Beyond Gumbo is a blog relating my culinary experiences since moving to Louisiana years ago.
Why another recipe blog, you might ask? Doesn’t the internet already contain lots of food blogs? Yes, but I have a unique perspective on the topic. As a nutritionist I’ve worked both in food service management and the clinical setting. I love to cook and that proved useful in the catering end of food service. This period of time was just when healthy eating was growing in popularity. So along the years, I’ve tried to adapt my favorite recipes to make them more healthy. I hope to share more than recipes; a goal is to discuss current trends in nutrition and health. And I grew up in a family that gardened, with grandparents as mid-western farmers. So, I’m doing my best to keep an urban garden growing and will share my experiences here. Welcome to my blog!
We can always use more food blogs! Love them.
What a lovely, lively and colorful blog! Also great to have a professional nutrition input :).
Thanks!
Do you have a Pinterest? I would love to follow you! 😊
No, I don’t have one; but that’s a great idea; perhaps I’ll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Food looks and sounds great
Thank you and for checking out my blog!
I wish that I could grow a garden. I’ve done container gardening but as the years go by, there are more animals here, such as, ground hogs, rabbits, and deer .
Yes, ground hogs? That’s serious stuff. Yes, the animals can be a problem, Container gardening sounds like a good solution.
I can’t find anything on here. I can’t call up a blog by date or a Recipe by the name it was called in the blog, I neeeeeeed the Anasazi Bean Soup recipe. I know I saw it before but I didn’t save it then.
Please!!!!
Hello, The recipe for the Anasazi Bean Soup was posted on January 13, 2019. On the right hand column, you can click on January 2019 and it will list all the recipes for that month of January. You can also put — beans — in the search field criteria. The recipe post should be about the third one down. Also in the drop down menu of the “Recipe” tab across the top bar, you can see “Soups and Stews” that I’ve written. This one should be there. Yes, this blog is a “learn as you go” project for me. A “user friendly” index is something I’d love to accomplish. I appreciate your feedback — please contact me for any other recipes you can’t locate or questions — I try to be helpful.
Maylee, Thanks so much for having this blog. I was trying to find my copy of Gay’s recipe for
stuffed cabbage. I had no luck . So like everyone else I went to the internet to see if I could find a recipe for stuffed cabbage. When I typed in “Gay’s stuffed cabbage” I was directed to your posting of Aunt Gay’s stuffed cabbage. I do a deconstructed version and needed the measurements for the sweet/sour sauce. Now I have the mixture in my crockpot and have spent the last hour or so reading the recipes in your blog. I have a feeling I will return often.
Hope you and your family are well.

Yes, I love your mother-in-law’s Stuffed Cabbage recipe! And, how interesting, I also just made a deconstructed stuffed cabbage using a head of New Year’s cabbage based on this recipe and had to look up this recipe, too. I have posted several of Aunt Gay’s recipes that I love — esp Eggplant Caponata — that’s the best –. Also, Her Blueberry Streusel Pie and Pickled Yellow Squash are some of my favorite ones. You will enjoy one I have coming up on Sunday! We are dong great, Thanks. Hope you weathered the winter storms okay in the Dallas area.
