Not Ya Mama's Oyster Dressing
Thirty-five years ago, a group of friends went to a little Italian restaurant south of New Orleans. We all fell in love with their oyster dressing. We ate it so often the guys made a bet to see who could duplicate the recipe. After many tries, one of our friends figured it out and won the bet. Last year I found the original restaurant recipe in a New Orleans cookbook; our friend hit the nail on the head. This is his version.

American Shepherd's Pie
This shepherd's pie with cheese is an Americanized version of the old Irish standard. My family loves it. You can prepare your mashed potatoes as you usually would — adding butter, milk, sour cream, or whatever!
