Scallions recipes

This is an authentic family recipe that my mother taught me in 1950 in New Orleans. It makes a great dinner party main dish. Like chinese food, it is long on chopping and assembling, but goes together and cooks rather quickly.

Try something different this summer with this scrumptious chicken dish that will have you licking your fingers.

Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"

Why this recipe works: Simmering chicken broth with lime zest and ginger is a shortcut to Asian flavor.

If you're having friends over, then don't hesitate to make this hearty dish made with succulent ham, smoked sausage and hot pepper sauce.

Feeding a large a family? Don't worry, your crockpot can make this succulent dish that will make sure everyone's hunger is satisfied.
