Satisfying and sufficient. I wish the vegetables were undercooked for crunch. Very pleased at the amount of vegetables included.

Southern Soul Gumbo
way too much okra in this gumbo, the okra texture and taste overwhelms all the other ingredients with every bite.

Shrimp Étouffée
I did not expect to like this but the gravy—yum! It was all excellent. My only complaint us that there wasn’t enough rice to soak up the mouth watering gravy!
