Ants on a Log
Ants on a log is a fun snack that kids can make. The recipe consists of artfully arranged celery, peanut butter, and raisins.
Peanut Butter Bars IV
This recipe forms a rather stiff dough, you might have to press it in the pan. One time I put raisins in the batter by mistake, and my husband loved them that way. You can also omit the chocolate chips and have them plain if you wish.
Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp Étouffée
An authentic Louisiana recipe with a rich and spicy fresh tomato-based roux with fresh garlic, bell peppers, celery and onions mixed with crawfish and shrimp. A little time consuming but well worth it! Serve over steamed rice with hushpuppies and/or crackers on the side.
