Grandma's gumbo
Not a traditional Louisiana gumbo as it doesn't call for a roux, still an often requested family favorite.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (as taught to me by my FRENCH CAJUN grandma!) Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (as taught to me by my FRENCH CAJUN grandma!)
If you want a thicker Gumbo use more flour and oil to make more roux.I add in a few boiled eggs about half an hour before it's done.If you've been to New Orleans this is similar to the Gumbo you'll find there with a bit of a difference. This is an authentic Cajun Gumbo recipe. Down here we serve it with potato salad. Sprinkle a little Gumbo filé on top for an even better cajun experience. Sometimes we add shrimp (small size) or ham (especially when I have leftovers from a baked ham). Also, if you're not familiar with making a roux you can buy it pre made in light or dark. Always use dark for this. I suggest making it yourself. You might not get it quite right the first time or two but it's worth it to learn.

Gumbo Gumbo
Gumbo is a French-style dish from the southern United States, particularly Louisiana, where many French settlers arrived. This led to the creation of Cajun cuisine, a blend of French and local flavors. Gumbo is a popular dish in Cajun-style restaurants, featuring a thick soup poured over rice, usually with seafood and chicken. Okra is a key ingredient that thickens the soup, giving it a rich texture. It's similar to a thick porridge but with a spicy, flavorful taste.

Gumbo Gumbo
My husband asked for Gumbo for his bday...one problem I've only made it a couple times and wasn't too impressed with the recipes. Sat down and started studying recipes and wrote my own for trial. It blew me away how well it turned out! His bday is the day after Thanksgiving so it will be made with turkey when it rolls around.Note I served jalapenos on the side instead of cooking in and served the Gumbo to my kids as is wasn't overly spicy.

Cajun Gumbo Cajun Gumbo
"Cajun" style – Gumbo, uses no tomatoes. However all gumbos starts with the basic “holy trinity” (onions, peppers, & celery), a good stock, and various meat, fowl, and shellfish. The key is to make a roux and add okra or filé powder as a thickening agent. Adjust the ingredients and seasonings to your liking and “Laissez les bon temps rouler” [Let the good times roll!]

I have loved gumbo always, but this is my version and probably not the conventional way to do it, but it is damn easy and really tasty.

Leftover Thanksgiving Gumbo! Leftover Thanksgiving Gumbo!
#mycookbookOh my goodness I am so proud of this. Being from Louisiana there is some things you do with gumbo and some things you just don't! But I stepped outside the box and I'm so glad I did because this is my most proud dish of my life! We definitely have a new tradition here in my home! I really really hope you try it and let me know what you think! This recipe filled up my 21 quart Dutch oven, you can adjust recipe to fit your family.

Jimbo's Gumbo Jimbo's Gumbo
I've been making gumbo for years. I thought I got pretty good at it.. Until I was fortunate enough to go to Mardi Gras in NOLA last year. I found I didn't know what I was doing haha. I probably ate 12 different takes in the 4 days I was there. I promptly came back and adjusted my methods. Now I'd say it's serviceable, still not as good as in New Orleans, obviously.NOTE: the ingredients call for file powder, which can be hard to come by, but it does make a difference. You can use more of the Cajun spice blend if file powder isn't available. Also I used celery instead of okra which most recipes call for. I'm half yellowhammer but I can't stand okra hahaha
