[SIZE=36pt]N’awlins saints’ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=36pt]Creole pasta jambalaya & Jacked up muffalata[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]New Orleans football parties are more like feasts than finger foods. I asked all my friends what they were serving for the Superbowl and indeed, everyone was having big time meals on a buffet line. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Pasta has made it’s way into Creole cooking replacing it with rice often these days so to keep up with the pace I’m presenting Pasta Jambalaya. Of course there is nothing more New Orleans for parties than Muffalatas. You will often see them on mini buns these days but I prefer the big loaf and just cutting it down to size.[/SIZE]

No name, just some smoked beef cheek tacos
Houston Texans, BBQ Tex-Mex
Beef Cheeks, White Onion, Jalapeno, Roma Tomatoes, Lime juice, Kosher Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Avacados, Pecan Wood
 
Smoked the cheeks for a little over five hours.  Temps ranged from 225 – 250.  Roasted the tomatoes and jalapeno and blended with the onion for a quick taco truck salsa.   Made a quick guacamole.
