Jalapeno Chili Cornbread

Most families are officially back at school. For most families this is a very busy time. Busy season can make meal planning hard for some families. Sometimes finding shortcuts makes for easy meal planning and creating meals that are still homecooked. Blue Runner has been around for years. My husband and I both grew up eating Blue Runner beans.

Blue Runner was known back then more for their delicious beans. Blue Runner is known for much more now with their Meal Bases. Now offering options like Shrimp Creole base, Jambalya Base, Crab & Brie Bisque and Homestyle Chili Starter.

I am using the Homestyle Chili starter in today’s recipe.

The Homestyle Chili Starter is hearty, tasty and easy to prepare. The Homestyle Chili Starter taste like you’ve been cooking this chili all day. Packed with tons of flavor. All you do is add your onions, bell pepeprs and ground beef.

The Flats

Visiting Louisiana is always so refreshing for us. The people, the culture is so fun! We miss the friendliness of Louisiana people. Just meeting someone at random and having a big conversation like we’ve been knowing them for years.
There is no place like home. During our last visit we stopped in at a brand new restaurant called The Flats. I stumbled on this restaurant on Instagram. I saved this spot and made sure we had time to stop in for a quick lunch.

1929 Po-boy Kitchen

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.
