It’s officially Crawfish season. Me like many others, I love when Crawfish season comes around. I want all things Crawfish. One of the easiest things to cook is Crawfish étouffée. I have a few versions of my étouffée. But I took a shortcut with a product from Slap ya Mama called their Cajun Étouffée sauce. These étouffée sauce makes it so easy for anyone to make Crawfish étouffée. I added a few extra things to mine but it’s delicious as is. @slapyamama

I had the honor of collaborating with a company called Fly by Jing. Jing founded Fly By Jing in 2018.

She said that the food at these eateries were so good, they attracted diners like flies. @flybyJing

Our week days can be very busy. I’m often looking for ways to feed my crew quickly. Not to mention in an inexpensive way. Eating fast food isn’t healthy and can be very costly. I love to dine out but I want to spend our money on dining out not jug picking up food to go.

This taco recipe is so easy and very good

It’s hard to believe that Crawfish Season is coming to an end. This Louisiana girl loves Crawfish. Since Crawfish season is coming to a close, I think I will add this to Summer, my Cajun Chicken Boil. Using the same ingredients of a regular boil- potatoes, corn, sausage, onions, seafood boil seasoning- and substituting crawfish for chicken wings, along with a new product from Louisiana Fish Fry, the Cajun Drip Viet-Cajun. The Butter Seasoning Mix is available in a few other flavors such as Chili Crush and Twisted Citrus. This is the perfect boil to kick start your Summer.

Fish Friday is something we have very often. Growing up in Louisiana we ate Fish on Friday every week. When we eat fried fish tartar sauce is a must have condiment. We didn’t have any bottled tartar sauce left from the last time we cooked fried fish. So I decided to make my own with the ingredients I had on hand.

I have a few versions of tartar sauce. This is my easiest one.

A new collaboration means a new recipe. Marukan Vinegar is “rice vinegar that plays an important role by adding bright, tangy notes, adding flavor to any dish, enhancing flavors of other ingredients as well as balancing sweet, salty, fatty and acidic components of a recipe”. Oxtails is a dish we grew up eating. It’s still one of the most requested dishes in our house with my family. Oxtails can be fatty, so I decided to marinate the oxtails in the Marukan Vinegar that has no sodium or sugar. As well as marinate veggies to top the dish with.

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.

We are hunkered down as the arctic blast is passing through. Soup is on deck for sure. We will be warming up with one of my soup creations. I cooked this Chowder a few weeks ago and my family loved it. This chowder was on the table in less than 30 minutes. So good.
