Southern food – Creole chicken
You probably already know that Southern food includes “Creole.” I’m cooking one of my original Creole recipes for dinner tonight. Yesterday, chicken breasts were on sale at our local grocery store, so I bought two large packs. These are chicken breasts with the bones and skin still intact. I actually prefer these for my Creole Baked Breasts because I like the crunchy chicken skin. Yeah…I know we’re not supposed to eat that because of the fat, but it’s just so darn good!

Creole seasonings – make your own!
If you’re ready to make a Creole recipe but find you don’t have commercial Creole seasonings on hand, you can easily make your own. If you cook a lot of Creole dishes, you might want to make a big batch and store it in your cupboard. Make sure you place it in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place.

Try this Cajun recipe!
These fried sweet potatoes with Cajun seasoning are awesome! They’re sweet, spicy, hot, and crunchy, and they’re more nutritious than regular French fries and potato chips. They go great with many Cajun recipes. The key is to slice the sweet potatoes very thin. If they’re too thick, they’ll get soggy. Sprinkle the fried potatoes with the seasoning while they’re still warm. If you’re making these for kids, you might want to leave off the seasoning mix on some of the potatoes.

This is a spicy beef brisket meal with seasonings used in many Cajun recipes, that cooks long and slow in the crock pot. It includes most of the flavorings found in traditional Cajun recipes, but with the crock pot method, the brisket always turns out tender and juicy, packed with flavor. The Liquid Smoke gives the meat a barbecue flavor – like it was cooked over coals. We like to shred the meat and make sandwiches with it, but you can also serve it sliced or over rice.

We love Cajun seasoning and Cajun recipes at our house, and as true Southerners, we also love cornbread. So, of course, it’s only natural that we’d find Cajun cornbread a delicious dish. This Cajun recipe can be served with most any meal, but it’s hearty enough to stand on its own, too. Just add a green veggie or tossed salad, and you have a meal!

A favorite Cajun recipe!
You’ll find tons of Cajun recipes for blackened redfish, but obviously, I like mine best! The key to good blackened redfish is to use Cajun seasoning and a VERY hot black iron skillet. Since the fish cooks so quickly, this Cajun recipe works best with thinner fillets, about ½-inch thick. Use real butter, too. I often just brown instead of blackening redfish because hubby prefers it that way.

Make your own Cajun seasoning with spices and herbs.
Cajun recipes get their distinct flavor from a mixture of Cajun spices. You can find lots of different Cajun seasoning recipes, but of course, I like my seasoning recipe best! It’s easy to make your own dry Cajun seasoning mix for Cajun recipes. If you and your family enjoy Cajun foods, this mix will come in handy! It’s great on any Cajun recipes, fish, and chicken, and I sometimes even add it to veggies and scrambled eggs. It’s wonderful for grilling, too. If you make a big batch of Cajun seasoning and store it in a jar, you’ll have it on hand whenever want to do some Cajun cooking.

If you like Cajun seasoning and spicy Cajun recipes, you’ll like this corn casserole. I like to use frozen niblet corn, but if you prefer, you can use canned corn. You’ll get a lot better flavor with fresh or frozen corn, however. If you like really spicy foods, add more red pepper.
