Fou Maque Choux [RECIPE]

Having traveled about the United States as much as we have, we tend to pick up culinary traditions all around the country. Maque Choux is a traditional side dish served throughout Louisiana. We first learned about it when we took a class at the New Orleans School of Cooking a few years back, although that recipe called for tomatoes. I’ve cut them out here, however, which is why I’m calling this version Fou Maque Choux (fou is Cajun for “crazy”). In its place I’ve  added a touch of Tex-Mex flavor by adding the black beans and Mexican oregano. The ingredients blend together beautifully and make for one yummy new riff on a Cajun classic. Enjoy!

Our life stays so busy, we’re always looking for recipes that allow us to get dinner on the table in a hurry. This one definitely qualifies, and it as yummy as it is easy to prepare. Best of all, your family will ask for more! Just one note of caution: remember that all jalapenos are not created equal. Some are definitely hotter than others! So sample a slice before chowing down on them with abandon. They may be much spicier than they appear! Continue reading “Topsy-Turvy Nacho Pie [RECIPE]”

Pork tenderloin is the leanest part of the pig, and therefore one of my favorite cuts to serve my family since we’re watching our fat intake. On its own, however, the meat doesn’t have a lot of flavor, so the seasonings used in this recipe really give it the burst of flavor it needs. The best part about this dish is that it tastes like you worked on it for hours, yet it’s one of the simplest stove-to-table suppers around. Enjoy!
