August 29, 2019

Greetings from Baton Rouge! I’m in town for the Lt. Governor’s annual tourism summit, an event I always look forward to. I get to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and gather up some interesting story ideas. I leave invigorated for the upcoming fall and holiday season.

Speaking of holidays, a few weeks ago I asked you to send in requests for recipes you’d like to see in the 2019 Holiday Food Guide. I heard from a few of you, but I’m asking again, plus if you have any family favorites for the holidays, from Thanksgiving to New Years, that you’re willing to share, I’d love to see those too. Email me, please!

It’s hot here, and the recipes I’ve selected this week reflect that. Well, except for the crabmeat au gratin, but who can resist that???

Enjoy the recipes, cook something tasty, and as always, let me know what’s on your mind.

Tip of the Week: Bacon, Perfect Every Time

	Jumbo Lump Gulf Crabmeat au Gratin This is a decadent appetizer. You make a quick cheese sauce that goes over jumbo lump crabmeat, top with more cheese, then bake until browned and bubbly. Have a thinly sliced baguette on hand for dipping. Click to forward email and recipes.
