The worst seems to be behind us, thankfully, so back to typical weather next week. I&#39;m glad, because I need to spend some quality time in the kitchen cooking for our nephew and his wife; I intend to get some good, healthy meals in their freezer to make things easier after their first baby comes next month. First and foremost is a slow-braised beef pasta sauce I&#39;ve been making for Vince since he was a little kid.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">And for me, with the cooler weather it&#39;s time to get back to the grill. The last recipe below is for three different chimichurri sauces, all very good with anything off the grill. Freeze leftover to add instant interest to soups later this fall/winter. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">I&#39;ve also linked a really good brined and barbecued chicken dish; the brine makes a huge difference. And then, a very simple recipe for pan-fried fish; any mild white fish will do. Serve alongside rice or pasta for soaking up the pan juices.</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 have a lazy weekend planned, with good food and lots of fun. Then, I&#39;m going to spend a few days in Chicago; I haven&#39;t been in a very long time, and am looking forward to seeing the sights. Top of my list is a visit to the Field Museum to see the dinosaurs. As a kid, we had an illustrated set of encyclopedias, and the edition with the dinosaurs automatically fell open at that section.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">I&#39;m planning on a messy experience with a Chicago hot beef sandwich, probably a Chicago style hot dog, and will hit up my friend Lauren for a list of must-visit restaurants. It&#39;s her home town.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">For the recipes, first up, seafood-stuffed crabs. The seafood stuffing is delicious, and extremely versatile.

Lots of ways to eat them-- over rice, grits, or mashed potatoes, or as a filling for a po&#39;boy.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Next, a grilled shrimp, corn, and avocado salad that&#39;s perfect for dinner for a hot summer day. And finally, an easy recipe for grilled fish and summer squash packets; you can meal prep these in advance and toss them on the grill for a meal with minimal effort.</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.

All you have to do is fry some capers in olive oil, slice tomatoes and squash and toss it in the flavored oil, then divide among foil packets and grill. Assemble the packets in advance, put them on ice, and take them along to grill while tailgating, or on a summer picnic.</span></p> <p class="rtecenter"><a href="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/recipes/grilled-fish-and-summer-squash-packets-crispy-capers"><img alt="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/recipes/pineapple-upside-down-cake" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Newsletter/artwork/getrecipe-button_0.png" style="font-size: 14px; width: 123px; height: 34px;" /></a></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <hr /> <h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/kitchenandculture?sk=wall" target="_blank" title="Facebook">See what we&#39;re doing on Facebook</a>&nbsp;|</span></h4> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2026 Copyright Our Kitchen &amp; Culture,&nbsp;LLC.&nbsp;&nbsp;All Rights Reserved</span></p> <!-- begin subscription_form_widget.tmpl --> <form action="http://newsletter.kitchenandculture.com/cgi-bin/enews/mail.cgi" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" id="subscription_form" target="_self" > <input type="hidden" name="flavor" id="ddm_flavor" value="subscribe" > <div class="row"> <div class="small-12 columns"> <input type="hidden" name="list" id="ddm_list" value="louisianarecipes" > <div class="row"> <div class="large-4 medium-4 columns"> <label class="medium-text-right" for="ddm_email" > Email Address </label> </div> <div class="large-8 medium-8 columns"> <input type="email" name="email" id="ddm_email" value="" required="required" placeholder="user@example.com (required)" > </div> </div> <div id="ddm_subscriber_fields"> <div class="row"> <div class="large-4 medium-4 columns"> <label class="medium-text-right" for="ddm_address" > email </label> </div> <div class="large-8 medium-8 columns"> <input type="text" name="address" id="ddm_address" value="" placeholder="" > </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="large-4 medium-4 columns"> <label class="medium-text-right" for="ddm_first_name" > First Name </label> </div> <div class="large-8 medium-8 columns"> <input type="text" name="first_name" id="ddm_first_name" value="" placeholder="" > </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="large-4 medium-4 columns"> <label class="medium-text-right" for="ddm_last_name" > Last Name </label> </div> <div class="large-8 medium-8 columns"> <input type="text" name="last_name" id="ddm_last_name" value="" placeholder="" > </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="large-4 medium-4 columns"> &nbsp; </div> <div class="large-8 medium-8 columns"> <input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Subscribe" class="button success expand" id="ddm_subscribe_button" > </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="large-12 medium-12 columns large-centered medium-centered"> <p class="text-center"> Unsubscribe at Anytime | <a href="http://newsletter.kitchenandculture.com/cgi-bin/enews/mail.cgi/privacy_policy/louisianarecipes/" target="_blank" > Privacy Policy </a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </form> <!-- end subscription_form_widget.tmpl --> Sat, 15 Aug 2026 03:13:00 GMT http://newsletter.kitchenandculture.com/cgi-bin/enews/mail.cgi/archive/louisianarecipes/20260815031328/ http://newsletter.kitchenandculture.com/cgi-bin/enews/mail.cgi/archive/louisianarecipes/20260808031331/ <table border="0" style="height: 20px; width: 700px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"> <p><a href="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/cookbook-order"><img alt="" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/001MyLAKitchen/Newsletter%20banner.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 215px;" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: left;">click to order ^^</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="width: 700px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: middle; background-color: #ffcc00;"> <div style="margin-left: 440px; text-align: right;"><span style="color: #b22222;"><span style="color: #b22222;"><strong>August 8, 2026</strong></span></span></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: left; width: 700px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 500px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: dotted;"><img alt="Susan Ford" src="https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/sites/default/files/Mug-Shots/SusanF_0.png" style="width:200px; height:228px; border-width:1px; border-style:solid; margin:5px 10px; float:left" /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px; caret-color: rgb(178, 34, 34);"><span style="color: #b22222;"><strong>Sorry I missed you last week;&nbsp;</strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">the nasty summer cold that&#39;s been making the rounds caught up and took me out for almost 2 weeks.

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.
