Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This is a recipe Shay has been cooking for years. I think it is one of the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipes, because the raisins are soft and the flavors blend with the rest of the cookie, as opposed to being small gritty pebbles like most other oatmeal raisin cookies I’ve had,
Blackened Seasoning Spice Mix
This is the best combination of spices I have found so far to blacken fish and shrimp, but I will also use this on other meats when I’m in the mood for something different
Baked Potato Soup
All the deliciousness of a baked potato, but in soup form!
Cajun Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
Words can’t describe how in love I am with this cajun style jambalaya. You’ll need to plan a day to grill a couple chickens to do it right, but you can take a couple shortcuts to make a very delicious meal. The best part is that this dish actually becomes more flavorful when you let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple days- so don’t expect to have leftovers for long.
Cajun Spice Mix
I always make sure to have this cajun spice mix on hand- It’s great in just about anything, including jambalaya, dirty rice, and to incorporate into dry rubs for smoking chickens and grilling steaks.
Smoked Gouda Beer Cheese Soup
This is a home made recipe inspired by the phenomenal beer cheese soup made by Phantom Canyon Brewery in Colorado Springs. We were originally attempting to clone it, but ended up creating a wonderful concoction all on its own!
Ground Beef and Oat Meatloaf
I’d do anything for love… except share the last slice of this delicious and easy to make meatloaf!
Tofu Cutlets Marsala
This is a lovely savory vegetarian take on marsala, using fried tofu in place of chicken. It’s been a repeated hit amongst the vegetarians in our house!
Sourdough Pancakes
This is probably my favorite pancake recipe, and I have made this on countless occasions both at home and out camping!
