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!]

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.
