Crock Pot Cajun Chili

Well I have a lot to say today, first of all what a dominating performance by LSU in their 45-10 win over Auburn yesterday! In front of the second largest crowd in Tiger Stadium history (93,098), LSU completely dominated a good Auburn team in all three phases of the game – offensive, defense and special teams. The 35-point margin of victory was the largest ever in the 46-game series against Auburn dating back to 1901.

I have to confess that I had to tape the game and watch it later. That is something I really do not like to do. My Saturdays are such a ritual, I always cook and do my blogging and watch my football team. Yesterday was an exception, my daughter had an opportunity to attend a workshop with our good friend Marla that has a great talent company called It’s a F.A.C.T. I just have to tell you how impressed I was with all the unbelievable talent right here in Albany, GA! These kids are not only talented, but they are kind, good-hearted children. You can just tell they were raised right. I have a feeling these kids will go far with their acting careers. I was so grateful that I let my selfishness go out the window and spend the day with this astonishing group of kids. Their parents must be swollen with pride with them and Marla for their commitment to this outstanding program. What a great Saturday to spend with Alli and all these beautiful children.

Also, today is my Savory sister’s 1-year anniversary and I want to wish her and her husband Andy a very happy anniversary! One year ago, Amy and I along with some wonderful friends and family pulled together an extraordinary event. Yes, Amy and I planned, cooked, decorated, facilitated, and directed her entire wedding. Can I just tell you it was absolutely grand. If it were not for all our friends and our beautiful stepmother we would have never accomplished this beautiful event. We had such an enormous time and the food was to die for. It is quite amazing what you can accomplish with a little help from your friends and family!

With all this being said, here is our recipe for Crock Pot Cajun Chili! This is an easy recipe and you can even make it the night before. It is better the next day. It is really lip smacking good! Hope you enjoy!

Breaking Bread with a Tiger Fan!

What a beautiful morning we are having in South Georgia! Love to wake up and have my coffee in this chilly weather. Today is another grand Saturday for us LSU fans! LSU will be playing in Knoxville to challenge the Tennessee Volunteers at 3:30.The game will be televised to a national audience on CBS. Neyland Stadium seats 102,000 and we all know that Tennessee’s fans will be fired up to take on the top-ranked team in the country. LSU enters the game ranked No. 1 in the nation for the third straight week, and has won all six of its games by double-digits! So with that being said we are getting geared up to watch another exciting game. Today I am cooking a Low Country boil. Low Country boil is a perennial favorite here in the Wagner household.  This recipe is Easy Like Sunday Morning!  You can throw everything in one pot and not have to worry about a lot of prep work. This is how I like it on game day Saturday’s, not much prep work so I can spend my time getting pumped up for the game. It is so funny how I cook a grand meal every Saturday for my Tigers and NO ONE ever comes to watch the game with me. I sit in front of the TV with a “carpet picnic” of fine Cajun vittles and cheer on my team. I kinda like it, like that.  Sometimes friends will stop by and eat a bite, but they leave when the game comes on. If you are not a die-hard tiger fan, you probably would rather not watch the game with me. I am a little passionate over my Tigers! Hope everyone has a Beautiful weekend! Geaux Tigers!!!!!
