Your recipies, WS, sound delicious! I happen to like Cajun food, even though I live in Minnesota. There are some local restaurants that serve some dishes with a Cajun flavor. I recall eating blackened catfish; very tasty.

 

As for me, I also cook, if its something that I can grill - steaks, brats, burgers, hot dogs. Last weekend I grilled chicken breasts. I would provide a recipie, BUT, I just basically "winged" it. :hug: BTW, I used a dollar store spice called "Grilled Chicken Seasoning".

This is a fun thing to make as a gift for a birthday of other octions

 

:laugh: Lollipop Cookies :)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Ingredients

 

Prep Time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Cookies:

3/4 cup granulated sugar

6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

2/3 cup vegetable shortening

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3 1/2 cups flour

Lollipop Centers:

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons glucose

1/2 cup water

Few drops food coloring

 

Procedure

 

Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a sheet pan. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the sugar, butter and shortening until fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and baking powder and mix. Add the flour and mix. Shape the dough into a large flat disk, kneading briefly if necessary to bring the dough together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 to 2 hours.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick. Using cookie cutters or empty tuna cans, cut out large round cookies about 3 inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared pan. Cut a heart or circle out of the center of each cookie that will be filled later with lollipop syrup. Carefully slip the sucker sticks under the cookies and gently press dough down and around it to secure the stick. Bake until very light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the sheet pan.

 

Lollipop Centers: Combine sugar, glucose and water in a clean, dry, small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer and cook on high heat. While cooking the candy syrup, occasionally wash down the pan sides to prevent crystallization using a clean brush dipped in water. Without stirring, cook until mixture reaches 305 degrees F or hard crack on the candy thermometer. Remove the pot from the heat and dip it into an ice bath for 10 seconds to stop the cooking. Remove the pot from the ice bath and add food coloring, stirring well a wooden spoon so the color is evenly distributed. To avoid air bubbles, stir in both directions and be careful not to over mix. Pour the syrup into hole of the cookies. Cool at least 20 minutes to harden. Store in an airtight container.

some one asked for some bread making

 

 

ok here are 2 that youmayu find good sorry it toke me so long

 

Old-Fashioned Bread and Sage Dressing

(makes about 12 cups)

 

 

1/4 cup (50 g) reduced-fat margarine

5 celery ribs with leaves, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 teaspoon (5 ml) crushed dried thyme

1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2.5 to 5 ml) crushed dried sage

1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt (optional)

1/4 teaspoon (1.75 ml) freshly ground pepper

2 1-pound (480 g) loaves firm white bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/3 cup (20 g) chopped parsley

2 1/2 to 3 cups (560 to 720 ml) 98% fat-free, no-salt-added canned chicken broth

 

 

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C), Gas Mark 3.

Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet. Add celery and onion. Sauté until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, sage, salt (if using), and pepper. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side. Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point stuffing can be made 1 day ahead, placed in a self-sealing plastic bag, and refrigerated).

In a medium saucepan, heat broth to a simmer. Place dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl. Pour on hot broth and stir until bread is evenly moistened, starting with 2 1/2 cups broth and adding additional broth to reach desired consistency.

Transfer dressing mixture to a shallow baking casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned and heat through, another 15 to 20 minutes.

Whole Wheat Soda Bread

(makes 1 loaf, 22 half-slices)

 

 

1 1/2 cups (210 g) unbleached all-purpose flour

2 cups (300 g) whole wheat flour

1/4 cup (38 g) wheat germ

1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) salt

1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda

2 tablespoons (25 g) unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute

1 1/2 cups (360 ml) 1% buttermilk

 

 

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Set aside 2 tablespoon (18 g) all-purpose flour. In a large bowl, combine the remaining all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, and soda. Using your fingers, work the unsalted butter into the flour mixture, rubbing the butter/flour mixture between your thumb and fingers. Make a well in the center.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Pour into the well in the flour mixture; stir until dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Do not overmix.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons (18 g) flour. Gently knead 3 or 4 times. Shape into a 8-inch (20 cm) circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Using a sharp knife or razor blade, cut an X on the top of the loaf all the way to the sides. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 400°F (200°C). Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until loaf is well browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
