Have you been searching for a recipe for a special cake to serve your guests in your next get-together? What would be a better way to make an impression than a gorgeous, delicious dessert on top of a great dinner! This Bourbon Pecan Cake really is a special taste of the South – rich in flavor, yet well balanced and with a light, fluffy texture.

 

Yes, we Southerners do like our bourbon whiskey, and you don’t have to get the least bit tipsy to enjoy the great flavor it provides (unless you want to, of course). This is a surprisingly easy cake recipe that complements the naturally rich flavor of bourbon with cinnamon and pecans (with just a bit of salt to balance all of the flavors) while making use of a couple of simple ingredients and easy tricks to keep the cake really light and fluffy. And you don’t have to bend over backwards to make it!

This Country Captain Chicken is a super-quick and easy version of an age-old Southern recipe, brought to you by way of Rachael Ray. It’s ready in just half an hour, which makes it a perfect weeknight meal for busy moms and dads!

 

I was scouring through one of Mother’s old cookbooks recently (you could say I’m always looking for ideas wherever I can find them, and I’m not shy about searching the old-school way), and I came across a recipe for a dish called “Country Captain Chicken.” Apparently, no one is exactly sure where and how the dish originated, though the theory is that it was introduced to Savannah, Georgia, in the 1800s by a sea captain who frequented the spice route from India. After a little searching online to see if an updated version of the recipe existed out there, I was delighted to come upon this quick and easy version here.

It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

 

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

If you have a hankering for some good Southern cookin’ and the convenience of a fast one-pot meal, give this Quick One-Pot Red Beans and Rice recipe a try. It’s great flavor without much hassle or time investment.

 

I love red beans and rice. It’s a classic Southern meal, particularly good for the cooler months. The traditional method involves cooking the beans with some good herbs, spices, and various types of pork until the beans (and other ingredients) practically make a gravy. It’s delicious, but it takes an incredibly long time, and then you have to cook the sausage and rice separately. This recipe lightens things up a bit (some people who aren’t fans of creamier or soupier beans may actually prefer that; I like them both ways), and even more importantly, it combines everything into one easy pot and speeds everything up while still bringing that great Deep South flavor.

One of the great things about most “Southern comfort” dinner items is that you don’t have to use really expensive ingredients to make a great meal. I have always admired people from the South – it seems they can grab just a few basic ingredients, throw them together and create unbelievable, mind-blowing results! This was one of the first Southern dishes I tried and it was a great one for a beginner. The gravy really does about make itself (with the help of a little cornstarch). It’s a great midweek meal idea.

Just six ingredients, plus salt and pepper, and you can have these Beef Tips With Rice and Gravy on your dinner table. And at 10 minutes to prep and an hour to cook, it’s not back-breaking or really time-consuming to put together. This has been one of my favorite recipes ever since I tried it, and I’m pretty sure it’ll stay in my box of favorites forever!

If you have some boneless, skinless chicken breasts that you need to use, and you want to kick it up a notch without too much of a time or labor investment, give this Cajun Chicken & Rice recipe a try. Some recipes from Louisiana and the Deep South can be real labors of love. This one is rather quick and easy, yet it still serves up plenty of good Cajun flavor. It makes for a great weeknight dinner option.

 

I opted to go without the cheddar cheese (which you add at the end, if using), as I wanted a bit of a cleaner, more spicy dish. If you want the dish to be a bit on the softer and creamier side, or if you just really love cheese, then you will want to include it. It’s a delicious recipe, either way – just a matter of your personal preference.

Quick tip: Go with the mild Ro-Tel unless you want the dish to be REALLY spicy; hot Ro-Tel tomatoes are properly HOT.

This Dirty Rice is quick and easy Southern soul food at its finest. It makes in just 35 minutes and four easy steps–great for a hectic weeknight dinner. I could eat dirty rice most any time of year, but it is particularly good when the weather is turning cooler and you want something that will fill you up right without much hassle or time investment. And it is just piquant enough to excite your palate without coming anywhere close to setting your mouth on fire.

 

If you want the full Southern “soul food” experience, I do recommend cooking this with the bacon grease. That bacon flavor can work wonders with many a recipe, and it gives the recipe a more filling, savory kick. If you want a bit of a lighter-tasting dish, however, or if you need to watch your cholesterol, go with the olive oil.
