I just love looking through my l ouisianacookin.com magazine when it first comes in the mail. I dog ear all the pages of recipes that catch my eye and then the next day I will go back over it and really look over the ingredients and cooking instructions. Once that is completed, I decide on which recipes I will try.

Here's what's going into this recipe

This is always a long process for me but one that I truly love. Once, I decide on the recipes, I then try to figure out which day I will add them on my Dinner Menu. It depends on the cook time and my husbands meeting schedule.

Getting it all together

Although, this dish is time consuming, it was well worth the time. This taste is truly Cajun and one that is true to the New Orleans Tradition.

So good!
