Even though I've never lived in Louisiana, I like to think of myself as an honorary Cajun. I have family in Alexandria and my aunt used to live in Monroe and any chance I get to go to Louisiana I go. I love that state more than my home state and it's mainly because of… Continue reading Chicken Maque Choux

Savory Crawfish Cornbread
Happy Fat Tuesday, y'all. Mardi Gras is here and I'm celebrating like an honorary Cajun, despite living smack-dab in the middle of Oklahoma. I have family from Alexandria and my aunt used to live in Monroe, and my heart and soul belong to Louisiana. It's one of my most favorite places in the world because… Continue reading Savory Crawfish Cornbread
Slow-Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Since joining TikTok in 2020, I've found a handful of homecooks/chefs that I really enjoy watching. They're from all over the US (and world, I might add) and make a slew of different cuisines. I follow a guy in Ohio who makes all of his videos so interesting that I want to cook what he's… Continue reading Slow-Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
I like to try different sauces. I guess you could call me a sauce queen. I have dozens of different sauces stashed in my pantry, fridge, and secondary cabinet. I'm a big fan of sauce that Trader Joe's offers. I'll try anything at least once. So when I saw a jar of Cajun Alfredo the… Continue reading Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
I'm finally getting to the bottom of a horde of recipes I've cooked over the last few weeks. I got backed up for some reason and I'm about to go out of town, so I need to get through most of the horde. I made this recipe for my husband's lunches a few weeks ago… Continue reading Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
When my parents were down here to help us move into our new home, my mom bought two big bags of catfish nuggets. We had planned to do a fish fry one night, but all of the work we had to do on the house bogged us down so we never got around to it.… Continue reading Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Happy Mardi Gras! Every year I try to remember to make some Cajun food for the holiday and every year I forget. Not this year! We went all out this weekend with boudin and King Cake. I even picked up a giant andouille sausage to have for today. I know those aren't the classiest Cajun… Continue reading Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Zesty Winter Pork Stew
It's 2020 but here I am still living in 2019. Since I spent months baking and posting holiday recipes, I'm backed up about a dozen of my normal, everyday meals. I've got salads, dinners, soups and snacks. All of the recipes are just waiting on me to post them so the world can see. Once… Continue reading Zesty Winter Pork Stew

I've been meaning to post this recipe for weeks, but got bogged down by all of the Christmas baking. Now that Christmas is here, and all of the goodies have been made, I guess I can get back to writing up dinner recipes for y'all. This recipe is fantastic for after Christmas. If you're baking… Continue reading Grilled Ham and Mushroom Po’Boy
