Crescent Rolls: October 2007
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Pecan Gralee (page 30). This is one of my favorite recipes. My mom usually makes it around Christmas. It is pronounced "gra-lay". A friend recently told me that she knew someone whose family made it all the time and even named their dog Gralee, although they spelled it gralet. 2 cups white sugar. 2/3 cup evaporated milk. 2 Tbsp. dark cane or corn syrup (I used corn syrup). 1/2 tsp. vanilla. 4 cups pecan halves (roast these first - I didn't and had to cook them longer). Cookin...

Crescent Rolls: January 2008
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. 2008 Resolutions - Late! I'm sorry that I haven't posted lately. I do intend to post more and get through more of my mom's recipes in the new year. Run more and read more. Learn to play at least one song on the mandolin. Since Mardi Gras is so early this year (Feb. 5th), it will be difficult to get started on any resolutions before Fat Tuesday. More posts following Mardi Gras. I might even work in a king cake! I love lemon meringue pie! So far, it looks great! 8531; cup (80 mL) ...

Crescent Rolls: April 2008
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. Daring Bakers- April: Cheesecake Pops. I've missed the last few Daring Bakers challenges. They have been some interesting ones, too. I definitely want to try to make french bread on my own and homemade white cake with buttercream frosting, but ran into too many obstacles these last few months. Mainly, I've been having trouble with my oven temperature. I finally got an oven thermometer and calibrated it properly, so I'm back in the kitchen! And Deborah from Taste and Tell. Note: Wh...

Crescent Rolls: Eat Down!
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2008/05/eat-down.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2008. We are on an "eat down", as my mother-in-law calls it. An eat down is when you start looking through your pantry and freezer and find uses for the strange (or ordinary) ingredients that ended up there. I am not sure when my mother-in-law initiates an "eat down" but I generally start one when I notice an accumulation of things that I will never use unless I sit down and plan menus around them. Like 4 boxes of Cheez-its? Or 8 cans of peas? 1) Cheez-it trail mix. 1 tsp hot sauce.

Crescent Rolls: November 2007
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 18, 2007. Mirliton Stuffed with Shrimp (page 18). What a fun band! This dish was one of my favorites as a child. My granny made it with shrimp and crabmeat. It was often served as a side dish. I've heard of other versions with beef and seafood. 6 medium sized mirliton. 3 Tbsp. butter. 2/3 cup finely chopped onion. 2 cups medium shrimp, peeled and deveined. 1/4 cup chopped parsley. 1/4 tsp. black pepper. 3 slices bread, soaked in water and squeezed. 3 Tbsp. melted butter. Serves 6 to 8.

Crescent Rolls: September 2007
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 8, 2007. Memere's Morning Crepes (page 25). It was really no big deal but I wanted to make sure that I cover myself since she has 3 lawyers in the family to give her advice. We'll start with my favorite, Memere's Morning Crepes. I have made these several times since we moved to New Orleans. Our neighbor said that he had not eaten crepes like these since he was a kid. 2 Tbsp melted butter. 1/2 tsp. salt. 1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour. 2 Tbsp. sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. This rose...

Crescent Rolls: February 2009
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2009. Asian-themed supper club - dessert? I thought that this might be the perfect opportunity to try to recreate the recipe. I found one on the internet that sounds similar. Here are the results:. I made a few changes and I thought it matched the Suwanna's dessert pretty well, although not exactly. Maybe it always tastes better the first time. 3/4 cup very thick coconut milk for topping the rice (freeze the rest of the coconut milk for other use later). 1/8 tsp salt for the topping.

Crescent Rolls: Lemony Bliss!
http://crescentrollsnola.blogspot.com/2008/01/lemony-bliss.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. I love lemon meringue pie! What's not to love - lemon curd, pie crust and fluffy clouds of meringue. Lemon meringue pie is one of my favorite desserts, but I've never made one on my own. I was delighted to see it listed as the January Daring Bakers challenge. I used the food processor method and had no problems at all. So far, it looks great! I'm saving it for tomorrow when my dear husband returns home. I did sneak a taste of the lemon curd bowl and it was wonderful! Preheat ove...
