Alright, well, I can't help, but see that you got a pan here
1:15
and you got some butter.
1:17
- Hi Paula, I know you find this hard to believe,
1:19
but take one stick of butter
1:20
and put it in the pan and melt it.
1:22
- See I'm not the only one that uses butter.
1:24
- Then we're gonna saute the onions and the mushrooms.
1:27
- Okay.
1:28
- Why don't you cut these mushrooms up.
1:30
- Okay. Oh, now how many do you want?
1:33
Do you want half a cup, a cup or
1:36
- Let's do a cup.
1:37
- Okay.
1:38
- I got a small onion, we're gonna saute those.
1:41
- Okay.
1:42
This sounds good good good.
1:45
- Oh, it's delicious.
1:46
And then the crab.
1:48
- Okay.
1:48
- And then we'll put them in little ramekin
1:50
and use a puff pastry for the grass.
1:53
- Okay. I love puff pastry.
1:56
- Oh, you can do anything with puff pastry.
1:59
- Yeah. Okie doke.
2:00
- We'll get one and a half cups of milk, we're gonna add.
2:03
Now I'm gonna make the, the stock.
2:07
I'm gonna add some, a fourth of a cup of sherry
2:10
- Okay.
2:11
- To a fourth of a cup of clam juice.
2:13
- Okay. So we'll have a half a cup of liquid there,
2:16
all total.
2:17
- Right.
2:18
- I'm gonna go ahead and just salt and pepper my mushrooms
2:22
and onions a little bit, I hope that's all right.
2:25
- There you go.
2:27
- I'm under the watchful eye
2:29
of the (indistinct) today y'all.
2:33
I don't want to get scolded and sent out of the kitchen
2:36
(laughs)
2:39
These look delicious, Michael.
2:42
So let me measure out my flour.
2:45
I need to add two tablespoons of flour
2:48
- Good
2:48
- And that's gonna tighten up all his ingredients.
2:51
(soft music)
2:54
All right.
2:55
So I'm just gonna stir that around and air
2:57
and coat all of them with your flour.
3:00
Yum. This looks delicious.
3:02
I like the fact that you don't skimp on the butter.
3:05
- Yeah.
3:06
Alright. You want to add your cream now? Your milk?
3:09
- Yup.
3:10
- Okie doke
3:12
Yum.
3:13
- Hmm.
3:14
- This is gonna be so rich and delicious y'all
3:18
It's gonna be kind of like Michael.
3:21
(both laugh)
3:25
All right.
3:26
- Here Is the clam juice and sherry.
3:28
- Okay.
3:29
So I'm gonna let this come back to bowl.
3:32
If you will stir this, Michael
3:34
- I'll do it.
3:35
- I'll come down here and start getting your,
3:37
your puff pastry ready.
3:39
Now, puff pastry comes in sheets.
3:42
So you want to let that sit down on your counter
3:45
for about 20 minutes,
3:47
just long enough for you to be able to unfold it.
3:50
And we're gonna cook these in these cute little bowls
3:56
that Michael's gotten out.
3:58
And so I need some crust that will fit his bowls.
4:02
And I think this one will do nicely.
4:05
- Yeah. You can just cut it with a little bit larger bowl.
4:07
- Yeah.
4:08
(soft music)
4:10
- Look at that.
4:13
It's working like a charm.
4:16
And we're gonna get four of those out of there, Michael.
4:19
And what do you want me to do with the star?
4:22
- You just punch in the middle to leave a vent over there.
4:25
- Oh, okay. I got ya.
4:28
- There you go.
4:29
- I got ya.
4:31
Go Grover.
4:33
Okie doke.
4:34
And I see got an egg over here.
4:37
- Aha
4:38
- So I'm assuming you want me to beat this up
4:44
and use it to do the egg wash.
4:46
- Right.
4:47
- And some people will just use the whites,
4:50
But I've just beat up the whole egg.
4:55
And I'm gonna go ahead and just brush it right now.
5:01
(upbeat music)
5:07
So Michael, I got these prepped and ready for us.
5:10
- Okie doke
5:10
- Do you need some more flour.
5:11
- Let's let it boil first and see if it thickens up.
5:14
- Yeah.
5:15
- Before we add any more flour.
5:17
- Yeah, Thick it has pretty thick enough.
5:21
Hmm.
5:24
Boy, added the sherry.
5:26
The Sherry taste is really strong in there, Michael
5:29
- It does give it a good flavor.
5:31
- And a lot of people expect it.
5:32
- Aha.
5:34
- Alright. So let's add in our frozen peas.
5:36
it's just a cup of thawed peas.
5:39
Now we're not gonna wanna stir this too much, y'all.
5:42
I'm put it in the crabs so we don't want
5:44
to tear up Michael's crab.
5:46
And we're using a half a cup of lump crab meat
5:49
- Put all of crab meat in, you don't want to break it off
5:51
- Right, don't wanna break it up.
5:53
Okay, Mikey, this looks perfect.
5:56
Let's bring this down here.
5:58
- Okay.
5:59
- And if you'll bring that pan up here closer to us,
6:01
- I'll do it.
6:03
- And I'm just gonna fill these up.
6:07
In fact now actually trade places with you, Michael.
6:10
- Aha
6:11
- And I'll start putting the tops on for ya.
6:12
- That will work.
6:14
- How's that?
6:15
- Sounds good to me

