I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans.  Isn’t it pretty? One of our…

Food in New Orleans

November 9, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We just returned from an eleven day trip to New Orleans and boy, are we stuffed!  We decided to set aside our usual vegetarianism during the trip and simply enjoy whatever sounded good to us.  We always have to have at least one meal at Mother’s.  They make delicious po’ boys and we always split…

Memory Lane Monday – New Orleans

August 31, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

In April of 2006, David and I made our first trip back to New Orleans post-Katrina.  I well remember the mix of emotions as our plane touched down at the Louis Armstrong airport.  I was so happy to be returning to the city of my soul, especially since I had wondered if that would ever…

Guest Post Friday – Red Beans and Rice

August 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

One of my Facebook friends who shares my love for New Orleans and its culinary pleasures posted the picture below the other day. He generously agreed to share his recipe.
