Cajunville Bread

Cajun French: le pain (lu pain) – bread

There is something about kneading bread that acts as therapy. For me, it is relaxing and therapeutic – just plain enjoyable. This bread recipe has been developed over time with much testing and adjusting. It is now our go to bread recipe. I use it for all breads adding sweetness where necessary. We do not travel with a mixer so all bread is made by hand. If you use a bread hook or bread machine, you will have to try and decide what works for you.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Cajunville Spinach Madeleine

Cajun French: le “spinach” (lu “spinach”) – spinach

Spinach Madeleine in its original form was a staple on most south Louisiana tables. John’s mother cooked it every Sunday for our family meal. Once Kraft discontinued their log cheese, cooks searched for a replacement. While using many of the same ingredients, we have altered the recipe for our taste.

Natchitoches Meat Pies

Christmas lights and meat pies may not seem like a match. Yet in Natchitoches, LA, they go hand in hand. The only French settlement in north Louisiana has been home to a Christmas Light Tradition since 1927. Long before the Christmas Lights began, street vendors were hawking meat pies in the 1800s. Today there are no street vendors hawking meat pies, yet several restaurants offer meat pies on their menu.

Although Natchitoches did not invent meat pies, the city’s meat pie is the official meat pie of Louisiana. Below is an easy meat pie filling with refrigerator dough used for the crust. Generally one will not find sauce for Natchitoches Meat Pies. The sauce has been added to the recipe and adds an added depth to the meat pie. The meat pie filling is based on the Official Natchitoches Meat Pie Recipe.
