I've only been to New Orleans once but I have it on my list to go back. The town is filled with Music, Food, and History. I just love the whole vibe of the town.

Jambalaya!!

The next time I go, I will definitely take a cooking class. Every class I looked into while I was there, was already booked up. Taking a cooking class wasn't on my mind until I actually got to New Orleans. The main reason I was in New Orleans was because my daughter went to Grad School there. And my husband, older daughter and I helped move her from the state of Iowa to the state of Louisiana. If you have never been there, you should put it on your bucket list.

Let's get cooking!

https://www.jocooks.com/ is my original inspiration for my recipe. The best thing about cooking in your own kitchen is that any recipe that you are following, you can make big or small adjustments to make it your own. I know that I say that a lot but, it is so true.

Mixing it all together

I love the aroma in my kitchen when I am fixing dinner or baking up some treats. Cooking for me is so rewarding and such a creative outlet. I just love it. And every time I make this dish, I always remember the feelings and sounds that I heard while in New Orleans. Food can take me back to those memories that my family and I have shared. And that always brings a smile to my face.
