Anything blackened gets my full endorsement, along with Zydeco, Cajun Country and Swamp Tours. There's not one job I'm not up to promoting for Louisiana's state tourism. In addition, if you want some hot and humid weather, now's the time to come visit.

<p>I'm an attorney by education and a court reporter by current employment (love my job!). A couple of years ago, we had the opportunity to relocate to my home state of Louisiana, and I am happy happy happy to be here! I've been cooking since I was old enough to see the top of the stove - my mother was a home economics teacher, and she believed in starting me off early. I work full-time, I'm a Scentsy consultant, and I dream of getting my little bath goodie business up and running.</p>
