Cajun Potato Salad

June 14, 2019 by Debbie 4 Comments

This Cajun Potato Salad is full of spice and isn’t just sprinkled with Cajun Seasoning . I have lived in Southwest Louisiana my entire life and our culture revolves around fabulous food. When any event is planned the meal is planned before the other details are worked out. Even though my family’s heritage is not of French Canadian descent I have been around Cajun cooking my entire life . Most Cajun dishes are cooked with a little of dis and dat and sprinkled with love. These potatoes soak up all the yummy goodness and spices . These is most defiantly sprinkled with love!!

Summer Cookout Side Dishes

May 17, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

It is only mid May but summer is here in south Louisiana. The temperatures have been in the 90’s for a few weeks so ready or not it is here. Summer weather means throwing some meat on the barbeque pit and everyone sitting outside soaking up some vitamin D. While the meat is the main attraction let’s not forget the yummy sides. What would a cookout be without baked beans , some sort of salad or a cool creamy dessert? These are four of my favorite sides, at least one of this dishes make it to our cookouts no matter what.

Zesty Pasta Salad Supreme

The weather in southern Louisiana has been on 70’s and beautiful! This time of year on the weekends we are either boiling crawfish or barbecuing. We use any excuse to sit outside and soak in the weather , this past weekend was no exception. This zesty pasta salad supreme is one of my all time favorite salads. Seriously, I will usually hide the leftovers in the fridge so I can nibble on it for a few days all by myself. This is one of those salads I never grow tired of and make it several times a year.

Strawberry Lemon Coleslaw

What do most of you do when you are sitting in the waiting room of the doctor’s office? Scroll on your cell phone totally engrossed in Pinterest or reading funny meme’s on Facebook, yeah me too . Not all that long ago we didn’t have smartphones and if you didn’t want to stare at the walls reading the magazines on the tables was your option. When I was pregnant with my youngest child I came across a recipe in a magazine for a interesting coleslaw that had strawberries. Since I was a nice girl and didn’t rip the recipe out of the magazine all I had was my memory. I could remember strawberries , raisins and lemon juice, the rest I was on my own. So over the past 14 years and making this many many times I have tweaked this recipe and now this is the perfect Strawberry Lemon Coleslaw.
