Danish Oven Pancake (Aeggekage)
An Aeggekage is a traditional Danish oven pancake, usually served as a buffet item or as a dessert for a family holiday meal. It is a light, cake-like dish that is not too sweet and absolutely delicious with fresh seasonal berries and fresh whipped cream! (Think of it as a sweetened Yorkshire pudding). Just make sure you serve immediately, this pancake does not do well cold nor is it a good leftover. But chances are you won't have any remaining Aeggekage to worry about!
Microwave Shrimp Étouffée
This is a very easy shrimp étouffée recipe that utilizes your microwave! I usually add four dashes of hot pepper sauce to the dish, but bring the hot stuff to the table in case someone wants a zestier dinner! This recipe is one I learned while going to school in southern Louisiana - Geaux Tigers!
Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast
I call this awesome red wine pot roast recipe my "famous Seamus" pot roast because my tiny Siamese cat, Seamus, sat in the kitchen the entire time this was cooking. I've been making this recipe for 40+ years, and I just throw the ingredients together; it's very forgiving. My son-in-law also says it's the best thing he ever ate. When boys hang around the kitchen, it can't be bad.
