Louisiana

Shaped a little like a pirate’s boot, the Bayou State is pressed between Texas and Mississippi along the Gulf of Mexico. More storied than perhaps any other culinary region of the United States, Louisiana is where ancient culinary traditions collided, creating a uniquely American regional cuisine. Creoles and French-Canadian Cajuns adapted their Spanish- and French-inspired food traditions to make use of local ingredients like powdered sassafras leaves (known as filé powder). In a region already known for its cooking, New Orleans stands out as the undisputed food capital of the South, if not the country. New Orleans is the home of such delights as dirty rice, blackened redfish, gumbo, muffuletta sandwiches, bananas foster, king cake, soft-shell crab po'boy sandwiches, and the Crescent City breakfast of beignets and chicory-flavored coffee with steamed milk (cafe au lait).

Oatmeal Crispies II

Reviewed on Aug. 29, 2008 by highvoltagegrrl
I adored these cookies. They weren't overly sweet and were just the right amount of crumbly. I actually had everything to make these already - which made me even happier. Thanks for posting!!!

Blueberry Pie

Reviewed on Aug. 29, 2008 by highvoltagegrrl
This pie was pretty good. I'd like it to be a little sweeter, but other than that, the texture and timing were all spot on.

House Fried Rice

Reviewed on Aug. 29, 2008 by Kelly
I am so glad I found this recipe. My family loves fried rice, but I didn't know how to make it. This recipe was so easy. I usually have cooked rice left over, so this worked out wonderfully. Now we don't have to get take out any more.
