Emeril's King Cake

Please make this bread. It is so good that you will think about it all year and will make another one, and another. The bread part is so tender and not too sweet. The cream cheese filling is creamy and nicely quite sweet. The glaze with beautiful colored sugars on top is so gorgeous. This is one of the best things I have ever made.

I make one change to the recipe: I only put in half the filling and it is still a generous amount.

Roasted Pork Butt

I had never cooked a pork butt before. I love the Cajun seasoning I had on hand, by Penzey's, and this recipe's only flavoring comes from Cajun seasoning, so I thought I'd give it a try. After six hours in a slow oven, a beautiful pot of well-seasoned shreds of pork amounted from the super-easy recipe. I put some chimichurri on it and had it on a hamburger bun and it was like summer time!
