Cajun Food Where You Find It
Cajun French: la peche (la pesh) – peach
The fridge is still over stocked with beer and we are having fun cooking with the beer. Having some fruit that needed eating, we decided to make cobbler. We usually use premade pie crust for our cobbler and finding none the imagination kicked in. Sweet Potato Biscuits, why not use the batter for the cobbler topping? And why not use beer for the liquid? Why not for sure; it is fantastic!

Cajun French: le fruit (lu frū-ee) – Fruit
Fr
uit is always among our weekly Farmers Market purchases. Toward the end of the week, we had peaches, plums, and blueberries left and decided to make a dessert tart. Ok, how do we put a Cajun twist on a dessert tart? We decided on Steen’s Pure Cane Syrup as a sweetener along with a sprinkle of raw brown sugar on top. If Meyers Lemons are available substitute 3 thin slices for the lemon juice. Place the lemon slices on top of the fruit.
This tart is an easy quick dessert.

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.

Dessert anyone?
It is always nice to have something sweet after a meal. Only eating whole grains and watching animal fat, interesting desserts are somewhat a challenge. We are experimenting with dessert ideas and ingredients. After trying various combinations of whole wheat cookies, we settled on this recipe.
The cookies are sweet. We like the sweetness because one small cookie satisfies the dessert craving.

What a treat!
We try to eat as healthy as possible. Yet there are days when things happen, and today was one! I realized we had various bits and pieces of bread and not wanting to throw them away, I decided to make bread pudding. Since we only eat whole wheat and whole grain breads, my bits and pieces were of these varieties. Realizing these breads are not real sweet, I have adjusted my recipe.
Mais C’est Bon! Enjoy!!
