Baked Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Gumbo doesn't have to be hard! Instead of slowly cooking and stirring a roux for what seems like forever, try this chicken and sausage gumbo that's baked instead. It's not a shortcut per se, but cooking it in the oven will save you from having to stand over the stove for hours. Serve hot with a spoonful of white rice.

This peanut butter blossoms recipe was my mother's, but I made adjustments over time to find the right peanut butter cookie base which is solid enough not to break but soft when you bite into them. These have been a family holiday favorite for many years, hope yours enjoys them too!
