When most people think of Louisiana, they think New Orleans, Bourbon Street, or that really hot conference they attend in the middle of August. These are not my memories.
As a kid, I spent a number of years traveling back and forth I-10, from Texas to Louisiana. We would have family get togethers either in our family home or over at one of my aunt’s homes. These houses were in the country. I’m talking long driveways and Nutria.
The beauty of this deep southern style of living was, first the imagination of a child can grow so much when they can safely roam for acres and explore the many wonders of the outdoors. Second, our family would make amazing food. Farm fresh duck eggs, chicken etouffee, and gumbo.

Stef from Natural Paleo Family has a Paleo, no-bake, and sugar free cookie that is delicious, healthy, and it’s a perfect indulgence for you and your family.

INSTANT POT SPICY CAJUN PASTA
As with a good comedy act, I want this week’s gluten free recipe roundup to come full circle from our opening theme. If you have an Instant Pot and you don’t follow Valerie of One Happy Housewife, then you should. She offers wonderful recipes plus some cleaning, organizing and decorating tips to help manage our chaotic castles. This week’s recipe has some cajun attitude. It is Instant Pot Spicy Cajun Pasta. I enjoy keeping this recipe gluten free for my family by using Banza’s pasta. Enjoy!
