Oven Baked Jambalaya

Impress your family and friends when you serve this classic and flavorful Creole dish and best of all, it's easily made in the oven. I brought a huge roaster pan full to a neighborhood fish fry and needless to say, there were no leftovers.

Fried Chicken Wings

Fried chicken wings prepared Buffalo-style that taste absolutely wonderful!

Fruit Salad with Lemon-Cinnamon Syrup

This is a sweet fruit salad intended to be served as a low-fat dessert. The syrup is essential; without it, you just have an ordinary fruit salad, for which you probably don't need a recipe! You can vary the fruits to use what you have on hand. This is especially good with strawberries and melon. Bananas might be too overpowering, though.

Baked Chicken Wings

These baked chicken wings are easy, crispy, and delicious! I normally serve them with a side of rice, chicken gravy, and a vegetable or salad.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

This chicken tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. It's healthy, too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away. Garnish with grated Cheddar, avocados, and a splash of fresh lime juice.
