I come from a "suburb" of New Orleans called Kenner. I lived in a little town called Houma for about 10 years before moving to Nashville, TN. The traditions I have found in southern Louisiana run deeper than some in New Orleans. I am extremely proud of my southern heritage and cooking is a way for me to express that. I love to cook Cajun food of course, but in addition to, I like to cook pretty much anything but desserts. I have very little patience that is required to make some desserts. Perfecting my Gumbo recipe!!!! I tried to cook hamburgers late one night without a pan thinking they would look grilled....yes I am blonde.
