Soft Oatmeal Cookies
These oatmeal cookies are perfectly flavored and lightly spiced with just a touch of cinnamon. They're soft, chewy, and easily customizable — just add 1 cup raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips when you mix in the oats. Keep them on hand for after-school snacking or make a batch for a holiday cookie exchange.

Oysters Bienville
Oysters Bienville are baked oysters, smothered in a delicious sauce of bacon, shrimp, and mushrooms, topped with bread crumbs and fresh herbs. If you can't quite do raw oysters, try this dish—I love to serve it as an appetizer. Plan on about 2 oysters per person. To save time, you may buy shucked oysters. Place 2 oysters each in a small buttered ramekin and omit the rock salt.
