Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
You can vary this chocolate cake mix cookie recipe. This one uses chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips, but you can use peanut butter chips or raspberry chips and nuts instead. You can also add 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Or you can use another flavor of cake mix and omit the chocolate chips. The cake mix, butter, and egg amounts are the same for all.
Oysters Bienville
Oysters Bienville are baked oysters, smothered in a delicious sauce of bacon, shrimp, and mushrooms, topped with bread crumbs and fresh herbs. If you can't quite do raw oysters, try this dish—I love to serve it as an appetizer. Plan on about 2 oysters per person. To save time, you may buy shucked oysters. Place 2 oysters each in a small buttered ramekin and omit the rock salt.
Avocado Irish Cream Fudge
Although avocados seem like a strange ingredient for fudge, they give a great creamy texture to a decadent treat. I often give it as a gift for the holidays and no one can ever believe it's made with avocados!