- Good.
6:37
(upbeat music)
6:41
And now we'd cook up at 350 Paula,
6:43
for 20 to 25 minutes.
6:46
- Okie doke. I'm ready.
6:47
- Are you ready?
6:48

7:19

7:37
And we'll be right back after the break.
7:42
(upbeat music)
7:44
Y'all, I'm in here with Michael
7:46
and I'm having such a good time today
7:48
- Me too
7:49
- Tell them what's going on, in case they just tuned in.
7:52
We're going for a boat ride.
7:53
We're making the crawfish fettuccine
7:55
and we're gonna have a picnic on the boat.
7:57
- Yes. And you can't make a Louisiana dish
8:01
without having the trinity y'all.
8:03
So that's a cup of celery.
8:06
Michael's got one green bell pepper, one onion
8:10
that he's dicing up.
8:11
And now I'm gonna take three cloves of garlic.
8:14
And I'm gonna saute this all off y'all
8:18
in two sticks of butter.
8:20
- No.
8:21
- Yes.
8:21
(Michael laughs)
8:22
Yes, I am
8:25
All right.
8:26
Michael, I'm gonna help you by getting a piece
8:28
of your bell pepper.
8:30
- Okay.
8:31
- And (indistinct) that Michael made for us in the oven
8:36
and they're baking away.
8:39
Yum.
8:42
So I'm gonna go ahead
8:44
and put in your little bit of bell pepper
8:47
- Okay.
8:48
- That I chopped up for you and the celery and the garlic
8:52
and your onions.
8:54
- Okay.
8:55
- Let me find a little paddle.
8:57
- There you go.
8:58
- This is gonna be so, so good Michael.
9:01
All right, so we can let the saute off y'all.
9:03
- I love the smell.
9:05
- Yes, it does smell good. - The trinity
9:07
- Oh yes.
9:08
There's nothing like trinity cooking.
9:10
- Aha.
9:11
- You want me to just cook your trinity
9:12
until it's kind of tender.
9:14
So look at all that butter in there y'all.
9:17
Yum yum yum.
9:21
All right, Michael, if you would pick up that bowl
9:24
of crawfish tails,
9:26
Now, y'all you find these in the freezer section
9:29
at your grocery store.
9:30
Because it would be hard hard for me
9:32
to find fresh crawfish around here.
9:36
but that's two pounds worth of thawed crawfish tails.
9:40
So this is gonna have a lot in it.
9:43
And Michael has a can of cream of mushroom soup,
9:47
eight ounce package of processed American cheese
9:50
with jalapenos y'all.
9:53
Alright, so Michael, you wanna put me a couple
9:56
of tablespoons of flour in there.
9:59
- I'll do it.
10:00
- This is gonna tighten it up
10:02
and I'm gonna add one teaspoon of Cajun seasoning.
10:08
So here we go.
10:10
And again, you want to incorporate that flour real good.
10:14
Cause if you don't
10:15
it could lump in clump
10:17
- Aha
10:18
- and we want a smooth, smooth sauce.
10:21
Okie dokie.
10:22
All right, Michael, you can add your cream of mushroom soup
10:27
- I'll do it.
10:28
- And I'm gonna be right here measuring us one cup of milk.
10:31
- Okay?
10:33
That's a good deal.
10:34
- Okay. If you'll stir
10:37
- You got a steady stir, right?
10:38
- Yeah.
10:39
You just want to keep all that incorporated
10:42
so that you have a real smooth sauce.
10:46
Look at that, Michael.
10:50
Alright.
10:50
We can switch jobs again and you can bring in your cheese.
10:54
- Okay.
10:55
And I'll get this stirred for ya.
10:58
(upbeat music)
10:59
We're a team right?
11:01
- We're a good team too.
11:01
- Yes, we are.
11:03
Great time of day.
11:05
- It looks so good.
11:06
- Doesn't it looked good.
11:07
I want to incorporate all that butter.
11:10
- Aha
11:11
- Listen to that stuff sizzling
11:12
Yum.
11:14
And the cheese is starting to melt chow.
11:17
Oh righty
11:17
- I taste it.
11:19
- Yes taste it.
11:22
This is so thick and so rich, Michael.
11:25
- I'm gonna add, - Hmm
11:26
- Do you like it?
11:28
- Delicious.
11:29
- Yay.
11:30
I'm gonna add just a little bit more milk.
11:33
Okay.
11:34
- Okay.
11:35
- Look how beautiful this sauce is, isn't that beautiful.
11:40
And you might want to make a note that I added
11:42
like another half a cup of milk.
11:45
All right, honey Bunny,
11:47
- Ready? - Let me taste this.
11:48
- Well, I want to just taste it
11:49
and make sure we've got our seasonings in.
11:55
(Paula laughs)
11:58
- Ready?
12:01
- Hmm. Hmm.
12:03
And look at those crawfish. They make it so beautiful.
12:06
Now I just want to fold those into that sauce
12:11
Isn't the color beautiful?
12:14
- Great.
12:15
- Yes.
12:16
The color it's just like a bright reddish orange.
12:20
They're beautiful.
12:21
- You want to try it?
12:22
- Yes.
12:23
We got to make sure that this is right.
12:26
(upbeat music)
12:30
- Fair enough.
12:32
- Yes.
12:35
It's delicious.
12:38
You just laid (indistinct) here, Mikey
12:41
- Good.
12:42
- Yes.
12:44
So let's come down here and taste it.
12:47
(upbeat music)
12:52
I think they're gonna love this.
12:55
Little Jack would love your sweetening.
12:57
You like it?
12:59
- Delicious
13:01
(upbeat music)
13:04
- Hmm.
13:07
Isn't it yummy?
13:08

