    I'm from North Louisiana, but live in Dallas now...you wouldn't want my recipes...I don't cook...that's why I'm on MFP to "reform my habits"! But seriously, I completely understand...it's hard to revamp some of those tried and true cajun and deep home recipes!

    Geaux Tigers!
    We have just eliminated fried foods as much as possible. If we are somewhere that only has fried food (the occasional fish fry, etc), we just use portion control and hope that it doesn't upset our stomach too much...which eliminating fried foods might do to you! For other things, you just got to "cheat", like for me with jambalaya. While throwing some turkey sausage on a grill might taste pretty OK most of the time, it won't work in my jambalaya pot nor will brown rice.

    I'm from Louisiana. I don't cook all the time ( I take a lot of convenience foods to work,etc), but about twice a week I cook something from Cooking LIght and it is usually posted on the "Foodies Unite" thread (just search the message boards and you will find it). There are a couple of us that post pics of what we cook on there. Feel free to friend me, my diary is open to friends. Oh, and I'm Lynette from Baton Rouge, by the way (been here two years, but used to live in Metairie and New Orleans and still work over there a couple of days a week).
