Who says you have to wait until Friday to hang loose and go wild? In honor of hump day, I bring you “Wildcard Wednesdays,” a monthly feature that highlights all of my non-chicklity musings and book reviews. Once a month, I’ll post a “wildcard” pick – ranging from hard-boiled thrillers to spooky horror stories to movie and TV reviews.
For my inaugural wildcard pick, I bring you Sassy Southern, Classy Cajun: A Good Times Cookbook by Sylvia Dickey Smith. Inside you’ll find wonderful recipes for:

* Cajun Jambalaya * Cheese Button Casserole * Aunt Annie’s Chicken and Dumplings * Southern Hot Milk Cake * Praline Cookies * Peggy’s Iron Skillet Chocolate Pie * Crawfish Cornbread * Bread Puddin’ * Green Tomato Pie * Crawfish Etouffe * Southern Fried Chicken * Fried Green Tomatos * Tamale Mashed Potatoes * Swamp Dip * Fried Catfish * Sidra Smart’s Sassy Pickles * And much more!
In addition to her culinary skills, this sassy Southern lady is the author of the Sidra Smart Mysteries and A War of Her Own. Read my reviews here and here.
Hey! Thanks for the shout out! Hope folks enjoy some good ole southern/Cajun cooking! If you really want to get into the culture, check out Swamp People on the History channel. We are addicted!
You’re most welcome Sylvia! As you can see, I’m getting some use out of my new cookbook! Jarred did a bangup job on the jumbalaya – YUM-O! I haven’t seen Swamp People, but I’ve heard a lot about it. I’ll check it out! 🙂
You were raised on Southern cooking = why you are so beautiful!
Hurray for Jarred! YUM!
💑👏👍💛💙💜💗💚
