| Rotel brand tomatoes and chilies are a very popular staple in Southwest Louisiana. That brand of tomatoes is used in so many Cajun dishes, that many of us just say add the Rotel....To define, Rotel is a 10-ounce can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, packed in its own juice. It is sold as mild in a green can although that version is nicely spicy and two different red cans where you pick your speed of HOT. It is used in recipes, never by itself. If you can't find the Rotel brand just look for a product that has diced tomatoes and green chilies. |

| Ask anyone in Delores's family and they will tell you that her lasagne is the best you can eat! This recipe has been adopted as a favorite in this Cajun's family favorite food list. |
| Cajuns pretty much drink the same types of beverage that most other cultures do. We do like cold beer with our boiled crawfish and crabs, bar-b-ques and boudoin. We do serve Muscadine wine; a unique wine that is a little different.
We love homemade McCormick Root Beer Extract, made without the soda and sweetened with real sugar. We serve it really cold with Sunday dinner roast.
Fresh lemonade is really a treat. Ice tea is a favorite as with other cultures. And sometimes, we just cook our food in what we drink!

| 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!". |
| While this Cajun lady was living in Corpus Christi, Texas I was challenged to cook up a mexican dish with crawfish for a pot luck dinner. This is it;everyone thought it was a winner.
Editor's note - Shrimp could be used instead of crawfish. |
| 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! |

| 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. |
