Broccoli-Bacon Bisque
This recipe is easy and delicious! You won’t find flour in this bisque but you will find LOTS of flavor! I think the secret to this simple recipe is wonderful homemade chicken stock and a little of my Cajun Seasoning! I also love the beautiful green color… it looks and taste so fresh! Equipment you will need…
Easy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Who says you have to eat soup in a bowl!?! I will take this soup in a pot, in a cup, in a bowl, and maybe in a boot it is so good! If you have been too intimidated to make my Grain-Free Chicken Pot Pie then this soup is for you!! Maybe after you…

Crock Pot Sweet Potato Lasagna
Variety. Some say it is the spice of life. I created this lasagna to add a little variety to my upcoming cookbook. So many times, we cook the SAME ‘OL foods! How many different ways can you eat cauliflower?? I love both spinach and sweet potatoes, but don’t cook with either that much. Sweet potatoes…
Shrimp & Sausage Creole (Stew)
Crawfish are one of my favorite foods! We live a few miles from an awesome restaurant where they serve boiled crawfish new orleans so my husband usually picks up crawfish a few times a month. I normally just peel, devein and cook them in butter. Then I finish them off with my Cajun seasoning and…
Homemade Chicken & Bone Broth
Chicken Stock going into the Freezer! Once you have had homemade stock, you will NEVER buy the canned or carton stuff again!! The bones and tissues of many types of animal may make good bone broth. Bone broth also contains other important nutrients, especially minerals, derived from these tissues. This may make bone broth a…

Three Meat Chili
I have been working on a good chili recipe for a while. There is just something satisfying about all the meat and the Mexican spices, hence the mexican style food in general. I grew up eating Mexican Food Takeout, mostly chili with beans and that was a hard habit to break. Well, I…
Tomato Basil Soup
Who says you can’t have soup in the summer (or when it is May and 90 something degrees outside!) I just love tomatoes and fresh basil I love making Tomato Bail Soup. I usually serve it warm but for tonight, I think I will serve it chilled. I got hooked on La Madeline’s soup when I moved…
Coconut-Chipotle Chicken Stew (DF)
This is one of my favs! It’s quick and it’s tasty, the latter being the most important! This is also a Dairy-Free recipe. I intended to cook this recipe in the crock pot but I still can’t find it from the move so I just started it on top of the stove by…
Roux-less Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
11-9-12 Update: I made this again last night. Delicious as always but I was unable to get the same smoked sausage I normally use so it was lacking that nice smokey flavor. My solution, I added smoked paprika and my Cajun House Seasoning at the end. SO good! Also, be sure to add the pepper…
