National Rice Month – Rice a Louisiana Favorite
September 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Driving the Combine Holly Harvests Rice September is National Rice Month! In Louisiana we eat a lot of rice–from gumbos, etouffees, jambalayas, with red beans to my kid’s classic favorite, rice and gravy. In honor of this national recognition, Kevin Burkin invited me to his farm to see how rice is harvested. I went to Port Arthur, Louisiana (about a 2 hour drive for me) and had a day to remember. Never did I realize how big and sophisticated those combines were. These farmers work hard to make sure their crop is harvested in a timely manner and the combines today... [Read the full story]

One Giant Burger!

Burger Cake My friend called the other day and said she was making a cake for her 6-year-old nephew’s birthday party. She was stumped on what kind of cake to make because she needed something fairly easy that wasn’t loaded in icing, and would WOW children and adults. I sent her my Burger Cake recipe because I knew it was the perfect cake for his party. She said she had a lot of fun making the cake and that it was the talk of the party! It was a conversation piece for the adults, and the kids thought it was so cool! If you have a party coming up definitely try the Burger Cake and be prepared... [Read the full story]
