    Creole Okra and Sausage Jambalaya Gumbo

    It was the principals’ jobs to feed the staff this week at Parent/Teacher Conferences.    My goodness, but they are a hungry bunch.    We went through two pans of lasagna, a double-batch of Veronica’s Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole, a BIG salad, two loaves of French Bread, angel food cake, and brownies.   (And, really…we have…

  • Chilled Jalapeno Poppers

    Chilled Jalapeno Poppers

    This post is not so much of a recipe as it is a suggestion. With all the huge jalapenos coming on, it was time to make some appetizers for Sunday afternoon.  After canning all the pepper jelly, I was pretty much spent, but I needed to use more peppers. I went with an old stand by…
