Chicken Mushroom Strudel
This is a great recipe made with a rotisserie chicken, mushrooms, and puff pastry. It makes 2 strudels so you can freeze one for another occasion. Even if you are not great at braiding dough, this is surprisingly easy to accomplish.

Authentic New Orleans Red Beans and Rice
This New Orleans red beans and rice is just like what Mom makes. I recommend cooking it the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe, and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.
