About this Cook
Chemist turned stay-at-home mom of 4.
My favorite things to cook
All things Cajun!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Seafood gumbo on Christmas day has been a tradition in my family for 4 generations.
My cooking triumphs
Making a better red sauce than my Italian husband!
My cooking tragedies
Realizing a bit too late (after the seafood had been added) that I had scorched the roux for my Christmas seafood gumbo. So disappointing...and a very costly error that I'm now careful not to repeat!

Great-Grandmother Steinbeck's Johnnycake (Cornbread)
Just what I was looking for. Changes made: whole wheat flour, yellow corn meal, and milk soured with lemon juice since I had no buttermilk, cooked in iron skillet. Great texture and good flavor. Thanks.

Black Pepper Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry
Very good and very easy. I cut up 3 chicken breasts and sauteed them in the oil with the garlic. I also doubled the recipe and used 1 red pepper and 1 orange pepper. The sauce was very tasty but a little thinner than I had hoped. I think next time I will cut back on the water. I had no issues needing salt. In fact, next time I will use low sodium soy sauce since I've noticed my fingers are swelling slightly. I will also grate a little ginger in with the cabbage, add some green onion and maybe some shredded carrots, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. I think broccoli would be too strong a flavor to add.

Refried Beans Without the Refry
Super! Also a great, meatless bean recipe to serve with rice or cornbread if you don't cook them quite so long and don't mash them. We loved the flavor and I loved the healthiness of them! I made no changes. Great as is! Thanks!
