Cajun Fourth of July Menu

With the Fourth of July just a few days away, I am putting the finishing touches on my holiday menu and wanted to share a few of the recipes that I'll be preparing for family and friends. Several guests will be bringing a dish, as well. Here's a recipe for a fabulous potato salad that will surely be a hit at your house and have them coming back for more. Cest bon, cher! Bon Appetit!

Peaches and Cream Pie + Bayou Blues

Here's a heavenly treat that I love to make when I'm having guests or when I'm just in the mood for a little something sweet. The scrumptious flavors in this Peaches and Cream Pie are divinely delicious and when I tell you that it's the best and the easiest peach pie that I've ever made, then you know that I mean it, cher! Enjoy!

Peaches and Cream Pie

Pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
(homemade or store bought)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
1 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 inch pie pan with crust. Combine the sugar and flour in a large bowl and mix well with fork. Add the peaches and toss to coat evenly. Add the peaches to the pie crust and spread evenly. Pour the cream evenly over the peaches and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.

Cool before serving and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fabulous!

Bayou Blues

It's been a hot and stressful week, here in Cajun country, and I'm chillin' out tonight with some good ole bayou blues. Here's a little clip of one of my favorite blues bands, gettin down at the Simi Cajun Blues Festival. Grab yourself a cold one, cher, and crank it up for this "hotter than hot" band. Cheers!

  Hope ya'll are having a great weekend! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
