This tomato gravy is truly a taste of Louisiana Cajun Country. Mama made countless batches tomato gravy in her lifetime using her mother's recipe. Serve with love over hot buttermilk biscuits along with bacon or sausage.

Red Curry Coconut Squash Soup
This red curry coconut squash soup has such an amazing balance of flavors and has officially become my favorite soup. Perfect for a chilly fall day! The fall weather always serves as inspiration for soup, especially butternut squash soups. I wanted to put a spin on the typical squash soup this time, though. Optional garnishes include sliced scallions, toasted squash seeds, or shrimp. I highly suggest the toasted squash seeds as a garnish. They really add a lot!
