Jambalaya and Cornbread / White Oak Plantation

September 5, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 12 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to post 4 of my trip to Baton Rouge.  During the evening of our second day we went to the annual Chillin’ and Grillin event held at White Oak Plantation.   The Chillin’ and Grilin event is a buffet-style dinner where you can meet and greet with chefs and designers participating in Dining by Design. The event is sponsored by Fete Partner The Sister Dulce Foundation, Inc. The property at White Oak Plantation is simply beautiful.  It has lakes, lush gardens and even a chicken coop.  Here is a little collage of the grounds at the White Oak Plantation.

Isn’t it beautiful?  The White Oak Plantation would be the perfect place to hold a special occasion event like a wedding or maybe to renew your vows?  hint, hint Husband!   I also met some chefs and I chatted with some wonderful people who worked at the event.  The food at Chillin and Grillin was amazing!! But I bet you are not surprised by that! I had for the first time Hog flings and red snapper. The hog flings was good, but I wasn’t a fan of red snapper. I just starting trying out fish and this one wasn’t for me, at least for right now.

Hog Flings and Red Snapper
So what else is on the menu for this evening? Well I just happen to take a picture of the menu for you. Thank goodness for cameras because I left my menu at the plantation.
Chillin and Grillin Menu
This is a full menu and just wait till you see my dinner plate. But first up on the menu was appetizers.  Everyone had a glass of wine in one hand and a plate of Hog Head Cheese, Cracklins and Boudin Blanc in the other.  I had a couple glasses of wine, but I skipped on the appetizers.  I was saving myself for dinner!!  Not to mention this is part two of Tuesday and Wednesday’s post and as you can see at that point I ate a lot.  he he  So first up on the menu was the Creole Jambalaya.  This was fantastic and exactly what I think of when I think of Louisiana food.  It was delicious!!

The second thing I had was the Okra and Tomatoes. I loved this dish!! I never had okra before, but now I am going to buy some and try it out at home.  I think my family will like it?
Okra and Tomatoes
I also had a heaping plate of the Corn Maque Choux. It kind of reminded me of cream of corn. It was so yummy!!!

I loved the food servers at the event. They were so nice and so forgiving, when all of us bloggers would ask if we can take pictures of the food! However, I have to say this weekend was the first time that I felt really welcomed as a food blogger. I tell people I am a food blogger and they just give me that kind of weird look. But at White Oak Plantation, when they were giving announcements and speeches, they welcomed the food bloggers. I felt really proud at the moment.

Next on the menu was one of my favorite things which was the sweet potato souffle. It was soooooo good! I wanted to go back and get more, but I didn’t, because one I was too lazy to move and second I was holding off for dessert!
Sweet Potato Souffle
Last but not least for the dinner was the Porchetta, which was the hog flings. The meat was tender and delicious and had a wonderful smoked flavor to it.
Porchetta
Ready to see my dinner plate? I didn’t eat everything, but I ate most of it. It was just a beautiful assortment of southern dishes and I just had to try everything!
My dinner plate
I hope your not judging me on my dinner plate. It was sooooo good!! I’ll let you judge me after you see what I had for dessert!
White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce
The dessert was white chocolate bread pudding with whisky sauce. I didn’t have intentions of having dessert, well ok I did, but I only went to get a cup of decafe when a lady whispered, hey come here! It was one of the server ladies and she gave me a HUGE, last piece of white chocolate bread pudding with the sauce dripping all over it. When everyone at my table saw it they all got up to get some and yes they had the bread pudding, but not that sauce over the top. I was a lucky one!!  It was incredible. One thing I noticed on my trip is that I didn’t see a lot of bread on menus unless it’s corn bread or bread pudding, which is probably a good thing for me.  However I have had bread pudding before, but nothing compares to the bread pudding I had in Baton Rouge.  Now these people can make a mean bread pudding that is so moist, so sweet and so out of this world.  I think I gained 5lbs. just thinking of it!!

Here is the White Oak Plantation in the evening, just before we left  had to take a picture because it was just so beautiful.

White Oak Plantation in the Evening
Since I was so inspired by the Southern dishes that I tried, I thought I would re-make one of my favorites which is my Jambalaya, served with Corn Bread.
Jambalya and Cornbread
I originally made this recipe back in January 2012 but the pictures were just horrible!!! You can see them here if you like.  So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to re-make my recipe and serve it with a brand new recipe, which is my cornbread.  The cornbread is moist, light and a little crumbly, just like corn bread should be.  I did at powdered sugar to the mix, but it’s not a sweet corn cornbread.  I save the sweetness for adding a drizzle of honey over the top.  I don’t know if you know this but cornbread isn’t suppose to be sweet, it’s a bread to go with a dinner, so I stuck with the traditional and I am very happy with the outcome.

Cornbread

The Jambalaya tastes amazing! It’s thick, hearty, chunky and perfect for a chilly evening. It will warm and will fill your belly. This recipe is actually one of my family favorites and I get rave reviews from people who have tried this recipe.
Jambalaya
The Jambalaya is made with chicken sausage, shrimp, lots of vegetables and rice. I wasn’t kidding when I said it is hearty. This is a wonderful stew that isn’t overly spicy. However, for me, I add more hot sauce in it when I serve myself a heaping bowl of it. My Husband on the other hand doesn’t care for so much spice, so I made this recipe the way I know he would like.

    I loved all the food, too! Isn’t okra amazing? I could eat it every day! As well as boudin! You’ll have to try Red Snapper again! It’s one of my faves if it is done right! I want to make that white chocolate bread pudding sometime!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
