Louisiana Lagniappe: Crawfish & Beyond the Swamp

Maylee at Beyond Gumbo March 18, 2014

Lagniappe is French for “a little something extra.” Crawfish is definitely one of the more unique foods...

Welcome, 2026!

Welcome spring!

It is crawfish season in Louisiana. I have many favorite recipes featuring crawfish, here are several unique ideas to give an updated lift for crawfish tails — from Crawfish Egg Rolls to Crawfish Cheesecake. Plus, I have an easy and delicious recipe for Crawfish Etouffe. It is so simple; anyone can make it.

Plus, this is strawberry season in Louisiana — here are two great desserts for using Louisiana strawberries — considered to be the sweetest and most flavorful around.

Enjoy these recipes.
