Intent is nine-tenths of the law. Not getting caught - priceless.

ok...I know I promised rich and delicious cajun recipes but it is officially summer here and this is my fav summer salad, and so easy.

Baby Blue Salad
3/4 pound mixed salad greens
Basalmic Vinaigrette
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup mandarin oranges
1 pint fresh strawberries, quartered
1 cup pecan halves.
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon red pepper

Soak pecans in warm sugar water for 10 minutes, remove and drain. Toss pecans in 2 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon chili powder, adn 1 tablespoon red pepper. bake on cooking sheet in oven at 350 for 6 minutes. remove and let cool to slightly warm.

Toss greens and everything else(including pecans) with desired amount of baslamic, add blue cheese, toss again.

serve. very good with pinot grigio. Enjoy.

Missy - Do you eat sea critters or just veggies? cajun recipes are rae without the addition of one kind of critter or another. if no seafood, I'll post a desert.

Those sound yummy on their own... good nibbles with a glass of wine or two but the salad makes it even yummier. I'm trying that when I Christen out new paved patio... and toasting the hottie who built it!

^ Well you'd have to invite him darling. After all his hard work. It would be bad manners not to serve him up to us, sorry I mean serve him up some of our gorgeous recipes.

**Jocasta** · 05-30-2007, 05:24 AM

Would it be odd if when he's turns up for the bash, he finds I'm the only one here?

**MissyO** · 05-30-2007, 05:30 AM

Not as long as you've got a really great excuse rehearsed before hand!

**Ophelia** · 05-30-2007, 11:01 AM

and photos...don't forget the photos Jo!!

I will find a cajun dessert then. maybe bread pudding with white choc sauce, that ones always a crowd pleaser.

How about something for breakfast? Its simple but must be planned ahead.
This was appropriated from the Jefferson Avenue Boarding House.
The day before soak 1/2 cup of raisins in a cup of brandy overnight (any brand of brandy will do).
Prepare the desired amount of white rice (usually 1 cup cooked rice per person) according to the directions on the box.
Top with half and half or light cream, brown sugar and the brandied raisins.

^served warm or chilled?

Fixr, that sounds a bit like Rice Pudding (you guys have rice pudding, made with milk and short grain rice, don't you?)

Yes, but rice pudding is baked, this isn't. Its like eating sweetened rice and raisins with a bit of a kick.

**Jocasta** · 05-30-2007, 12:15 PM

Sounds different, I can't imagine it. Maybe I should try it. (I do love home made Rice pudding though and yes, it is baked for about 3 hours really low).

**MissyO** · 05-30-2007, 12:18 PM

Sounds a little like Asian rice pudding, without the coconut milk.

**MSFixR** · 05-30-2007, 12:21 PM

This is really easy. The last time I prepared it was on a float trip. We had about 80 people. Breakfast that morning was the rice cereal, scrambled eggs, bacon, link sausage, several varieties of juice and coffee. The hardest part was getting the water to boil for the minute rice - we were using camp stoves. Also you have to lock up the raisins in brandy or they disappear. I had a crew of 10 to help me.
