Bayou Boogie

Here's a little clip that I took of one of my "all time" favorite bands, playing one of my "all time" favorite songs.  The Red Beans and Rice Band Revue was rockin' the crowd at Festival Acadiens. Grab a cold drink and crank it up for this one, cher!

Cajun Summer Favorites

It's summer time in Cajun country and that means lots of refreshing, cool summer drinks, and lots of grilling on the patio, and boiled crabs and shrimp. I just love sitting around the pool in the evening and sipping one of these Strawberry Margarita Spritzers while dinner is cooking on the grill. Enjoy!

Strawberry Margarita Spritzers

1 (10 oz.) package frozen strawberries, thawed

1 cup tequila
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1 (10 oz.) can frozen strawberry daiquiri mix, thawed
2 tbs.'s fresh lime juice
1 (1 liter)  bottle club soda
Lime slices for garnish

Place first 5 ingredients in blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and stir in club soda, right before serving. Garnish with lime slices. Cheers!

And with Father's Day, right around the corner, these scrumptious grilled Cajun favorites will be perfect for your Father's Day celebration or anytime you want a sinfully delicious meal. Guaranteed to please the Dad in your life, cher, and lure him out of his Man Cave. Bon appetit!
