Crawfish-Stuffed Artichokes

I found beautiful artichokes at the grocery store earlier this week; no time to cook, alas, so I had to pass on them, but this recipe came to mind. It's easy, delicious, and IMPRESSIVE!

Jazz Fest Stuffed Crawfish Bread

Put this one on your list of things to bake over the holidays. Double the recipe if you've got a crowd coming; the stuffed bread can be par-baked, wrapped tightly, and frozen, for crawfish-bread-on-demand for unexpected get-togethers.

Creole Eggplant with Shrimp

This is excellent served as a side dish to anything roasted; to serve as an entrée, halve the eggplants and roast until softened enough to scoop the insides out. Use the flesh to proceed with the recipe, and stuff the eggplant shells instead of baking in a casserole.
