Heat a dry skillet or tava over medium-high heat. Cook one roti at a time in the hot skillet until golden with some darker brown spots, about 1 minute per side, As it cooks, roll the next roti. Serve warm.

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

This chicken and sausage gumbo is made with a seasoned roux, a classic from the bayous of south Louisiana. I revised the recipe after many, many trials. Serve it hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.

Catha's Individual Turkey Pot Pies

A solid turkey pot pie recipe. It's a great way to use up leftover veggies or meat in your fridge at the end of the week or from big holiday meals. Don't have one of the vegetables listed? Just swap the equivalent of another veggie you do have in there! Have leftover cooked rice? Throw it in with the peas! Have chicken, ham, ground beef, pork roast, beef steak, etc. rather than turkey? Great, use what you have! One of our favorites is rotisserie chicken shredded up and stock that I make from those bones. Do what works for you. They freeze well and are a legit way to send a frozen care package meal to someone.

Caramel Apple Streusel Squares

On a buttery brown sugar-rolled oats crust, apples in a creamy caramel sauce are topped with a streusel mixture, baked, then served warm with ice cream.

Pork neck bones are great with greens or cabbage. They can be baked or boiled, this recipe can be fixed either way. It depends upon how much attention you want to give the dish. I think this is one of those meals that takes you back to your mother's kitchen.
