Rhubarb is cooked until tender, then chilled and layered with sweetened whipped cream to make a summertime, backyard BBQ favorite!  

Cool off on a summer day with a pina colada-inspired blend of Irish cream liqueur with rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut.  

Just two ingredients! This is foolproof and good every time!! If you've ever enjoyed a famous chicken restaurant's biscuits, you've got to try these! 

This fruity cocktail is a classic! 

Shrimp in the shells is baked while submerged in a spicy seasoned butter. It isn't exactly healthy, but it is fabulous. It is a common dish in Louisiana. This recipe feeds a lot of people. You can cut it in half for a family dinner. 

This is my take on a Louisiana classic. No shortcuts! Put everything into the slow cooker in the morning and you will have your meal ready in the late afternoon or evening, whenever you are ready. This recipe will feed a lot of people. 

Tender venison backstrap is sliced thinly before breading and frying to make a savory crispy crust.

In this recipe, steaks sit overnight in a whiskey-based marinade with onions and garlic, before being grilled to your desired doneness. 

Ready in less than ten minutes, this dressing is made of a blend of mayonnaise, ginger, soy sauce, and carrot. 

This sweet and spicy sauce is great brushed onto grilled chicken and steaks, it's also great for marinating. 

Use a shortcut--open a can of pork and beans--to make this zesty barbecued bean dish fast and easy. Seasonings for the ground beef, onions and beans mixture include mustard, brown sugar, garlic and onion powders, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce 

Traditional seasonings and ingredients from Louisiana's Cajun country make this creamy soup of fresh crab, corn, onions, celery, and garlic a hit. 

A classic roux is the thickening agent for this traditional Cajun-style gumbo made rich and hearty with chicken, sausage, onions, bell peppers, celery, garlic, and lively seasonings. 

Maque Choux (pronounced 'mack shoe'), a colorful dish of fresh corn, green bell peppers, chopped tomato, bacon, and green onions, is the traditional Cajun version of succotash. 

Prepare your own sweet and spicy dry rub for ham in minutes by blending brown sugar and spices. 

I am from Louisiana and one of the specialty dishes here is Crawfish Etouffee. This is a simple dish with bold flavor. Enjoy! 

Spinach, provolone cheese, and prosciutto and rolled into a meatloaf spiral before being roasted with red wine. This is not your mother's meatloaf! 

Venison is simmered in red wine with shiitake mushrooms and cognac in this savory and sophisticated dish I created to please my hunter. I like to serve this with spaetzle, merlot, and salad.
