From Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking. This is a fairly basic seasoniong mix. If you want hotter, decrease the paprika and increase the cayenne. I wouldn't mess with the black pepper amount, however, since that will change the texture and color of the mix.
Forget about pasta salad being the same old, same old. Ripe vegetables and whole wheat noodles get together for a fresh-tasting, better-for-you take on a classic potluck fave.
This is a recipe which I came upon when I joined my husband's family. It's so popular and I'm on the verge of making little spice packets I can just throw in with the rest of the ingredients. I'm not sure if there's someone out there with the original idea for this dish, but we have modified it quite a bit for personal taste.
I used to live off of these when I was low carbing. They freeze really well. I also occasionally mixed in TVP (texturized vegetable protein) and flax for some extra fiber.
Everything a refreshing summer salad should be, only juicier. It has just the right amount of hearty, with nuts and cheese on top. Make this when peaches are at their ripest.
The ultimate get-together dish, this looks and tastes like summer in a bowl. And the best part? You can make it ahead so you can spend the day at the pool.
