Cajun Sweet Potato Salad

Cajun Sweet Potato Salad This recipe was a total accident and a HUGE hit! I was making potato salad to go with Gumbo (it's great in a bowl of gumbo instead of rice!) and I was out of potatoes.

Hot Toddy / Feel Good Tea

Juice from 1/2 Lemon Stir it all together in a microwave mug and nuke it till warm enough. Or, if you boil your tea it will warm the whole mixture enough to serve.
