In South Louisiana there are plenty of Nanan’ (Cajun french for Marraine (godmother) and of course the Paran (godfather). The girl godchild is called “filleile” and the boy is called the “filleul’. My filleile loves to prepare this easy dish for her children.

One visitor commented - "I always add a little black pepper and a little ground mustard to my cheese sauce. That’s the way my Momma always made it."
