Chicken and Andouille Gumbo
Peyton Beckwith
You’ll find all the classic gumbo components are here—a deep, dark roux, the “holy trinity” (green bell pepper, celery, and onion), and a nice spoonful of gumbo filé. The result is a thick, flavorful chicken and sausage gumbo packed with delicious flavors.
Chicken Wing Boil

This chicken wing boil, a Cajun-seasoned combination of wings, eggs, andouille, potatoes, and corn, has all the appeal of a seafood boil, but is made with chicken. This recipe calls for only 15 minutes of hands-on prep time, so it’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but special enough for a celebration.

These 5-ingredient salmon teriyaki bowls are a riff on the Trader Joe’s favorite. They’re light and high protein at the same time, perfect to power you through the day.
“A flavorful, simple, and convenient meal to throw into the rotation for a busy family,” shared one reviewer. “Versatile, too, as I imagine one can add your favorite veggie toppings. It being healthy is a BONUS!”
Bacon Wrapped Cheese Crackers

Get ready to meet your new favorite appetizer: the Bacon Wrapped Cheese Cracker. The caramelized bacon around these wrapped cheese crackers is genius. A little assembly (tiny cracker sandwiches!), a slow bake in the oven, and you are serving the best party appetizer imaginable.
