  Just want to apologize to all my loyal followers for my absence. Life has been kickin’ my ass lately.
  
  Work and Life got in the way. I had a death of a family member who was very dear to my heart and who was taken way, way, way to soon before her time, and then a month later I just lost my lil 4 legged companion. He was very loyal and lived a very long life October 1st he made 14 years old and on the 7th he went to doggy heaven to be with his best buddy Busty who passed away 2 years earlier.
  
  Each day life gives us challenges whether BIG or small, good or bad. Most days the good outweighs but the few dark days are so dark that it makes us even feel like we may be being punished for something or that life and the situation is not fair. We have to understand that there is a larger picture we cannot see nor touch, but somehow it has a message, a life lesson hidden to discover. We may have to wait hours, days, months or even years to maybe get an understanding of what that message is. Until then we have to put one foot in front of the other, face the day head on with a smile and know that happiness is around the corner. So NEVER give up on Life it is too precious and way to short not to enjoy!

  I have decided to start a blog to help my family and friends learn how to cook my cajun family recipes. My motivation to start this blog was my mother, who always cooked from sight, as do many great cajun cooks. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and as a result will never again be able to share family recipes. Many people who were blessed to have tasted her dishes called her a great cook. We enjoyed her cooking, but never thought we would face the day that we couldn’t call her for directions to recreate any of the dishes she cooked. Each child having their own personal favorites. I also cook from sight, which creates problems for passing down recipes for future generations. My children, grandchildren and nieces & nephews, are my other motivation for blogging my information. They are basically forcing me to get my recipes out of my head and on to paper. A cookbook is in my future, on the bucket list for my brother and myself., so until it is mastered this will have to do. I will try my best to post many of my passions from Photography, traveling and of course recipes and cooking videos, something to mimic looking over your parent’s shoulder at the stove! I hope you enjoy my blogs and especially my cooking! Bon Appetite!
