Cajun Food Where You Find It
Cajun French: la pomme (la pom) – apple
Bringing dessert to a dinner party and looking for something different – why not an apple tart. Not just any apple tart; one made in a cast iron griddle. It is easy, quick, and makes a great presentation. We added a Cajun flair by using a blood orange marmalade glaze.

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.

Although the “Mighty Mississippi” has taken front and center lately, there have been other important events in our lives. This week was our wedding anniversary and John fixed a gourmet breakfast for us to celebrate.
This Shrimp Omelet topped with Dill Sauce and Shrimp was a perfect way to start a special day.

We have been preoccupied with water lately; namely the “Mighty Mississippi”. Living five houses from the levee in south Louisiana makes us quite aware of the rising water. None the less, life goes on and cooking continues.
Today at the Farmers Market, blueberries and strawberries abounded. We had pancakes on our mind as we headed home from the market. Once again, we used Bruce’s Sweet Potato Pancake mix and fresh berries.

Sweet Potatoes are a staple for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Sweet Potatoes and Yams are abundant in south Louisiana and they are used in a variety of ways all year. Sweet potato hash browns, bake sweet potatoes, sweet potato salad, and sweet potato fries are just a few ways of using sweet potatoes or yams.
We have used left over baked sweet potatoes to make pancakes and biscuits. Now we have an easier way – Bruce’s Food in New Iberia, LA has a Sweet Potato Pancake and Waffle Mix available. The mix is complete meaning just water is added. Instead of water, we decided to add egg and milk. The below recipe is the result of our experimenting.
