	Mama Wants Meat! by Michelle M There was a time when I could have been a vegetarian. Well...a pescatarian.

But even more than that I craved hamburgers. Really good,…	1 vote 380 views
	Grown Up Quesadillas for Cinco de Mayo by Michelle M More Cinco de Mayo fun this week...a recipe for grown-up quesadillas. I'll come clean right off and admit that for a quick lunch my favorite way to make quesadillas is to load a tortilla with pepper jack and dab on some salsa.

In fact, scent is one way to…	1 vote 258 views
	BBQ Shrimp (no grill required) by Michelle M The New Orleans staple, BBQ Shrimp, was created at Pascal's Manale.Pascal's Manale, a Creole-Italian (Sicilian) restaurant on Napoleon Ave., opened in 1913. Can you believe? With all the come-and-go restaurants these days, it's hard to believe that one has been around for so long. And it's still owned by the original family. Even…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 1633 views
	Cajun Easter: Time for Paquing by Michelle M Easter is a big dang deal in South Louisiana. There's always a feast on Easter Sunday. We use every excuse to have a big meal with extended family.

	Gumbo Goes Green, I Try to Get Lucky by Michelle M No. Not that kind of lucky. This is a family show. Think St. Patrick's Day, Luck o' the Irish lucky.Usually I'm all about recipes that I grew up eating or current family favorites. I rarely feature something I haven't eaten or made at least a few times. But I couldn't pass this up.* I'm a few weeks into a meatless series* It's…	1 vote 846 views
