We love to cook! So much so that we thought this Blog would be the perfect spot to share some of our favorite Cajun recipes from TasteofHome.com that are ideal for this festive time of the year. Bring on the beads, dress as colorfully as you want to, and let your own good times roll!
King Cake – Of Course!
Ingredients:
• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) of active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
• 3/4 cup sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
• 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
• 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg, beaten
Glaze
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 to 3 tablespoons water
• Green, purple and yellow sugars
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1/2 cup sugar, butter, milk, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, nutmeg and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 16×10-in. rectangle. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Brush with egg.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough water to achieve the desired consistency. Spread over cake. Sprinkle with colored sugars.
PS. If you want to hide a token plastic little baby inside, do so by cutting a small slit in the bottom of the baked cake – and be sure to tell your guests. Have a small prize ready for the winner!
More details re: The Baby in the King Cake
So we thought we’d stop right here to explain this tradition and dive into Better Homes & Gardens to get the story about this tradition.
Here’s a short version:
Mardi Gras (a.k.a., Fat Tuesday) falls each year on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday at the start of Lent. Traditionally, as part of that celebratory carnival, colorful king cakes are served at parties and gatherings. King cakes, either purchased or homemade, also tend to contain one customary ingredient—a tiny plastic king cake baby.
The tradition dates back hundreds of years—and there’s an interesting story behind how the king cake baby made its way into the pastry. The practice of making and serving king cakes actually dates back to the origins of Mardi Gras itself, which was first celebrated in America in 1699. Baking a baby into the cake wasn’t common practice until the 1800s.
So, before you put on your beads or fire up that delicious batch of gumbo, arm yourself with the details about why there may be a small baby in your slice of cake—and what it means if you’re the one who finds it. Hint: It’s good luck!”
(Super) Easy Jambalaya
Courtesy of TasteofHome.com
Ingredients
• 1 package (8 ounces) jambalaya mix
• 1 package (14 ounces) hot smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices

• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup pico de gallo
Directions:
Prepare jambalaya mix according to package directions, adding sausage and shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from the heat. Stir in cheese, pico de gallo and green onions; heat through.
Delicious Cajun Peach Catfish

To help you enjoy all the fun and festivities, our family at Cantera apartments in El Paso, Texas, is sharing some of their top ideas on where to go and what to do to celebrate Halloween and the fall season in El Paso.
Want to know where and how to pick out the perfect pumpkin? Want to try out new recipes for canning this year? Read on, then check our Blog later this month for ideas on creating the perfect costumes and where to show them off at the top spot to celebrate Halloween in El Paso this year.
How To Pick Out A Perfect Pumpkin
So, where do you start? It depends on the purpose. If you have plans to host a pumpkin carving party, focus on the large, uniform shapes; they are best for carving creative creatures. If you are seeking a pumpkin for the perfect pumpkin pie, here’s the rule: the smaller and heavier, the better.
While picking out pumpkins, be sure to get a few squashes to make one of the richest and most delicious recipes for Squash Soup from HowSweetEats.com.
To ensure your pumpkin lasts as long as it can, exchange the real candles of yesteryear with battery-operated candles.
And here’s an excellent tip to keep your artistry looking healthy well into the fall season: wipe the fruit off with bleach and water.
Where to Pick Out A Pumpkin in El Paso
Last year we provided you with a list of pumpkin patches and local farms within a short drive from our apartments to rent in El Paso Texas. All of those listed below are still our favorite spots.
Delicious Fall Canning Recipes
It’s that season again! If you have yet to try canning, perhaps this year is the year to do so. There are so many good reasons to add this hobby to your list:
- Preserving the nutritional value of fresh produce: Canning retains most of a food’s nutrients.
- Cost savings: Canning food is cheaper than freezing food.
- Environmental impact: Canning helps save the environment.
- Convenience: Canned foods are readily available.
- Versatility: Canning allows you to enjoy homemade goodness throughout the year.
- Preservation of family recipes: Canning helps preserve traditional flavors.
- Complete control of the ingredients. You won’t have to have a dictionary to understand what’s in your creation!
Here are a few of our favorites from TasteofHome.com. We hope you enjoy them too.
