gulf shrimp and grits

Gulf Shrimp and Grits

From Chef Justin Devillier, this is one of those recipes that's delicious for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and various snack times in between. Bonus- the grits recipe is good all by itself and one you'll add to your repertoire once you make it.

Catfish Parmesan

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts are slowly poached to juicy perfection and removed from the pot; the poaching liquid is then brought to a boil and hand cut dumplings quickly cooked in the broth. The chicken is added back it, and that's it! Sprinkle with a little chopped green onion or parsley.

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

If you don't have access to light, airy French bread, you may need to adjust the amount of bread you use -- enough to soak up the sauce and still be soggy. French bread will take a lot less liquid than a denser bread will because it's mostly air.
