I was going to make this tonight. I had the recipe yesterday and now I can't find it. I have done keyword search and can't find it either. Does anyone have it? Will you please post it if you do. Thank you!

Never mind, I found it. URGGG, that's what happens when I put something in a safe place.

LOL, if you ever need one of Amy's recipes, I have most of them.

I love this recipe! I can't wait until it cools down a bit so I can make a huge pot of it!

Her gumbo recipe is excellent, too!

By Debbie on Friday, September 9, 2005 - 08:39 pm:

Annie, I made it for dh since it is one of his favorites. It was hot as heck here today, but I made it anyway. It was wonderful!

By Conni on Friday, September 9, 2005 - 08:48 pm:

Could someone email me that recipe or post it here? Actually both recipes please...

By Crystal915 on Friday, September 9, 2005 - 09:25 pm:

Conni, I'll post them on the recipe board in a few minutes.

By Crystal915 on Friday, September 9, 2005 - 10:01 pm:

I posted the gumbo, but I forgot I don't have the red beans and rice!! Silly me! Amy never gave it to me because we don't eat beans. Anyway, the gumbo recipe is up!

By Dawnk777 on Friday, September 9, 2005 - 11:02 pm:

Debbie, would you post it for me? I tried searching for it on Momsview, but couldn't find it! Would like to try it once. Amy's chicken gumbo looks really good, too!

By Debbie on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 08:15 am:

I will post the red beans and rice recipe when I get home from ds' baseball game this afternoon.

By Dawnk777 on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 09:21 am:

Cool! Thanks!

By Debbie on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 02:48 pm:

I posted the recipe on the recipe board.

By Conni on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 02:58 pm:

I have a dumb question. OK, a couple of dumb questions... What is kitchen bouquet? What is Gumbo filet? And we use bone-in chicken breast or can you use boneless?

Thanks!

By Crystal915 on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 03:17 pm:

Kitchen Bouquet is a browning gravy stuff, KB.
Gumbo File is a sasafras thickening agent, made by Tony Cachere's. It's a little green shaker, used in gumbos and such. newurl{http://www.neworleansshowcase.com/tc03002.html, Gumbo File}

Not a stupid question at all, I NEVER would have known if Amy hadn't shown me, and pointed out where they were in our commissary! You CAN use boneless, but bone in is cheaper, and helps the flavor. The roux is very important, and the skin from the chicken helps make it.

By Crystal915 on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 03:18 pm:

oops, that last link is Gumbo File

I think the red beans and rice recipe is incomplete. Does anybody know how much rice to put in it, and is that dried kidney beans?

By Debbie on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 03:31 pm:

Sorry, missmudd. We just serve it over rice. and yes the kidney beans are dried. My printer wasn't working when I printed it, so I copied it short hand. I tried to make it as complete as possible.

By Missmudd on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 05:29 pm:

Ok I get it, I live in oregon so I dont know how all these things go together . I like trying new stuff tho. Have gotten pretty good w/ my wok and making mexican food, would like to try more of the gumbo'y type stuff. I know the kitchen bouqet stuff I can get at the store but the creole seasoning my be a bit of a stretch. Maybe at walmart.... HM....

By Crystal915 on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 06:05 pm:

Kris,
You should be able to find it at Walmart, or Trader Joe's if you have one.

By Dawnk777 on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 11:25 pm:

I found creole seasoning at my grocery store in WI. Couldn't find the gumbo thing, though. I have other stores I can go, though. I just happened to be at the grocery store tonight.