(both laugh)
13:20
Coming up next.
13:21
It's rich and creamy chocolate cheesecake bars.
13:24
This is not gonna mess my diet, is it?
13:26
No, Honey, No.
13:29
And later a refreshing raspberry ginger ale punch
13:33
- Delicious.
13:37
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
13:39
and I want to hear from you.
13:41
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
13:43
make by just leaving a short comment below.
13:47
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
13:51
(upbeat music)
13:53
- So sweets for the sweets, you're ready?
13:55
- I'm ready.
13:56
Well, get your little self down here.
13:59
Oh, your pot pies.
14:00
- Look what I got.
14:02
- Oh my goodness, Michael.
14:04
- Doesn't that look delicious?
14:05
- Those look like donuts laying up there, y'all, don't they?
14:09
- Don't they look delicious?
14:10
- Yes, It looks just like donuts.
14:12
- All righty.
14:13
- Yes, Set them right there.
14:15
- Y'all.
14:16
- Hmm hmm hmm
14:17
They look delicious.
14:19
Well, that's hot, hot, hot.
14:22
So don't burn yourself.
14:23
So why don't you skip on down here?
14:26
- I'll do it.
14:27
- Because I'm gonna share one of my recipes with you.
14:31
Okay.
14:32
- Okay.
14:33
All right.
14:33
Now you're gonna be able to go on foodnetwork.com
14:37
and get the crust part of the recipe,
14:39
but it's nothing but like a wafer cookie butter
14:42
and macadamia nuts.
14:44
So it's real simple.
14:45
Just go to foodnetwork.com.
14:47
Now I've got a feeling that we're gonna pour over our crust
14:51
It's two eight ounce packages of cream cheese,
14:55
three quarters of an eight ounce container of sour cream.
14:59
So I'm gonna go ahead and add the sour cream to it, Michael.
15:03
And like I said we need
15:04
about three quarters of the container.
15:08
- Aha.
15:09
- And then we're gonna add three fourths of cup of sugar
15:14
and you can just cream, away Sweetie.
15:17
So that's a quarter of a cup, a half a cup,
15:21
and we've got some chocolate
15:22
- That's not gonna mess my diet up, is it?
15:24
- No, Honey no.
15:27
You see, we didn't use but three quarters of a cup of sugar.
15:32
Alright.
15:34
I'm gonna crack our eggs, one at the time
15:41
and you can just beat those right in.
15:45
(mixer rolling)
15:50
- We're doing four of my favorite things today.
15:53
- What?
15:54
- Being with you, cooking, eating, and going out on a boat.
15:58
(Paula laughs)
16:00
- That is four of your favorite thing.
16:02
- Yeah.
16:03
- Well, I know for sure, it's three of your favorite things.
16:06
(Michael laughs)
16:07
- You know, you're saying things that a girl loves to hear.
16:11
All right now, while you're beating that,
16:13
I'm just gonna run my spatula around
16:16
to get that cream cheese down.
16:18
- Ah.
16:19
- See how much was stuck on the edge
16:21
- Alright
16:22
- and we want all that beaten up real, real smooth.
16:26
Alright. That's good, Michael.
16:29
So I'm gonna come around here and get our crust
16:32
and you can see we've lined our 13 by nine by two pan
16:36
and tin fall and they'll come out easily.
16:39
- Aha.
16:40
- All right.
16:41
So we'll just pour this onto our crust
16:44
I'd love to hear the story that you tell about
16:46
when you and Hank played football
16:49
- Aha.
16:50
- And on Hank's way home from practice.
16:53
You knew your mother was going
16:54
to have separating you and stop
16:56
and Hank would get a dozen donuts.
16:59
- I'd get a half a dozen
17:00
- And you'd get a half dozen even on the way home
17:04
And then we'd go buy another place
17:06
and get five hamburgers each.
17:09
So we did have dozen or half dozen donuts
17:11
or five hamburgers each to come home
17:13
and pretend like we hadn't eaten.
17:15
(Paula laughs)
17:16
That's how I got so slim.
17:18
That's how I built this foundation.
17:20
- Alrighty.
17:21
(Paula laughs)
17:24
We're gonna put this in the oven y'all,
17:26
300 degrees preheated and we're gonna bake it
17:29
for about 40 minutes.
17:31
Now I'm just gonna reach in here
17:34
and grab me out some chocolate chips.
17:36
I'm not gonna measure, so.
17:38
You know, it depends on, I mean chocolate chips you like,
17:42
but it's funny
17:43
when Michael and I make chocolate chip cookies,
17:46
we'll put very few chocolate chips in it
17:49
'cause we like the cookies better
17:51
than we do the chocolate chips.
17:54
- Go figure it - You ready?
17:55
- Yes.
17:56
Bake those for 40 minutes at 300 degrees.
17:59
And when we come back, Michael we'll taste those
18:03
and we got to take a little something to drink.
18:06
So I'm gonna be making us a nice raspberry punch.
18:10
- Good.
18:11
- Coming up next, the perfect refreshment
18:14
to top off our picnic
18:15
- And pretty.
18:17
- And pretty.

