Here are a few pics of some of the fabulous Cajun dishes that I served on my Christmas Eve buffet. The Roast Turkey and Cornbread- Sausage Casserole were really scrumptious and the Cajun Baked Ham w/Sugarcane-Bourbon Glaze was out of this world! And this was despite the fact that I accidentally turned the oven to broil, instead of bake, for 30 minutes, before I noticed !! This is what happens when I try to cook before I have my coffee! It just charred the outside of the ham, and the inside was moist and delicious! Oh, cest bon, cher!
And what's Christmas, without some sinfully delicious BeBe's Potato Salad and Crawfish Etouffee! Cest bon, cher!
And a few more yummy sides, Broccoli-Cheese Casserole, Sweet Potato Fluff, and Cajun Cornbread Dressing! Le bon manger,cher!
Hope that ya'll had a wonderful Christmas and are relaxing, tonight, with your favorite holiday drink. A few friends stopped by and we are drinking Banana Coladas and Cranberry Jacks and listening to some classic rock mixed in with a little bayou boogie.

Marguerite, I made the glaze for our ham on Christmas day and OMG! it was fabulous! Really, Really awesome. Thanks for sharing that recipe. You never steer us wrong girl.
Makes me hungry just looking at it all.
btw, I sent you an email with a question about the praline recipe you posted.
Fabulous looking meal! Just looking at those pics is making me crave xmas dinner cajun style ;)
Holy cow! That spread looks delightful. The ham...although, you thought it was charred, it looked golden brown-perfect! I like that cocktail too.
love everything... but I am afraid that drin is a terrible way to ruin Jack...
Have you published the cornbread sausage recipe???
Oh, I wish I could have come to your house for Christmas dinner!!! There's something wrong with my oven (definitely the oven--not the cook...LOL)...and things wouldn't cook...And just looking at your pictures makes my mouth water!!! Have a wonderful New Years, my dear friend!!! Looks like I know who can whip up not only delicious food, but fabulous holiday "brew" ;-) Love you! Janine XO

how do you stay so slim my dear? your dinner looks sinful and that Cranberry Jack sounds like a treat. We aren't going anywhere New Year's Eve, or, as my husband refers to it "Amateur Night" so I should create something fun to drink and nibble.
I love coming here to dance & eat, Cher!
Aloha, Sister-Friend
