Though we’ve been in Texas for many years now, my mom is originally from the Creole State (Louisiana) and it’s quite a honor to inherit such great heritage. The Creole/Cajun Culture of Louisiana has a big influence on many parts of the world including Texas. Some of my favorite people and things from or inspired by Louisiana are...my mom (she can make a gumbo like no other), musician Louis Armstrong (he was amazingly talented), author Anne Rice (a few of her books are movies now), the Princess & The Frog movie (I loved everything about it), the Louisiana Rub wings at Wingstop (yum), and Louisiana Hot Sauce (lol I put it on almost everything). What are some of your favorite Louisiana things?
Anyway, below are a few of my favorite local (Houston, Texas area) creole events and places to enjoy Cajun cuisine and desserts.
