  1. I loved this dish so much! It was hearty and comforting. Will definitely be making again.
     
  2. This is very yummy. Make sure to use a good barbecue sauce.
     
  3. This was great! I used a combination of ham, sausage, and shrimp, and my family ate it up. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. This was very good. I used smoked sausage, smoked pork chops, leftover chicken. It turned out excellently. I also added a liberal dose of Emeril's Bayou Blast Cajun seasoning and several drops of green tabasco. My husband and I really liked this and I will definely be making it again. Also, cooked up fairly quickly - I had everything ready to mix with the rice when it was done - so start to finish about 30 minutes. Khandi

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
