Bill & Laurie’s favorite recipes
I bought Laurie an InstaPot for Christmas last year. She uses it quite a bit (unlike a lot of the gadgets I’ve bought for her over the years!). We also like Cajun food and I am especially fond of good gumbo. So when she showed…
This recipe came from Taste of Home. I made a few changes in an attempt to make it higher in fiber and protein, (whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour) and lower in carbs and sugar, (used Truvia Brown Sugar Blend instead of regular…
