Any true Cajuns?

I'm talking about rice-and-gravy, gumbo-in-the-summer cajuns. I find it so weird looking through other people's diaries and they don't even eat rice once a week. I like to eat healthy but I sure do love me some jambalaya too! Anyone else feel the same?

    I love me some rice and gravy, but rice is so high in calories, so I've been roasting veggies with roast beef (I know...blasphemy!) and eating just a little rice and gravy. I eat jambalaya at events or my mom's house, but I don't cook it. And we always do gumbo in the winter, so that's coming soon! But, yes, many of my favorites aren't happening. :( I do some blackened meats. And I did Drago's oysters, grilled, the other day, but that killed my calorie count.

    IF we're talking ethnic cajuns I can give you a full accounting of my genetic history, I've been doing it since 2009 :)

    I try to avoid rice. I like it, but I just know that it's not all that great.
