It is no secret to anyone that knows me that I love to cook and that I love, love, love delicious southern dishes.

Red Beans & Rice
This Deep South favorite is served at most restaurants on Mondays in Louisiana. Try my easy home version using canned beans. Serve over rice with hot cornbread.
Simply Sensational Fish Carlysle
Simply Sensational Fish Carylsle
Holly Clegg’s buddy, Don, keeps her spoiled with his fresh fish and her photographer, David, gave her the scoop on his divine Carlysle sauce. The fish is wonderful alone with the lemon garlic sauce, but topped with the Carlysle sauce, is about as good as it gets!
Cinnamon French Toast With Caramel Apples
Cinnamon French Toast With Caramel Apples
This amazing one-dish breakfast tastes like apple pie and French toast combined in one bite. Holly Clegg created this scrumptious recipe when she needed a quick, impressive breakfast dish to serve company at a moment’s notice.
Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
This crowd-pleasing jambalaya is a bountiful, true Louisiana meal with hearty chicken, sausage and rice all in one dish. For a short-cut, use rotisserie chicken.

I love beans and rice. I could eat that as a dish on its own. The jambalaya would be a crowd pleaser over here.
