Meanwhile, remove the carton paper from ice cream. Set ice cream block on its long side. Use a piece of string or dental floss to cut ice cream in half lengthwise, then place the 2 pieces side-by-side on a sheet of waxed paper.

Remove cooled cake from the baking dish and place over the ice cream slabs. Trim cake and ice cream, so the edges are flush.

Crawfish Macquechou
This fresh corn dish is a Cajun favorite you won't see much outside of Louisiana. Every time I make this for people they love it. You can leave out the crawfish for a vegetarian side dish, or you can substitute fresh shrimp if crawfish is hard to find.

The Best Bean and Ham Soup
Legume fans who enjoy 7-bean soup will love this extra beany version made with a dried 15-bean mix. I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham and serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends over or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.
