Cajun Food Where You Find It

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
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.

I made this soup last weekend when we camped at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA with 6 other RVs.
Tomato Vodka Cream Sauce
In skillet place one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil, sauté ½ onion finely chopped until translucent. To a medium high fire add ½ cup Vodka. Allow it to flame and burn itself out. Add 2 medium tomatoes which have been seeded and cut into small chunks. Cook until soft. Add ½ cup of heavy cream, ½ teaspoon cornstarch mixed with a little water, and salt to taste. Cook on medium low heat until cooked (3-5 minutes).

Philosophy
Why did we put these ingredients together? As you look over recipes we post here, you need to keep in mind why we choose to put together the ingredients for a particular dish. Usually it’s because we either found them fresh at the Farmers Market, or to make them Cajun. Let’s take a look at this fig recipe.
The bread we used is something we found from our local Farmer’s Market, it could have been almost any fresh specialty bread found locally. Continue reading “Honeyed Figs with Andouille”
Our favorite farmers market is the Red Stick Farmers Market in downtown Baton Rouge, LA. Local fresh produce, meats, cheese, eggs, and other products are available year round. At a recent visit we purchased a chicken, bag of sweet onions, red sweet peppers along with other items. Once home we decided to use our purchases to make Chicken Salad. This salad can also be made using leftover chicken.

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.

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.
