Salt and Vinegar Chips is one of my favorite chips. During my last trips to the grocery store, I picked up a bag. Well I had the bright idea to use the salt and vinegar chips like a panko to fry my shrimp. Yeah that’s what I said, Salt and Vinegar Shrimp.
It’s Fry-Day so we decided to Fry up some shrimp. These poboys were delicious. A twist on our classic shrimp poboys which is very popular back home at this time of year, because it’s Lent Season.

Growing up in Louisiana my family would prepare White beans every Wednesday. This created the white beans Wednesday. My husband grew up the same way and he is always happy when I make this dish for him. I’m not raising my kids that way, but we do love White beans occasionally. One of meat that we love in our White beans is pork tails. I know everyone won’t appreciate this delicious delicacy. But don’t knock it till you try it. 😂😂😋😋

As we were planning out our last trip, I was researching food spots and was shocked to see that there was a new Louisiana style restaurant that just opened in Downtown Disney. This restaurant Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill and Patio. Offering a modern, upscale twist to Creole dishes. This restaurant is serving up Louisiana classics that are elevated! This restaurant stays true to what New Orleans cuisine is all about. Ralph Brennan is the driving force behind this amazing restaurant right in the heart of downtown Disney.
Ralph Brennan is known for many restaurants but most importantly Brennan’s in New Orleans. He has been a driving force in the culinary world for years and years. It’s no surprise that this restaurant is so well done. It’s like being whisk away to French quarter New Orleans as you walk into the courtyard of the restaurant. From the jazz music to the smiling faces welcoming you in, you feel like you’re in New Orleans.

My family and I visited 1929 several months ago. As I was planning my content for the next few weeks, I made sure to add this one to the list. 1929 is the home of the Oxtail Yakamein. What is this you ask, Oxtail Yakamein is a beef noodle soup with creole seasonings.
Being from Louisiana, I have to admit that I had never eaten this until I visited 1929. I only heard about Yakamein when I was watching a Netflix Show called “Street Food”. They shared all about this New Orleans style dish.
My husband has heard of it and had eaten it prior to us dining at 1929. But he went to college in New Orleans and lived and worked in New Orleans for several years.
In addition to Yakamein, 1929 serves several Louisiana classics like red beans and rice, poor boys, seafood and much more.

Most of the pizzas I make will not include a traditional red sauce. Fun fact about me, I have acid reflux so I often avoid tomato based sauces on my pizza.
