So I&#39;m going to start the dough today, and make a big batch of meatballs to simmer in marinara sauce. We&#39;ll either have meatball sandwiches, or I&#39;ll cook a pot of pasta. Salad on the side, and we&#39;ll call it a delicious Italian family dinner. I know we&#39;re in the middle of a heat wave, but it&#39;s never a bad time to make meatballs.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">For the recipes this week, first up is a devil crab recipe from Mario Batali. There are quite a few steps to it, but it isn&#39;t difficult, and the resultant well-seasoned crab croquettes are delicious.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, a quick, easy fried shrimp recipe, on a stick if you want to fool around that much, that will delight all the shrimp lovers (me!) around the table. And finally, a classic three bean marinated salad from Martha Foose. It gets better as it sits in the refrigerator, and is a tangy, cool treat for a hot summer day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.

It was delicious; I foisted some of it off on neighbors. We have tentative plans to make it again this weekend; if that pans out I&#39;ll take pictures and post the recipe. It&#39;s easy, doesn&#39;t take much hands on time, and is all around well worth the little effort it does take. It&#39;s hot this&nbsp;week, so planning ahead for low lift dinners at the end of the week saved my sanity.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">For the recipes this week, I picked two that are really easy, and a third that&#39;s going to take more time and effort, so save it for when you have plenty of extra hands in the kitchen. Or, prep and cook over 2-3 days. First up, an easy chicken, cashew, and date stir fry that can be served over hot cooked rice or, even faster, stir fried udon noodles (most well stocked grocery stores have them in the Asian food section these days).</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, swap out chicken for catfish filets, and bake, instead of fry, Catfish Parmesan. I&#39;d serve it with marinara sauce over al dente spaghetti with a crisp, cold salad on the side. And finally, a 3-component seafood paella dish that is truly feast worthy. Make the seafood stock and the finishing sauce in advance and it&#39;ll come together a lot faster on serving day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.

This week the coast is seeing monster sets of waves coming in from the south, and the surfing beaches are hopping with excitement. Very interesting, nothing like the Gulf of Mexico I grew up on. Our beach here doesn&#39;t usually get much surf because of a protective jetty built around the harbor during WWII, but even we&#39;re seeing and hearing some decent waves. I&#39;ve always loved the ocean, and am very happy to be living so close to it these days.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">For the recipes this week, first up, a chilled tomato platter that has been a summer staple for years. The recipe is from the first Mexican cookbook I ever bought, more years ago than I care to recount. The author said she first came across the dish while visiting La Paz in Baja Mexico. I like it so much I included it in my cookbook.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, a one-pan chicken dish featuring a summer corn and ripe tomato maque choux. It&#39;s a simple recipe, but bursting with flavor. And finally, two of my favorite seafoods, gigantic shrimp stuffed&nbsp;with a savory crab cake mixture. They can be prepped a few hours in advance, making them a great choice for your next barbecue party.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.

I made a pot of stock with it all yesterday in the Instant Pot. The stock was a little cloudy because of the breading but not nearly as much as I&#39;d figured it would be; I guess because the liquid doesn&#39;t boil under pressure? Anyway, it tastes really good, so I&#39;ll continue saving the occasional fried chicken bone in with my other stock scraps.

No tarragon for me.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, meatloaf with a little Mexican flair; I thicken the gravy with a little flour, because that&#39;s the way my mother made tomato gravy. Serve it with mashed potatoes for a delicious meal.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">And finally, an entr&eacute;e salad; for me, peaches with shrimp and I add a little peppery arugula.

I was lucky enough to do a photo shoot at his house one summer, and ate these fresh off the grill. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, Emeril&#39;s crab cakes with a fancy mustard&nbsp;sauce. Definitely appropriate for a dinner party, easy enough for a weeknight. Add a steamed veggie (double the mustard sauce for broccoli!) and a salad, and done.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">And finally, a bread salad that Jim and I are currently obsessed with. I had it for dinner Tuesday night with shrimp left over from Memorial Day, stuffed in a fresh pita instead of bread in the salad, and finished it off for breakfast Wednesday morning; it will definitely be on repeat for a while.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.

We&#39;re planning a feast on Monday.

I need to get it into our dinner rotation in the next few weeks. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, my take on ribs; I parboil in advance, then coat them in a rub and refrigerate overnight. I bring them up to room temp then sear them off quickly on a hot grill; fall off the bone tender and full of flavor.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">And finally, a simple recipe for shrimp skewers that work in a lot of ways. We&#39;ll serve them this weekend as a pick-and-eat appetizer, but they&#39;re very good with pasta, in a taco, on a salad, or with a steak for a surf-and-turf combo.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.

Or, use your imagination and adapt it to little cherry tomatoes for one-bite hors d&#39;oeuvres.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">And finally, a long slow braised pot of short ribs. The recipe suggests using them to stuff tacos, but my first choice would be to serve them over polenta or mashed potatoes, with good crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Enjoy these recipes, stay&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and healthy,&nbsp;and, as always, let me know what&#39;s on your mind.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Best regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/susanSig.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 49px;" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="width: 99px; height: 49px;">Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director<br /> Louisiana Kitchen &amp; Culture</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">P.S.
