| Note that this recipe is prepared to feed the masses at large family reunions, vendors street fairs, school events, food festivals and politcal gatherings. Kaplan, LA in the year 2005 celebrated its first Cajun Food Festival. All types of fun Cajun foods are served. Make plans to attend in April/May 2006. Dance to many of the great local Cajun Bands including Wayne Toups.
Rice production in Louisiana were greatly affected with the intrusion of salt water from the storm surge during Hurricane Rita. |
| One of the more popular Cajun style soups. Make Nola's Homemade Bread on our site -
Great for the Bird Flu season or anytime comfort food is needed.
for the prefect compliment to this soup. |
| This simple dish was once the everyday "supper" for Cajuns. Served with milk, figs or cane syrup and even (one of my favorites)chopped pork cracklings. It was satisfying and filling. My favorite was eating it with coffee added to my milk (yes coffee milk) and lots of sugar! Repriser cela est bon! |

| A basic sweet dough for preparing tarts that can be filled with fig preserve, blackberries, bouille, coconut cream, pineapple, or sweet potato. The various recipes for the fillings can be found on our website. |
| VERY EASY TO MAKE!! Throw ingredients in an Hitachi (Cajun name for rice/stream cooker regardless of the manufacturer) rice cooker. As one visitor writes - "off the charts!". |
| Truly a CAJUN COUNTRY recipe. This recipe was received from Mae Mae Breaux and very comparable to Aunt Melina Falcon’s recipe. Remember Aunt Melina never used measuring cups…always a handful of this and a pinch of that. Mae Mae watched her for several years and came up with this recipe…we can’t tell the difference and I bet Aunt Melina couldn’t either if she were still with us. |
| Good Ole fashion Shrimp Ettouffe; a No-Soup ettouffe - the kind Grandma use to make. Nanan.....I have arrived!!!! |
| Miss Ollie had been in our household for a long time. She was one of the best cooks around. Our family loved when she prepared this etouffee. |
| As a little girl, I used to sit in my Granny's kitchen in Lafayette and watch her chop the veggies for this fabulous gumbo. It's very filling, and for me, it's the ultimate comfort food. It's made with a lighter roux, and the spice can be adjusted with a little Tony Chachere's |

Rice seems to be the dreaded first dish a new young bride has to learn how to cook. Of course now most brides have an electric rice cooker which takes the guesswork out of cooking rice. Sometimes though the power goes out and you want rice!!No electricity but there is still the gas stove, how am I to cook rice? Read below and remember not to stir while the rice will be cooking.
