One of my all time favorite pastimes is cooking with my brother. We share a love of all things food. We spend our time talking about food and all the new recipes we’ve tried recently. Sadly due to the distance, we spend a lot of time talking about food. So when we do get together, we “show off” our new skills and cook together. It’s lots of fun, and I always learn a trick or two. But, let’s not forget about the food. It’s good! Amazingly good!
We spent a whole weekend at my brother’s house this trip, and we cooked up a storm. We started off with some crawfish etoufee and crawfish cornbread.
It was so good that I had to go for seconds. It skipped the rice this time and ladled the etoufee right on top of the cornbread. Mmmm, mmmm, good!
For dessert, my sister-in-law made her famous chocolate pie. I’ll admit that it’s not the prettiest pie in the world, but the way it tastes. OMG, it is chocolate meringue heaven.
Later that evening, my sister-in-law and I decided that cocktails were in order – Cosmo’s. I’ll spare you the Sex in the City jokes that seemed so funny at the time, but don’t make much sense now.
The next morning my brother made this frittata. He did not let my aversion to eggs get in his way. I picked at it a bit, but I really just don’t like eggs. The Aussie, however, loved it.
I made homemade buttermilk biscuits to go along with it. These were much more to my liking given the total absence of eggs.
Looking at all these picture now, it’s hard to believe we were still eating, but, alas, there is more to come. Sunday dinner started with some delicious smoked Cajun sausages.
And, some stuffed jalapenos. I love these!
For the main course, my brother made his famous Muffulburger with homemade chips. It’s what happens when a Muffuletta meets a hamburger. From the outside, it looks like any ordinary burger.
But, when you bite into it, you find a muffuletta inside.
I may not need to eat again for a week, but I loved every bite!

Every single one of your posts leaves me drooling!!!
All of this looks so, so good (well maybe except for the frittata!) Can I come over next time you and your brother get together to cook? I’ll even do dishes.
Give me the BIG breakfast. Looks yummy.
Still love it.
