Pastitsio

February 16, 2023 By Carine Clary 4 Comments

Classic Greek Pastitsio for anyone who wants a meaty layered casserole with a savory twist. The meat can be ground beef or lamb (with an addition of pork for flavor and juiciness) and it’s cooked with onions, garlic, oregano, and a pinch of cinnamon. Add a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, some red balsamic vinegar, pour…

Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich

August 18, 2022 By Carine Clary Leave a Comment

Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich. What is this exactly? It’s grilled and it’s got cheese but that’s where the similarity to the old diner style grilled cheese ends. Grilled in olive oil and stuffed with your choice of cotto salami, prosciutto, or both with a meltingly soft slab of fontina and you’re ready to bite in…

Slugburger

Slugburger

June 19, 2022 By Carine Clary 4 Comments

Slugburger! Ok, the first thing to establish is the meaning of ‘slug.’ No relation to slimy members of the phylum Mollusca. This delicious burger was ginned up during the Great Depression when it sold for a slug, aka, a nickel. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way let’s get on with the prep of…

About Me

Hello, I'm Carine Clary and I'm the FrangloSaxon.

And is that a word? In a word - Yes! It reflects my French connections in the south part of the state and the Anglo Saxon ones on the Arkansas state line. I grew up eating & loving all the foods of Louisiana and the idea is to collect lots of them right here on this website.

What you'll find here is food that reflects everybody's cooking. Creole we know. Cajun we know. But how about Croatian or Vietnamese....or Italian or German....or the underestimated plain Southern food they do so well in the upstate parishes?

They're all part of who we are so pull up your chair and join me for some good eats!

Mussolini Sandwich

Back in pre World War II days it was actually possible to find restaurants in New Orleans which served something called the Mussolini Sandwich. The History Say what?? It is true and I have the ad to prove it. I thought it would be fun to recreate but needless to say there is no record…

Chicken Mull

Chicken Mull is the old name for Stewed Chicken in milk. It’s also sometimes called Jallop.  This is a cold weather, church supper dish that has spread from its Georgia Carolina origins and now pops up in a few other spots. If you want your kids to come home on their college breaks, make sure…

Vietnamese Cucumber Salad

A Vietnamese cucumber salad that looks elegant and tastes really good. For some reason I’ve found that the dressing tastes better after it’s had a chance to set a spell, so if you have the time you should make it a day ahead or at least a couple of hours ahead but don’t add it…

Christopher Sandwich

For everyone coming off the post-July 4th carnivorous barbequed everything high, let me present the Christopher Sandwich. Almost vegetarian (except for the bacon) it’s both filling and light. The avocado and cheese stick to your ribs while the tomato, onion, olives, pickles, and mushrooms add interest and a salty tang.  And then there are the…

Turkey Poulette

Back in the eighties they made a TV movie about a post-apocalyptic world. They called it “The Day After” and anyone who’s surveyed their house, and especially their kitchen, the day after Thanksgiving has lived it. You think you’ll never eat again but by the next afternoon familiar hunger pangs kick in and you’re headed…
