Creole Cream Jambalaya

I came up with a creamy version of Jambalaya.  The tradition with Jambalaya is that it doesn't have set ingredients, so for mine I decided to used shrimp and sausage.

The base is very similar to a classic Jambalaya; the difference is that I made a creole-cream sauce and mixed that into the rice before mixing everything together.

Doughnuts

Decided to make homemade Krispy Kreme style doughnuts.

The dough recipe was borrowed from a fellow blogger; it turned out great.  The yeast dough is cut and fried up.

I made plain glazed, bavarian cream filled and cinnamon sugar doughnut holes.

Bavarian Cream recipe:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant pudding mix
• 3/4 cup milk
• 12 ounces whipped cream, from whipping cream

Mix together cream cheese and dry pudding mix. Slowly beat in milk.  Fold in whipped Cream.

I'll definitely be making these again; keep an eye out for the hot doughnut sign outside the house

Avocado Soup

Put together a quick chilled Avocado soup.  Just fresh Avocados with some chicken broth, lime juice and water.

Garnished with creme fraiche, lime zest and habanero Tabasco.
