This fresh corn dish is a Cajun favorite you won't see much outside of Louisiana. Every time I make this for people they love it. You can leave out the crawfish for a vegetarian side dish, or you can substitute fresh shrimp if crawfish is hard to find.

Cathead Biscuits
This is the old-time recipe from our grandmamas. There is no real measurement in this for the shortening. Wonderful and tasty heavy biscuit from the old times. Great with homemade sausage gravy. Always always always use White Lily® flour for the fluffiest biscuits. I usually don't always use all of the buttermilk. I seem to usually have just under a 1/4 cup leftover.
Run For The Roses Pie
This "Run for the Roses" pie recipe is a true Kentucky favorite, combining semisweet chocolate with walnuts for a truly decadent experience. Serve it with ice cream if desired.
Walnut Pumpkin Cookies
These walnut pumpkin cookies are frosted with maple frosting. There has never been a person who has not loved these cookies, even those who do not like pumpkin cookies. A family recipe for 35 years, it has won 1st prize at a cookie exchange and a pumpkin contest at work. I usually triple the recipe!
