Hi, I've lived in Broadmoor for a very long time and have enjoyed many shared recipes from all my neighbors. I'm originally from Kentucky, where eating and cooking is as close to a religion as it is in Louisiana! I grew up on a farm where we grew all of our vegetables, fruits, and meats. It was always plentiful but not usually low calorie. Of course, we were working very hard in the garden and burned the calories. Problem now, is that I still love to eat good food, but I'm not working out in the fields or garden!! Like most of us, we are trying to get more exercise, and looking at ways to still enjoy good food as we entertain our friends and families.

This is an invitation to all of you to share some of your favorites, healthy or not, so we can all enjoy ourselves. When I moved here 35 years ago, you had to wait for someone to die to find a house on the market and I'm not ready for someone to take over my house in beautiful Broadmoor, so I'm trying for healthy, but with fun and flavor !!

(6/1/08) - Since we are grilling out more now, this recipe is great to have as an appetizer, to go on top of steaks, of as a side dish with any meal. They can be baked inside in the oven or on the grill in a big skillet.

• Mushrooms in Happy Sauce
• Summer Squash

Old Sugar Mill - 5/28/08

I'm just starting to research a story about an old sugar mill that was located on the property between Chateau and Regency Drives. Does the association know either the name of the mill or who owned it? I have calls in to the archives at LSU and Tulane (they have all the sugar records of our state).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This weekend I plan on trying to talk to a couple of the older people in the neighborhood.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to our supporters - Broadmoor UMC and Broadmoor HS

We want to thank the organizations that help to make our association's work possible year in and year out. The Broadmoor United Methodist Church has provided meeting space for us for many years and we very much appreciate there doing so! In 2007, we asked Broadmoor High School to let us use their courtyard for our Annual Junque Sale and they agreed. Thanks to their support, we were able to raise funds in 2007 for beautification projects, and in 2008 for replacing a damaged sign on Goodwood Boulevard.