18:39
- So to wash down all these dishes,
18:42
these wonderful recipes that we're taking to the boat.
18:45
I thought we could make a little punch, Michael.
18:47
Raspberry ginger ale punch.
18:51
We're gonna use a two liter bottle of raspberry ginger ale.
18:55
- Okay.
18:57
And I'm just gonna pour that or you can help me pour it
18:59
into the punch bowl
19:02
and I've got some canned pineapple juice.
19:06
I'm gonna add two cups of that.
19:09
And in front of you, Michael,
19:10
you have a can of frozen limeade
19:14
If you wouldn't measure out one cup
19:17
- and has been thawed out
19:18
- Yes. If you'd measure out one cup
19:21
- Okay.
19:21
- of that
19:23
And then I'm gonna slice some, some lemon
19:27
and we're just gonna drop that down into our punch bowl.
19:33
Let those float around in there.
19:36
And that looks pretty good, doesn't it?
19:38
- The guy's gonna love this.
19:39
- You think
19:41
(Paula laughs)
19:42
- You're being smart, Michael.
19:44
(Michael laughs)
19:45
All right.
19:46
You want to ladle and sup a little sample.
19:48
- I will.
19:50
- If you'd just kind of stir all those ingredients together.
19:52
There you go.
19:54
(upbeat music)
19:59
- Wow, perfect.
20:00
- It's pretty, isn't it?
20:01
- Yeah. That's what I was saying.
20:02
These guys are gonna love this
20:03

20:07
- Those big rough tough guys.
20:09
- They gonna say how pretty
20:10

20:17

20:29

20:31
- Where are they?
20:32
- It's right here.
20:33
- Let's try them.
20:35
- Yeah. I sprinkled the macadamia nuts on top.
20:38
- Yeah.
20:39
- What do you think if we just kind of go?
20:41
- Yeah.
20:42
They'll never know, we have secret.
20:44
- They will never miss the hand.
20:47
- Yeah. I'll show you.
20:49
All right. Mike here.
20:51
And when I go do it up like this
20:55
You
20:56

20:58

20:59
