Cajun Food Where You Find It
Summer is the grilling season, yet in Louisiana it is best when the weather is cool and being outside is enjoyable. Such was the case when we were RVing at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA. It was the last cool snap before record heat and we decided to enjoy every minute of the Spring weather. We had fresh vegetables and shrimp from the Red Stick Market in Baton Rouge and we grilled them with just olive oil and seasoning. It was as fresh as the cool breezes!Although Red Beans is a traditional New Orleans Monday Meal, we eat all types of beans and on any day. This week it is Pinto Beans. We cooked these on Sunday and used them all week in various ways from entrees to side dishes. Monday was traditional bean day since Monday was also wash day. It was easy to put a pot of beans simmering on the stove while completing other tasks like washing.
Mais C’est Bon!

This Breakfast Pie is a great alternative to the common camping breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. The pie is easy to make and can be made the day before and refrigerated. The pie is also very adaptable to personal taste. Any ingredients may be added to the basic ingredients of bacon, eggs, onions and pie crust. The pie can become vegetarian by leaving out the meat and adding a variety of vegetables even using leftovers from the night before .
Do not use a pie plate to make this pie. We tried a pie plate the first time we baked it and there was too much crust. The pizza pan gives less crust and more filling.
One pie makes six servings.
Serve the pie with fresh fruit salad.
Enjoy! Mais C’est Bon!!
Breakfast Pie
Port Allen, LA – Laurie and I are fans of farmers markets and the fresh treasures they hold. On our last visit to the Red Stick Farmer’s Market in Baton Rouge, LA, we purchased fresh shrimp direct from the shrimper, carrots from the farmer who grew them, along with parsley and green onions. Using these fresh ingredients along with others we created the following recipe.
