Tuesday December 22nd Delivery and Christmas Specials

It is hard for me to write this but this will be my last menu. I have made a decision to go work with my Daddy and my husband at Panola Pepper. With my marketing background and cooking skills, I hope that I can help take the family business to the next level.

I would like to thank all of you for the amazing support and words of praise you've expressed to me over the last year. I have thoroughly enjoyed cooking the many meals for your family and hope you enjoyed them as well. If you ever need (or crave) a certain dish, I would be happy to make special orders. Just send me an email if you need anything.

Without further a due, here is my last menu.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
This is a great item to serve your family on Christmas eve while you all sit around and enjoy each others company and talk about the real meaning of Christmas. It is a tradition in my family that I thought I would share with you all. If you already have dinner plans for Christmas Eve, then as all Louisianaians know, gumbo is great whenever! $16/ quart.
I can also make a seafood gumbo for $22/quart
It will not come with the rice, but I suggest serving it over the Panola Popcorn Rice. This rice also comes in a brown rice that is by far the best brown rice on the market.

Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
This is back by popular demand. I let the cat out of the bag this weekend to a customer/friend about having a final menu, and she begged for Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti. So, Ann, here it is!
If you haven't had this one yet, I take roasted chicken and combine it with a cheesy cream sauce made of cream cheese, Velveeta, sour cream, cheddar, rotel, and other spices (Panola spices of course) all over spaghetti noodles and topped with more cheddar cheese. YUMMY!!! Great comfort food! $25.00

Cheesy Sausage Casserole
This is a recipe that my friend, Kim, shared with me many years ago. It will be prefect for Christmas morning. The children are playing with all the new toys Santa brought, and you are enjoying your coffee while watching the excitement and magic of Christmas. So, don't miss a minute of the fun to go cook. Pop in this casserole and continue to enjoy your family.
The casserole is sauteed pork sausage combined with cream cheese and colby jack cheese layered between crescent rolls. Simple and delicious! $23.00

Spinach Madeline
The classic side dish! It is a combination of chopped spinach with sauteed onions mixed with a Bechamel sauce, garlic cheese, and Panola Worcestershire sauce. I topped it with Italian style bread crumbs and fresh parmesan cheese. It is so yummy that even my children eat it......spinach makes their muscles big like Popeye. $18.00

Chicken Sauce Piquant
This one is for my Daddy. It's his favorite! I season the chicken with Panola Poultry Seasoning, then brown it. The fresh white onions and celery are sauteed in the pan drippings. This is what makes the gravy so divine. I add some rotel and homemade tomato sauce before returning the chicken to simmer. With the addition of a small amount of Panola Gourmet Pepper Sauce, along with the browned onions and celery, the gravy is a dark, rich rust colored sauce - not a typical Ragu colored spaghetti sauce. Serve it over Panola Popcorn rice (white or brown) and a side of green beans for a complete meal. My Dad always wants a biscuit with his so that he can sop up the gravy. It will come in the usual 8 x 8 aluminum pan with 1/2 chicken. (1 breast, 1 thigh, 1 leg, and 1 wing) $26.00

Beef Enchiladas
They are made with lean ground beef, flour tortillas, and a creamy cheese sauce. Come home from work or hauling kids, kick back, have some chips and salsa with a margarita and finish with these delicious enchiladas. You won't regret it. $24.00

Portobello Mushroom Bisque
This soup would be a great gift for someone who has done something special for you or great as a meal if front of the fireplace watching a movie.
I make this soup by sauteing onions and baby portobello mushrooms then adding chicken broth and half and half. I let it simmer so the flavors can marry. It is seasoned with fresh thyme from my garden, Panola Clearly Hot Sauce, Panola Jalapeno Sauce, and lemon zest. Don't let the hot sauces scare you. The Clearly Hot Sauce isn't a "hot" hot sauce. It truly is a flavor enhancer. By adding this sauce to your food it allows all the flavors to come out without making the dish spicy. Now, the Panola Jalapeno Sauce adds a little heat but the flavor it adds is unbelievable. The mild jalapeno flavor with the creaminess of the soup is a perfect accompaniment of flavors. I like to top the soup with croutons and parmesan cheese and place it under a broiler for a few minutes. Then drizzle a tad bit of olive oil before serving for an amazing finish to a simple bowl of soup. $12/quart

Classic Beef Lasagna
Tired of Thanksgiving food? Then try my most requested dish - lasagna!
I make this classic Italian dish with a combination of lean ground beef and lean ground Italian sausage. First, I saute the meat with garlic and onions. Then, I brown the tomato paste before combining it with the meat, which is a key step to making this meat sauce taste so delicious. Once I combine the meat and tomato paste to make the meat sauce I simmer it with plenty of fresh basil (which is also from my garden) Next, I make a homemade creamy bechamel sauce that will knock your socks off. Then I layer the meat sauce, noodles, bechamel sauce, and mozzarella cheese. This is a great dish for the entire family. Serve it with a salad and French bread for a complete and easy meal. $25.00

