleans style. (I had a Cajun burger in North Carolina once... I laughed at how plain it was). I'm talking about take a back road and get some homemade oiut in the sticks down on the bayuo cooking. Something you can't find anywhere else in the world but down a dirt road with a bunch of coonasses slinging the bull and bellies full of Bush beer.  Where you don't even wanna ask what is in the pot.

New Orleans does some good food but it is the poor old boys that make a living of the wildlife in this state that are true masters of the pot, grill, and smoker.

You have not lived till you have ate homemade gar-balls (alligator gar fish), alligator/turtle suacse pecuant, corn bisk and crawfish in a bread bowl, ... The list goes on for days.

I can cook a coon that would make you pick the bones dry. I'll post some stuff later

So...if you do not have a cast iron skillet, get one!

Ingredients:
1 jar Fusia Teriyaki sauce...got mine at Aldi's
Large onion cut half then cut into finger width wedges
fist size piece of chicken boob cut into this strips
fist size piece of beef cut into thin strips
fresh broccoli cut into medium sized spears
3 large carrot cut on the diagonal
mince garlic
salt
pepper
jasmine rice...no instant will not do go back to McDonalds you Philistine!

fry the meat with salt and pepper and garlic, set aside and save the drippings to add back in later.
fry the veggies until tender..NOT MOOSHY!!!
add meat with drippings
dump jar of sauce on top
heat through
serve over rice.



feel free to explore with different veggies, meats, shrimp, and flavorings. Curry the hell out of it. always wonderful. don't skimp on the rice, spend extra for jasmine. Enriched is bird food...and yes, i know it swells in the bellies and kills them. It is just that awful.
