Gumbo!!! It’s officially gumbo season in Louisiana! Although I make it all year round. What else is air conditioning for? We love our gumbo! We all make ours a little different and that’s ok. Just don’t put corn in it and we’re fine. We’re very particular about how it’s made. Ask Disney. Hehehe…anyway, here’s my…
Louisiana Favorites
Dirty Rice
If you’ve ever attended any event in the South, you’ve had this dish. Birthday parties, family reunions, bbqs, heck even at some weddings, you’re bound to see a pan of dirty rice included in the spread. It’s just apart of our menu. And for good reason! It goes with pretty much anything! Potato salad and…
Yakamein
Here’s my take on a New Orleans original!! Good Ole Sober!! Cures you from that wild night of fun on Bourbon Street. Now, this Creole/Asian dish was meant to utilize readily available ingredients. So, leftover cooked meats are welcomed. To those not familiar with Yakamein, this soup can look a little scary! But, trust me, once you…
Crawfish Mac and Cheese
Lobster mac and cheese is delightful. But, here in Louisiana, crawfish is king, baby! I wanted to show you how I make easy, quick, and cheap mac and cheese! But, crawfish were on sale at the store, so ding, ding…crawfish mac and cheese! Watch me tease you…. Easy right? It’s completely sinful, but God…
Bourbon Chicken Wings
Okay, do yourself a huge favor. MAKE THESE WINGS! They are sweet, savory, spicy…Honey, they’re just EVERYTHING! This is my take on Bourbon Chicken sauce. It’s called “Bourbon Chicken”, because it was created on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. You can add Bourbon if you like. I don’t. Doesn’t even need it! Watch me whip…

Praline Fudge Brownies
Happy Saturday!! I have something sweet AND chocolate for ya! Praline Fudge Brownies!! The brownies in the picture are homemade, but Duncan Hines wouldn’t mind helping out either.

Crawfish Étouffée (Beginner Friendly Version)
Coooookies! Let’s talk Crawfish Étouffée. Étouffée simply means “smothered or suffocated”. And that’s all you’re doing to the veggies in this dish! But I have some beginner Cookies that freak out when I mention making a roux lol So, I won’t share my homemade version just yet. I will do a video tutorial on making…