Thanksgiving Specials

Cheese Grits
This is a classic southern dish that is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you are having a house full of company for Thanksgiving, order these so you don't have to worry about cooking breakfast on top of everything else you have to do. Or, if you are a guest at someone's home this year, bringing these grits would be a great gift for the host and hostess. $18.00

Stuffed Potatoes
If your family is any thing like mine, getting together at the holidays is a must. We always have so many people staying with us for the holidays, that eating and drinking is all we do. (it's amazing that we aren't all 5oo lbs) I thought that these potatoes would be a perfect item to have in your freezer. You can thaw these, throw some steaks on the grill, fix a salad and have an easy delicious meal. (Try marinading your steaks in Panola Marinade and Panola Gourmet. The Gourmet sauce is a must for a prefect steak!)Fix this meal on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, or save them for you to enjoy whenever. My stuffed potatoes are stuffed with a combination cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, and chives. They will come two in a pack. $8/pack

Chicken and Spinach Quiche
This is another versatile dish. It can be served any time of the day, even as an appetizer for a party. I thought this would be a great accompaniment to your Thanksgiving meal, or as a meal on Friday night when you are tired of Thanksgiving leftovers. $15.00

Eggplant Parmesan with Ground Sausage
I created this dish one night when my husband freaked out at the thought of not having any meat for dinner. Men! I had already prepared the eggplant, and the marinara was on the stove simmering. So, what was I going to do? I had half a pound of Jimmy Dean sausage in the refrigerator, so I decided to brown it and layer it with the eggplant and provolone cheese. Not too sure how this was going to turn out, but at least I got to finish what I started cooking and I satisfied Mike's need for meat. Actually, it was wonderful! The ground sausage was not too overpowering, just a nice added layer of flavor. The eggplant was moist in the middle and crisp on the outside. The fresh basil (from my garden) in the marinara really made a difference. It really was delicious. My parents ate dinner with us that night and loved it. Mama is not a big fan of eggplant, but she loved this version of the traditional dish. Serve it with an Italian salad and a glass of your favorite red wine. $25.00


King Ranch Chicken
This is a Mexican inspired dish that incorporates tomatoes, lots of cheese, fresh cilantro, and Mexican spices (and of course Panola Hot Sauce). It will leave you very satisfied, and don't worry it's not too spicy. Think chicken enchilada lasagna style! The chicken is seasoned with Panola Poultry seasoning and roasted to perfection, then combined with fresh, organic herbs form my garden and layered with tortillas, cheese, onions, and tomatoes. The combination of flavors is a pleasure that will surely delight your soul. Let me cook for you so you can enjoy the weather, while it last! $24.00

Pasta Jambalaya
This is a dish that I created in the kitchen at DeAngelo's back when Mike owned the Prairieville location. Before we had kids, I would come home from teaching school, then go to DeAngelo's to help Mike. We got tired of eating the same thing, so I would go to the kitchen and create different dishes. This one was the best! (and the staff thought so too) This pasta dish is a great blend of grilled chicken, smoked sausage, and tasso sauteed with onions, red and green bell peppers, and garlic in a creamy sauce. The main seasoning is Panola Gourmet sauce. Don't tell my Daddy (or husband), but once I ran out of the Gourmet sauce, so I just made it without the Panola sauce, thinking it would be fine. It wasn't! The Panola Gourmet is the secret ingredient that really makes you say "Umm, that is so good. What has she put in this?" $24.00

Potato Soup
Fall is finally here! The days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler, so warm up with a great bowl of potato soup. As I am sure you know, potato soup is a great healing soup. So for any of you that have family members with the flu, (or anything else) serve them some potato soup and watch the color come back to their cheeks. This soup can also be fun for the children. Put out sour cream, chives, bacon bits, and cheese, and let the kids fix their own bowl. The Panola Spicy Sweet Jalapenos is also another great topping. Try it - I think you will really like it. $12/quart

Chili
I had a special request for this one. It is also a great fall/winter dish. My family loves it! Mike will make himself sick eating it. He likes to eat it 3 different ways. His first bowl is with Fritos, cheese, and sliced onions. The second bowl is with saltine crackers and jalapenos, and the third is over rice. Try one of his bowls or your own. Any way you have your chili, it will be delicious. I can make it with or without beans, so let me know your preference. Leftovers are great for making chili cheese dogs! $15/quart

Chicken 'n Dumplings
Good down home southern cookin'!!! Sometimes nothing beats a good country meal. Fix some fried okra and have yourself a true southern meal. $15/quart (1 quart = 3 adult servings)


Crawfish Enchiladas
These enchiladas will melt in your mouth. They are a perfect blend of Mexican and Louisiana cuisine. The fresh Louisiana crawfish tails are sauteed with onions and bell peppers, then infused with a mixture of Mexican cheeses and seasonings. They are hand rolled in flour or wheat tortillas (your choice) and topped with green onions. If your children run at the sight of something green on their food, I can leave off the green onions. And, they will never know that there are onions and bell peppers in the enchiladas - I chop them VERY small. $26.00 flour or $27.00 wheat
