all i wanted for christmas was your pots and pans. everyone told my husband that was not a good gift, but i told him thats what i wanted. i love my pots and i am so glad he did not listen to everyone.cooking is alot easier when the food doent stick to the pot.

Ok! Someone had the same challenge (and disappointing surprise) that I had when I prepared a 'Best of the Rest' recipe from the 5th Anniversary Cooking With Paula Magazine Keepsake Edition, CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO. I did everything as indicated, and it looked beautiful and was chunky, but oh-so bland! I was so disappointed, because I prepared it for a ladies meeting, and because I had always had such great results with Paula's recipes, I did not taste it before serving it! Well, it's a good thing, I had laid out some seasonings and spices, because the Gumbo needed them!, and when used, the Gumbo was delicious!!! So - the 'key' is to remember to add your seasonings, file', salt, pepper, etc. (and I'd think you want to make sure to include in the preparation of the roux)!

What did I do wrong. I followed all the directions to a t. It came out really bland. Not near enough flavor. So I have a 1/2 a pan of this stuff and Im trying to figure out how to "fix" it. I definatly like the rice idea. I would definatly reccomend figuring out how to get some more flavor in this pot. Entirely too flat...know what I mean? Try that sausage addition FOR SURE.

I loved this recipe. I didn't use the topping. Just used it as a quick gumbo and served over rice. All my guests loved it and I will definately use it again!. MCarter

This was a super-delicious and very simple dish to make. The only suggestion I would make is to cut back on the okra just a little and possibly add a little smoked sausage. It was a hit with my whole family!
