In winding up, we cannot thank y’all enough for all of your love and support this year. Here’s to an even better 2018!
I want to try Crustless Squash Pie and Gumbo with Chicken, Sausage, Crab, and Shrimp, among others. All of the recipes sound so good. I’m the grandma, so I don’t cook large meals very often, but enough to want to do more.
We hope you will try them out. We’re big fans of making a big recipe (like the gumbo, for instance) and putting some in the freezer for later.
