Sausage in Potato Gravy

This is a long time family favorite in my house and is one of our ‘comfort’ foods given to us by a true Cajun. I make this with fresh [raw] sausage from Burton Sausage Co in Burton, TX., you can only get it at the OLD butcher shop on Navasota Rd. Any raw sausage you like would be great in this but it needs to be raw meat for the best results. Always a ‘go to ‘ when pressed for time or don’t feel like cooking! I have never really measured the items in this recipe- When asked how much? I always say ‘enough’. After many requests I decided to try to get it down on paper! So here goes!

Bistecca All Fiorentina

Garlicky, lemony Italian-style grilled steaks served with steamed spinach. Adapted from a recipe on Huey’s website. Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a popular Australian chef who hosts a TV show twice each weekday and has written several books. He also owns Tolarno’s restaurant in Melbourne.

Chilled Potato and Leek Soup – Vichyssoise

Most recipes for chilled potato soup have lots and lots of heavy cream thus fat. This recipe is very simple to put together and very low in fat. As it chills it becomes super thick and creamy. After having tried this both chilled and at room temperature, I highly recommend room temperature. The recipe is from William-Sonoma Essentials of Healthy Cooking.

Ainsley’s Barbecue Spice Rub

A wonderfully simple and aromatic spice rub, that tastes just fantastic. Can be used on all meats, but especially good rubbed into chicken ( a quick dinner favourite of our cooked on the old George Foreman grill!) Even my dad raves about this, and he is more than mean with his compliments when it comes to food!!
