It’s a big day. Big game. Big Party. That means you need some big party snacks and food for the whole gang.
We’ve put together some of our favorite party recipes, all of which would be perfect for the big game this Sunday.
Wassel has never been one of our family favorites come Christmastime. Maybe it’s a regional thing or just not something our family ever adopted. You won’t find figgy pudding or goose on the table on Christmas Day either.
In our home, which now encompasses the recipes of several generations we have a generous mix of Texas country cooking and a definite Louisiana Cajun influence.

I had a girlfriend who once said, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'." We're talking about food, of course. Time is a commodity. Let's face it, we're all maxed out. Whether you're a working mother (who isn't), a single mother, a stay-at-home mom, or an empty nester, we are all busy! Our busy schedules don't have to mean take-out or drive-thrus every night, though. Long gone are the days of vacuuming in our high heels, pearls and aprons. Here are some tricks I've found that save time (and money!):
This Thanksgiving I took on the daunting task of making my mother-in-law’s cornbread dressing. This isn’t just ordinary dressing; this is my husband’s very favorite dish. This is “Mamma’s Dressing”.
