Kris is always changing this recipe around, and making the salad a bit different everytime, but I will give you the main ingredients and let you play around with it as you like. Note: this salad is seriously so good that I could eat it EVERY night!

Ingredients:
>1 cup flour
>2/3 cup vegetable oil
>1/2 cup chopped onion
>1/2 cup chopped green pepper
>1 1/2 stalks celery, diced
>2 cloves garlic, minced
>2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
>6 cups water
>1 pkg. smoked sausage (hot or original)
>Salt & Pepper to taste
>1 bag frozen sliced okra (optional)
>Cajun Seasoning to taste
>Additional Seasonings: chili powder, chipotle seasoning, File Seasoning, Cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, couple shakes hot sauce, garlic powder, season salt & Paprika>Hot Cooked Rice - about 6-8 servings worth

Directions:
Prepare okra first *if using* - add about an inch of oil to a skillet or pan and fry okra to remove filmy taste. Only a couple of minutes. Remove from pan to cool and drain. Set aside

In a large saucepan, combine the flour and oil and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes or until mixture is caramel-colored. Stir constantly to keep from burning.

Add onion, green pepper, celery, garlic and okra to the rue. Cook 5 minutes. Add chicken, sausage, water and seasonings to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer about one hour or until chicken is done and no longer pink. Ladle gumbo over rice and serve with a bakery roll.

Ingredients:
>2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
>1 1/3 lb. ground turkey breast
>1/2 red onion, chopped
>1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
>1 tbsp grill seasoning
>2 tbsp brown sugar
>1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
>1 cup tomato sauce
>Pkg Hamburger buns or Crusty Rolls

Directions:
Place a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and turkey, crumbling the meat as it cooks with your spoon.

Add onion and red bell pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine grill seasoning, brown sugar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Pour Special sauce evenly over browning meat and veggies.

Stir well together. Turn heat down and simmer 10 minutes.
Pile on buns and serve!

Ingredients:
*6-8 Green Bell Peppers
*1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
*1 onion, chopped
*1 lb. hamburger meat
*1 Tbsp. Worchestershire Sauce
*1 box Uncle Ben's Roasted Garlic Wild Rice
*Salt & Pepper to taste


Directions:
1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2)Start the Wild Rice according to pkg directions.

3) In a skillet on the stovetop, brown hamburger meat with chopped onions. Salt & pepper to taste. I like to add a shake or two of crushed red pepper flakes as well.

4) While meat is browning, and rice is cooking, prepare the peppers. Carefully slice off the tops of each pepper, and discard the inside membranes and seeds. Set in a baking pan. Drizzle each pepper insides with a little olive oil. Salt & Pepper each.

5) Once the meat is brown and the onions tender, add the tomato sauce, Worchestershire and rice. Combine well and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

6) Fill each pepper with the hamburger/rice mixture until it has all been used up.

7) Bake for 15-20 minutes in your preheated oven until peppers are tender.

Serves 6-7
