Recipe: A New Orleans Food Review

New Orleans is one of my favorite places to eat. Cajun food is one of my favorites. We cook it at home, but nothing quite compares to being in the Big Easy and eating all that yummy, authentic cajun food. Here's a look at what we ate:



Thin fried catfish at Middendorfs




Crawfish Cakes at Chartres House Cafe




Beignets and Cafe Au Laits at Cafe Du Monde



Fried Shrimp and Hushpuppies at Acme Oyster House

Shrimp and Grits at Grand Isle

Shrimp Poboy at Grand Isle

Pasta Jamabalaya at Crescent City



Stuffed Shrimp at Crescent City

Oh, man...looking at all these photos has made me hungry again. I might have to whip out my favorite jambalaya recipe and give it a whirl. I'll share that one soon.

Happy Thursday, friends!

Outfit: WISH

Well, I'm back! Back from vacation, back to my routine, and back to blogging. I know you're overflowing with happiness.

As you may remember, New Orleans is home to my favorite clothing store in all the world: WISH. When we go to New Orleans, I save up for months to be able to shop to my little heart's desire. You will probably notice a lot of new WISH pieces in my outfit posts coming up. I got some really great pieces! 

Here's one of them now...the perfect maxi dress. This one is perfect for several reasons:

1. A maxi dress is the most comfortable thing you can wear to work. Remember, it's like wearing pajamas at your desk. This one is no exception...so soft!

2. This dress is easy to style.  A belt. A scarf. A cardigan. Different shoes. Dress it up, dress it down. Whatever you wish!

3. Color blocking.

4. Modest.

5. From WISH.

Also, I have been trying to air dry my hair more and use less heat styling on it this summer. Still getting used to it, but my hair is very soft styled like that.

I hope you all have a very happy Tuesday. Thanks for reading!

So much food...

Basically a New Orleans vacation consists of eating and shopping. We ate some amazing meals and I am planning on sharing them soon! Thanks for hanging tight while we get back into the swing of things!

We're home!

We are home from vacation!

It was a wonderful time. I can't wait to share with you what we ate, bought, and wore!

Have a happy Wednesday!

Thankful: Vacation!

Have you picked up on the fact that we are going on vacation?

Ethan and I have not been on a proper vacation in years. We are very excited to get away! We are going with another couple and we are very much looking forward to some good food, lots of laughter, sitting by the pool, and enjoying the city of New Orleans...

I'll be back on the blog next week updating about our trip, so see you then!

Have a happy weekend!
