Sazerac Cocktail

There's a lot to love about this classic whiskey and bitters beverage. The official drink of New Orleans, the Sazerac cocktail is every bit as aromatic and flavorful as most anything else from down on the bayou.

These herb-studded lamb burgers come with a surprise inside: a pocket of creamy goat cheese. For a tender burger, mix the lamb and seasonings until just combined and gently shape the patties. Add some pickled red onions for a bright accent.

Grilled Sausages with Prunes and Bacon

My husband's grandmother gave me this recipe. The combo of sweet prunes, salty bacon and meaty sausages is delicious. This recipe is great with any fresh, large sausage (just not the wee breakfast-style sausages). Sometimes I use sweet Italian, sometimes spiced Italian, sometimes bratwurst, sometimes knockwurst, and sometimes just local pork sausage. Serve in buns with all the usual fixin's (sauerkraut, mustard, relish, etc.).
