We’re brunchin’ all spring long and classics like bagels and lox (salmon) is one of my favorites to serve. 

I made a Smoked Salmon Dip last month and today I am sharing my Salmon and Bagel Board. 

This delicious charcuterie board is loaded with fresh and flavorful ingredients for creating a smoked salmon and bagel station at your next brunch.

I first made this recipe for our library cookbook club. It is inspired by the Bagel Board in the book Stunning Spreads.

This is my original board for the library. It made a ton and we had lots leftover for the next day!

Notes

Recipe from Miss Kay's Duck Commander Kitchen cookbook.

When we lived in Louisiana we loved the show Duck Dynasty and the whole Robertson clan.

This Cajun recipe is from Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen cookbook.

For this recipe you need 2 lbs of peeled crawfish tail meat.

I saved this crawfish from our seafood boil the night before. 

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the 2 boxes of pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

The “holy trinity” in Cajun cuisine is a base of onions, bell peppers and celery.

Add the bell pepper, celery, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes.

I used Duck Commander Cajun Seasoning in this pasta but any other Cajun seasoning like Tony Chachere’s will work too. 

Add the pepper, Cajun seasoning, and parsley.

Add the crawfish and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.

Add the soup, Velveeta, sour cream, Parmesan, pasta, and salt to taste.

Add the cooked pasta to the pot

Stir it all together and heat until everything is hot and the cheeses are melted.

This recipe feeds a crowd- about 10-12 servings!

Crispy, cheesy French bread goes best with rich pasta, right?

Scoop onto plates and serve hot with crusty French bread on the side. 

“Laissez les bons temps rouler.”
“Let the good times roll.”

The post Duck Dynasty Phil’s Cajun Crawfish Fettuccine appeared first on For the Love of Food.

This hearty Cajun appetizer is inspired by a Louisiana restaurant favorite.

Crusty French bread is topped with a delicious blend of crawfish, cheese, and spices and baked until melted and gooey!

When we lived in Louisiana one of our favorite local restaurants was called Luna Bar and Grill in Lake Charles.

One of my favorite meals at Luna was their Ambrosia Style Salad and their 3 Cheese Crawfish Bread.

Since we now live in Missouri I thought I would recreate our favorite dish at home!

My husband requested this bread for his last birthday celebration dinner. It was a huge hit!

My Uncle Mike and I both love cooking and he is one of my biggest inspirations.

Today I am sharing a recipe of his that I love because it always reminds me of my home state, Florida. 

Uncle Mike’s Lump Crab Cakes with Remoulade is one of those meals you talk about months later because it is that good. I was lucky enough to get my Uncle to share his recipe with me and even though they may not have been as pretty good as his when I made them, they are pretty darn close! 

Give them a try and let me know what you think! 

Mike is self taught like me and him and we love cooking together during our holiday gatherings.

 My Uncle and my Aunt Candie are both big Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans.
So, of course, I had to get him a Bucs Chef hat!

I am blessed to have such a wonderful family and my awesome
 Uncle even officiated our wedding 7 years ago!

Scroll down for two of Mike’s best recipes: Crab Cakes and Remoulade dipping sauce.
