Sadly My Last Taste of New Orleans

As I sit at my desk this morning, I reminisce about my recent trip to New Orleans. Praline in hand, I slowly inhale as I breath in the sweet, rich scent of this tasty treat before taking a bite and chasing it with my cup of coffee. This trip allowed me to try so many samplings of what New Orleans’s food scene truly offered: seafood, fried food, sweets, and more. As I nibble each bite, I want to savor this moment.

 

Throughout this trip, I took a food journey. I tried many firsts: grits, crawfish, alligator, beignets, and pralines. Being a bit of a foodie, I enjoyed each new experience and am inspired to try a few in my own home–maybe something for a future post.
