This past week, I was on the road working on a freelance project. And while the job involved two of my favorite things—Texas and food—it prevented me from spending any time in the kitchen cooking.
Now, it’s just occurred to me that it’s the final few days before Lent, a time when some are going to indulge in lots of Louisiana dishes to celebrate Mardi Gras, or pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday.
As I’ve said in the past, I come from a long line of pancake eaters. But I do have some homesick Cajun friends here in New York, so I’ve been known to indulge in the occasional bowl or two of gumbo before Ash Wednesday as well. And since I didn’t an opportunity to cook this week, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite pancake and Louisiana-style recipes from others and myself instead.
Happy cooking!
