Thanksgiving Stuffed Flounder

Cajun French: le plie (lu plee) – flounder

 

Thanksgiving will be our first holiday since we became pescatarians. Not having turkey does not bother us, yet we were trying to decide what to prepare that would make a great presentation. We purchased a 2# flounder from the Anna Marie at the Red Stick Farmers Market and it was a beautiful fish. Stuffing the flounder was fun since as usual it was a building process. Once stuffed, we realized this was the perfect Thanksgiving dish. Now we are hoping that Melissa from the Anna Marie will have another beautiful founder for us to stuff for Thanksgiving.

Crab and Shrimp Persimmon Stacker

Cajun French:   la crabe (la krab) – crab

 

 

While reading about Sandy’s RV search in her blog, Food and Fond Memories, she also talked about having a crab, shrimp and avocado stack from Bahama Breeze.  Ok, my mouth was watering and I wanted a stack.  Fast forward to the Red Stick Farmers Market and my mouth still watering.  We chose items to make our stack local: crab, shrimp, persimmons, and greens.  Thanks Sandy!

Locavore Roasted Corn and Sweet Potato Galette

Cajun French: saler (sa-lā) — salt

 

Choosing to be Locavores makes us very aware of food seasons. Each season has its specialties and none more so than Fall in South Louisiana. Last week we purchased sweet potatoes, garlic, and ears of corn. One morning we had eggs with mushroom and corn. While enjoying breakfast, John stated tomorrow we would fix sweet potato galettes. The recipe below is the new and improved version 2.0, as one of our food testers (Matt, twitter.com/@othermattreed) named it.

Pita Pinto Treat

Cajun French:  goûtailler (goot-a-ee-ā) – snack

 

 

Having a pot of cooked Pinto Beans means thinking of creative ways to use the beans.  We try to have some type of healthy snack in the afternoon so the mind went to work.  We had pita bread, guacamole, goat cheese, tomatoes and green olives – now what to do with them.  We thought about mini pizzas, yet they would be too hard to eat without utensils.  Okay, same concept just cut the pita bread in quarters and single layer.

Mais C’est Bon!

Cajun Salmon Rolls

South Louisiana is always ready for a party!

With St. Patrick’s Day coming so soon after Mardi Gras, you would think we would be tired of parties and parades.  Not so!  Today was the Baton Rouge St. Patrick’s Day Parade and parties abound.  The day started out cool and clear with a georgeous blue sky getting us all ready for partying.  We had been wanting to try this dish, making it with a Cajun twist.  You may say salmon is not Cajun yet Nova Scotia has excellent premium salmon.

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!
