Louisiana was a winter wonderland Tuesday, and it felt like a dream! We got 8 inches of soft, powdery snow—something we may never see again here. We built a snowman, made snow cream, rode a sled, ate gumbo and made the best memories! 💕❄️☃️ #snowday #louisiana

GUMBO WEATHER ❄️ ⛄️ Roux: • 1 cup vegetable oil • 1-1 ½ cups flour 1. On low heat, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot, then add the flour. 2. Constantly stir with a whisk or wooden spoon. 3. Cook until the roux is a dark brown color, then remove from heat. Gumbo: • 1 large onion, diced • 1 large green bell pepper, diced • 2 ribs celery, chopped • 2 lbs andouille sausage • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into thirds • 64 oz water • 64 oz chicken stock • 1 tablespoon chicken base • 4 cloves garlic, minced Spices (to taste): • Britscookin Cajun seasoning  • Garlic powder • Onion powder • Black pepper • Cayenne pepper • 2-3 bay leaves Notes: The amount of seasoning will depend on your preference and the type of sausage you use. Instructions: 1. Make the Roux- This can take 30-60 minutes, so be patient! 2.  Brown the sausage in a separate pot. Once browned, remove and set aside. 3.  Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Brown the chicken in the same pot, then remove and set aside. 4.  In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, and celery (the Holy Trinity). Season lightly with a little more Cajun seasoning. Cook until the veggies are tender. 5.  Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Then, carefully add the dark brown roux to the pot, stirring to combine. 6.  Pour in the chicken stock and water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chicken base.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. 8. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Sausage and Cheese McGriddle Muffins ✨ Ingredients: • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled • 2 cups prepared pancake batter (follow directions on the box) • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese • Syrup, for drizzling Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. 2. Cook and crumble the breakfast sausage in a skillet, then set it aside. 3. In a large bowl, combine the prepared pancake batter, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked sausage. Mix until well combined. 4. Grease a muffin tin, then spoon the mixture into each cup. This recipe makes enough batter for 12 regular-sized muffins. 5. Drizzle a little syrup over the top of each muffin. Be careful not to overdo it, as the syrup will sink to the bottom and make the muffins overly sticky when removed. 6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden. 7. If you have trouble removing the muffins, run a butter knife around the edges. Let them cool slightly before serving. #creatorsearchinsights

Smothered Steak Rice and Gravy! Ingredients: • 2 lbs round steak • 2 lbs seven steak (or any cheap cut of steak) • 1 tsp Britscookin’ Cajun seasoning • 1 tsp onion powder • 1 tsp garlic powder • Mild hot sauce • 1 large onion, diced • 2 green bell peppers, diced • 1 stalk celery, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tsp dried parsley • 1 tsp beef bouillon powder • 6-8 cups water (or as needed for gravy) • Cooked rice (I recommend @Parish Rice —Parish is higher in protein and has a low glycemic index.) Instructions: 1. Season the steak heavily with Britscookin’ Cajun seasoning, Britscookin’ Garlic & Herb, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. (I didn’t measure the seasonings here—just sprinkle until it looks like enough.) 2. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot, like aluminum or cast iron, over medium-high heat. Sear the steak until browned on both sides. Remove the steak, place it in a large bowl, and set it aside. 3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, bell peppers, and celery. Stir to pick up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add a splash of water to deglaze. 4. Cook until the onions are soft, then mash the vegetables with a potato masher. (This is what makes the gravy, in my opinion!) Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. 5. Return the seared steak to the pot, along with any juices. Use the same bowl the steak was in to measure 8 cups of water, then pour it into the pot. 6. Season again with parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, beef bouillon, and Cajun seasoning. 7. Let it simmer with the lid off for about an hour and a half, then cover with a lid and cook low and slow for another hour and a half, stirring occasionally. 8. Serve over freshly cooked rice and enjoy! #creatorsearchinsights #parishricepartner #riceandgravy #cajun

Cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the paste. 4. Pour in the beef broth and simmer until some of the liquid cooks down. 5. Stir in the drained corn and sour cream. Mix well, then turn off the heat. Taste & adjust seasoning as needed. 6. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. 7. Top with frozen tater tots in a single layer. 8. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the tater tots are golden and crispy. 9. Serve hot and enjoy!
