Looking Ahead

     Some new cooking magazines were delivered this week and they made great reading while I attempted to avoid the punishing heat we are currently experiencing.  I am eager to try some of their summer recommendations for light and easy cooking.  So I will intersperse the successful recipes among the remaining posts from my culinary research in New Orleans and hope to provide with you with some ideal ways to beat the heat and still have a healthy and hearty meal.
