Pot roast is equal to mac & cheese when it comes to comfort food. Summer or winter, a succulent hunk of beef with carrots, onions and potatoes is just a gift from the food gods.

Not only is it great for company, it’s a perfect weekend dish, which I prefer to braise in the oven over a couple of hours (which is why I make it on the weekends). Then, the leftovers are to-die-for, either reheated as the main dish or on an open-face sandwich with the gravy over the top.
Anyway you slice it, pot roast is delicious and hearty.

Perhaps no comfort food is more beloved than macaroni and cheese.

For years, I thought you could just make some pasta, throw on a little butter and cheese, run it into the oven and expect great results. Not really.
Now, here’s a real creamy, golden crusted version with Bechamel sauce and a little Creole cayenne for pop. It warms well for leftovers, too.
Hope you’ve had a chance to take advantage of the “coolinary” restaurant specials this month in New Orleans. We have one week left for you to cram in a few more meals.

Happy National Catfish Month! In honor of the beloved mudcat, I made fish tacos – a really fresh, tasty treat.
My son inspired the dish by taking me to a restaurant the other day where we both had some. That’s when I realized the best way to season fish is a spicy rub, not marinade. So, here, I’ve given that a whirl. It hits all the right notes, and if you want to go spicier, have at it!
My daughter-in-law made a nice veggie dish to complement the tacos – chopped zucchini, squash, garlic, black beans, cumin and a store-bought Mexican sauce cooked in an iron skillet.
This fish taco recipe does not disappoint. It’s also a fun entree for a crowd. Give it a try.
