Anyone have a good gumbo recipe?

[Bernadine]

Or any other recipe for any other dinner?  Ugh.  It's my turn to make dinner tonight and I never know what to make.  I hate having to figure out dinner all the time.

Paula's got a good gumbo recipe: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/gumbo-recipe.html

Or, peruse this site - I've been pulling dinner ideas from here over the past few weeks:

I made it this summer. It was fantastic. It wasn't difficult, exactly, just had to be watched/maintained. I found file powder in the ethnic aisle at our grocery store where they keep New Orleans / Cajun / Creole mixes and such. I used a bag of frozen shrimp and a jar of oysters found in front of the fish counter to keep the costs down. I also added fresh cod (it was not expensive for just one filet).

I will also add that my SIL's FIL comes for Christmas Eve every year and makes gumbo using Zatarain's mix and whatever directions / ingredients it says. I always snarf his gumbo up.

These look really good, but now I'm thinking gumbo is out for tonight. I don't have time. Damn.

I make this one often:

I brown the chicken and sausage in a separate pan though, so that the roux doesn't run the risk of any burned bits.
