MexiCajun Chili
Winter has made what is sure to be its last appearance before the heat and humidity settle in for good here in unpredictable Louisiana. This schizophrenic weather is typical, especially for this time of year. And while I know I should be thankful for the mild temps, I am so sick of being chilled ...Reader-Submitted Recipe: MexiCajun Enchiladas
Wow! Readers have started submitting their own recipes using our MexiCajun seasoning, and they are FABulous! (the readers and the recipes) My dear friend Lori R. submitted a picture of her enchiladas and had all of Facebook begging for the recipe! She was kind enough to work out each ingredient and step by step ...MexiCajun Shrimp Fajitas
It all started here. Two and a half years ago I was planning to make shrimp fajitas for dinner. Elbow deep in peeling shrimp and a hot skillet ready to go, I stepped into my pantry to grab the cheap taco mix I typically kept on hand. I was surprised to find there was no cheap taco ...Grilled Stuffed Peppers
I had such a wonderful three day weekend. :D I unplugged and enjoyed every minute of it. There was lots of yard work, some house work and laundry, some cooking, and even a little R&R (relaxation and reading). ;) What did you get up to? Was there a beach in your view? Or a family gathering? Or ...Lemon & Basil Orzo Salad
Last week I hosted a salad party for my mardi gras krewe. It was our first meeting of the new mardi gras year, and we wanted to have an informal meet and greet poolside. Everyone brought her favorite salad and a lawn chair, and we all had a wonderful time welcoming new members and catching up ...Louisiana Crawfish Étouffée
Last weekend we finally decided to have our first batch of crawfish of the season. We had been putting off even though both Spicehubby and I have been craving them. A couple of times we’ve even gone to one of our favorite local restaurants fully intending to get crawfish but then changed our minds at the ...Chicken Balls!
Okay. I know how odd and comic that sounds. An open invitation for inappropriate jokes. BUT this is such a quick, easy and fun weeknight dinner solution since there’s very little prep involved. And because they look fun to eat, it’s a great way to get kids to eat some healthy protein. . Chicken Balls Boneless chicken thighs MexiCajun Seasoning muffin ...MexiCajun Pulled Pork
A few days ago I was watching the Today Show (as I always do), and Ree Drummond (aka the Pioneer Woman) was demonstrating her easy pulled pork recipe using Dr Pepper. “Brilliant! I love Dr Pepper, so this is a no-brainer,” I says to myself. I pulled out of the freezer the last pork roast from ...Easiest & Tastiest Pork Chops You’ll Ever Cook
Seriously. Ever. I debated over whether or not to even do a blog post on this because it’s so easy. But for quick and easy, it’s hard to beat a big, juicy, flavorful grilled pork chop that’s ready in only 20 minutes! Grilled MexiCajun Pork Chop thick-cut pork chop (with or without bone) MexiCajun Seasoning Preheat grill with med-hi fire. Evenly ...Broccoli, Rice & Chicken Casserole
This is one of those dishes that makes me think of growing up in a small, rural Baptist church. Dinner on the grounds, small community where everyone knows everyone and their business (lol), familiar hymns, Sunday afternoon naps, and skinned knees from biking mishaps on our gravel road. Someone was always sure to bring this ...
