Frogmore Stew

Submitted by: Shirley
I've been using this recipe for over 20 years, ever since I moved to South Carolina. It can be adjusted to serve any number. Allow 2 tablespoons of seasoning per quart of water. If you cannot find hot smoked sausage, use another smoked sausage such as kielbasa and add crushed hot red pepper to the pot.

Famous in the Low Country of Georgia and South Carolina. This boil is done best on an outdoor cooker. It has sausage, shrimp, crab, potatoes and corn for an all-in-one pot all-you-can-eat buffet!

This will remind you of pumpkin bread, with its cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans. The flavor does differ, though, so be sure to give this recipe a try.

An authentic Louisiana recipe with a rich and spicy fresh tomato based roux with fresh garlic, bell peppers, celery and onions mixed with crawfish and shrimp. A little time consuming but well worth it!! Serve over steamed rice with hushpuppies and/or crackers on the side.

Deep-frying a turkey takes place outdoors. A twelve pound turkey will cook for about 45 minutes. A whole peeled onion is used to keep the three gallons of oil from scorching.

Submitted by: kimberly woods
You can really taste the sweet potatoes in this creamy wonderful pie. There 's buttermilk stirred into the filling and a bit of baking soda, sugar, eggs, flour, and a smidgen of butter. There 's a bit of vanilla, but no spices, so the finished pie is mostly sweet potato.

Olive Salad for Muffalettas

Submitted by: bestrachan
Home Town: Upland, California, USA
Living In: Meadow Vista, California, USA
I created this olive salad recipe after a vacation to New Orleans. Muffaletta sandwiches are fabulously addictive! Sometimes I will assemble the sandwiches and broil them open faced until the meat is crisped and the cheese melted and toasty. Enjoy!

Alabama Pulled Pig

Submitted by: Robert McWilliams
Best if cooking is started the day before serving. Boston butt is the easiest to make on a small scale. Use a shoulder or a whole shoulder (which is a shoulder plus the Boston butt) for larger crowds. The sauce skimmed off the top is very, very hot and can also be used to make terribly hot chicken wings.

My Grandma Ollie-Belle made the best 'greens.' This recipe is as close to hers as I could come. The 'pot-liquor' is the key to great greens!! Serve with fresh green onions and black-eyed peas with rice.
