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.
Celery Stuffing
A great recipe for stuffing a turkey. It is very moist! A pinch of marjoram can be added to this dish in addition to or in place of thyme. Try putting the stuffing under the skin of the breast. It makes the turkey very moist!
Mushroom and Leek Soup
A rich, easy soup, using just a few ingredients. If you can't find leeks, just use green onions.
