Cajun Food Where You Find It
Cajun French: la feve (la fev) – bean
Walking into Let It Grow in Cortez, CO a combination coffee house, plant nursery, market and café, we saw a large display of dried beans. Always attracted to beans of every type, we headed over and were amazed with the variety and names. Colorado River, Zuni Gold, Mortgage Lifter, Anasazi, Pinkeye and Cranberry were just a few of the beans available. Continue reading “Colorado River Bean Salad”
Realizing we are eating too much animal fat, we decided to take action. Our reason is based on health concerns only. We are not becoming Vegans nor or we becoming total Vegetarians. We will continue to eat fish and seafood as well as eggs. This action is not set in concrete, so while we will post mostly meatless meals, you may find meat related products at times.
Use any beans you have available. I use whatever beans I cook for the week.
These burgers are great for any meal as well as snacks.
Mais C’est Bon! Enjoy!!
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.

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.
