Bloody Mary Brunch

Cajun French: déjeuner (dā-ju-nā) – breakfast

 

 

Okay, so we are not having just Bloody Marys for brunch but they sure make preparing brunch more interesting.

It’s the 4th of July and we were being very lazy just enjoying the morning.  After drinking more coffee than anyone should, it was time to think about food.  Opening the fridge and taking lots of items out, what the heck go for the Bloody Marys.  Now with drink in hand, we decided to fix eggs with everything taken out of the fridge.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Not Your Grandma’s Breakfast

Cajun French:  le pain (lu pain) – bread

 

Breakfast seems to be the meal that can be the most rushed.  Simple, easy to prepare dishes are preferred and often contain leftovers.  Last night we made “Grandma’s Potato Croquettes” (see prior post) updating the recipe using Salmon and Sweet Potatoes — based on one from John’s grandmother where she used white potatoes and fish flakes.  The recipe makes about 12 patties so we had plenty left over.

 

This morning we decided to build a breakfast tower using the croquettes along with all fresh items from the Redstick Farmers Market (except the grapes and bananas) and it was great!  Not only is it easy to prepare and assemble, it makes an elegant presentation.  Grandma would be proud.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Fresh Market Breakfast

At this time of year, the Red Stick Farmers Market is bursting with produce and especially with color. After returning home with our weekly supply of fresh items, we realized we could make a breakfast using all market items, except the parsley from our herb garden. The freshness bursts in your mouth with every bite of this dish.

Mais C’est Bon!

Pinto Beans

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!

Enjoy!!

Taco Soup

This recipe was given to me many years ago by my cousin, Judy Campbell. I am not sure where it came from so I am not sure where the credit goes. I usually change a recipe by adding something, taking away something, etc. This recipe is so easy and taste so great that no change was needed. It truly is as easy as opening cans.

Enjoy!  Mais C’est Bon!!

I made this soup last weekend when we camped at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA with 6 other RVs.

Morning Sunburst

 

Sometimes those culinary accidents just happen when you think, “Oh, I have such and such in the frig which will go well with this.”  For example, we don’t make Party Salad just to make Morning Sunburst, however, in making breakfast one morning, we remembered we had Party Salad left and incorporated it into this recipe.  Now when we have left over Party Salad, we’ll remember the Morning Sunburst.

Enjoy!  Mais C’est Bon!!
