Cajun Porn 2: Zea’s – Day 7

December 16, 2011

I’m running a bit behind on my Cajun Porn 2 series. Rest assured that I have been eating and taking pictures of it all to share with you, but between the holidaying, Christmas shopping, eating and catching up with family and friends, I’ve not had much screen time. Hold on to your seats though as [...]

Cajun Porn 2: Pizza Night – Day 6

December 13, 2011

Day 6 saw us fire up my mom’s wood-fired oven and make homemade pizzas. When I say homemade here, I literally mean homemade. My mom makes the crust, sauces, and toppings from scratch. Nothing out of a packet here except for the cheese. And, when you put all those homemade ingredients together, it’s magic! Then, [...]

Cajun Porn 2: Piggies In A Blanket And Santa – Day 5

December 9, 2011

My girls favorite breakfast when we are in the US is “piggies in a blanket”. These are so yummy, but now that I live in a land without an appreciation for canned dough, these are a treat we only enjoy at Gigi’s house. For those of you in the US, these are super easy to [...]

Cajun Porn 2: Po-boys and Tortilla Soup – Day 4

December 8, 2011

I wait all year for a Louisiana Fried Shrimp Po-boy. This is one of my all time favorite meals, and I’m happy now that the wait is over. Delicious! I ate this shrimp po-boy at Dempsey’s. It was really, really good, and I just love the fresh cut french fries on the side. So much [...]

Cajun Porn 2: Pulled Pork Tostadas – Day 3

December 7, 2011

Day 3 was a day of rest, recovery, and visiting with family, but we still had to eat. No one felt like going out, so we dug out that left over pulled pork and created the Pulled Pork Tostada. While I am a big fan of both Mexican food and barbeque, I had never thought [...]

Game Day – Day 2

December 5, 2011

My usual LSU game routine involves coffee and pancakes as kickoff is usually around 6:30 am on a Sunday Sydney time. However, yesterday I watched the LSU Tigers win the SEC Championship the way it was meant to be, with an ice cold bottle of Abita surrounded by a sea of purple and gold. It [...]

Cajun Porn 2 – Day 1

December 3, 2011

Well, I’m back in Louisiana. After all the fun I had with Cajun Porn last time, I’ve decided to run the series again. For those of you new here, I get a lot of people landing on my blog searching for “Cajun Porn”. I have no idea what they are looking for, but for me, [...]

Four Is The New Forty

November 28, 2011

My two girls are as different as night and day, and never is it more apparent than at bedtime. After the nightly routine of books and cuddles, Grace closes her eyes and actually goes to sleep. That’s right, my youngest child does the most remarkable thing, she goes right to sleep at bedtime. Her big [...]

Slow Cooker Beef Burgundy

November 17, 2011

One of my all time favorite meals is Boeuf Bourguignon or Beef Burgundy. My traditional recipe spends a fair bit of time in the oven, but with 2 active preschoolers, I don’t always have the time to sit home with the oven on. So, recently I decided to try to adapt my recipe to the [...]

6 Weeks

November 15, 2011

As you may remember, I have been alcohol free for the last 6 weeks. No wine. No Martini’s. Not a single solitary drop of anything fun has passed these lips in 6 weeks. Well, I did get a little wild and have a Coke Zero on Melbourne Cup day, but that doesn’t really count. Surprisingly, [...]
