CREOLE CAESAR SALAD WITH CORN BREAD CROUTONS
My love for okra began as a child and continues to border on just this side of insanity. I love okra. As a young boy, I would smuggle a brown bag full of fried okra into the movies as my better-than-popcorn snack. On Sunday nights, I was famous for making fried okra and creamed corn sandwiches with fresh slices of tomato and loads of Duke's mayonnaise. Years later, while studying in Italy, I realized that Italians also took leftover vegetables and made sandwiches. All you need are cold vegetables, bread, and mayo. The Caesar salad treatment makes this lighter than a sandwich, although if you want to give it more heft, you can add shrimp, chicken, or duck.

Steps:
- For the salad:
- Place half the fried okra in a large bowl and add the romaine, corn, corn bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss until well coated.
- Divide the salad among six serving plates and top evenly with the remaining okra. Serve immediately.
- For the Creole Caesar dressing:
- In a small saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook over low heat until the garlic and onion are golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic and onion to a food processor; reserve the oil.
- Add the vinegar, bell pepper, celery, sugar, cayenne, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CREOLE CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER
Ideally you would make this in the middle of summer with ears of fresh, sweet-as-sugar corn. You can also make a perfectly fine version of this chowder using a premium-quality, extra-sweet, frozen corn.

~ MY CREOLE STEWED OKRA, CORN & TOMATOES ~
Being my hubby's from the south, he loves his Okra and I actually acquired a taste for it, once I learned to grow and cook it. This was one of the first of many Okra recipes I've put together, sort of based on one he tried explaining, that his mother would make. He enjoyed mine so much, that he requests it all of the time,...

Steps:
- To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over high heat. Add the onion, celery, and green bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Creole seasoning, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly, about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the filling into an 8-by-8-inch square or round baking dish. Set aside in a warm area, while preparing the topping.
- To prepare the topping, preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and mix until smooth. Add the green chiles, creamed corn, red and green bell peppers, the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until the mixture forms a soft batter.
- Carefully dollop the corn bread batter over the filling. Using an offset metal spatula, spread the batter smoothly across the top of the casserole, forming a thin layer.

OKRA AND CORN CREOLE
This is a traditional southern recipe. Best, if using fresh summer vegetables, but still a delicious side using frozen vegetables and ripe tomatoes, from the grocery or canned. When using fresh okra, use small to medium sized pods, for tenderness. From Cooking Light Cookbook 1994, with a slight tweak.

CREOLE CORN CHOWDER
Spicy and sweet - a delicious twist on traditional corn chowder. From Joe Simmer's Creole Slow Cookin' cookbook with a few changes for our tastes. I often dice the vegetables (except carrots and potatoes which I chop while the bacon is cooking) the day before cooking to save time. It's a lot of chopping but sooooo worth it! Enjoy!

CREOLE CORN CASSEROLE
I am confident you, your family and your guests will find this to be one of the best tasting and the the most easily prepared vegetable side-dishes to be found. It is an old Corn Souffle recipe that I bumped up a little by turning it into a Creole-Cajun type casserole. I started taking this to a monthly covered-dish dinner and there was never any left-overs to bring home, so I started doubling the recipe and I got the same results -- still no left-overs. And it is really better after it has been around for a couple of days. Guess I will have to start tripling the recipe, making one large casserole for the dinner and a smaller one to leave at home. I am under strict orders from the dinner group that I am to bring nothing but this dish. This suits me fine for it is so easy to prepare and I get a big kick from seeing my empty dish after the dinner.

Steps:
- 1. This is the book where the original recipe was found. A great book USING easy to find everyday ingredients. I used fresh corn off the cobb if you use frozen the prep time will be less.
- 2. Chop onions and bell pepper and set aside till needed.
- 3. Remove corn from cob with a sharp knife if using fresh. Make it easier to remove by placing a soup/cereal bowl upside down in a larger bowl, then rest the cob on the smaller bowl, and cut along the sides of the corn to remove kernels.
- 4. Add the coconut oil to a large skillet, then heat over medium high heat. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes till transparent.
- 5. Then add the drained diced tomatoes and stir to blend together, add the spices, add salt if desired.
- 6. Add the corn and continue to cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- 7. These are the main ingredients used in this recipe. Adding the 2 Tbs of REAL Bacon bits ONLY ADDED 50 CALORIES TO THE entire dish, & it packs a lot of flavor. Just 149 calories for one serving.
