Spring has definitely sprung in Cajun country and I am enjoying every minute of it! Everywhere you look, there is a magnificent display of colorful blooms. My Feng Shui, tip of the day, said to hang a plant to the left of the front door, (looking in), for good luck and prosperity. I went to my local nursery and bought this beautiful red geranium to comply with this tip. I have also started to plan my Easter brunch, which is suddenly, only 10 days away! So far, this is what I have and I will be sharing some of these fabulous recipes with you, in the week ahead. If you have a favorite Cajun dish that you would like to see on this list, please let me know! Merci beaucoup, cher!
Happy Spring , Ya'll *******

Cajun Seasoning Blend #1
Here is a recipe for one of my favorite Cajun seasoning blends. It has just the right combination of flavors, for most Cajun dishes. I use a wide variety of prepared and homemade spices and I love to make my own blends. So, whether you're in Canada, England, or right here in Cajun Country, you can make your own, too. Enjoy!

Marguerite- this is a wonderful post as usual.
Your menu is amazing, the recipe for the Cajun blend, the feng shui tip-\
By the way- where do you get daily tips.
I just love visiting your blog!

OH, YOU ALWAYS DELIGHT AND ENTERTAIN US.
I don't want you going hungry!
I love that red geranium. And isn't the color red symbolic of passion and energy? Very appropriate for you!
My invitation's in the mail, right?
I sure wish I was gonna be at your place Easter Sunday!! The menu made my mouth water and making the bowl of oatmeal I was eating on look just like what it is. HA!
Flowers are so uplifting. I'd also like to know where you get your feng shui tip of the day. Glad you are back on board!
Aren't flowers a welcome sight after winter? My old geraniums struggling after the cold of this winter. Might have to buy new ones myself.
Happy Spring to you! Isn't it grand? Looks like Easter brunch is going to be fabulous.
