Crawfish Bacon Cheesecake
Sometimes you come across food that folks will refer to as "stick to your ribs". This is one of those recipes that will stick to your ribs, your arms, and your legs. Seriously, do not plan on eating anything else the rest of the day if you make this recipe. I've always been a fan of the idea of taking a dish that is usually thought of as sweet and making it savory. This is a prime example of that.

Crawfish and Pimento Grilled Cheese
As I'm sure we've mentioned before, one of the best parts of a crawfish boil is the inevitable leftovers. There's corn, potatoes, garlic, and of course, crawfish. Now, the potential for super yummy leftover recipes are all but endless but what do you suppose would happen if you took one of the South's most iconic get-together foods (the humble crawfish) and combined it with one its most famous snacks?! The grilled crawfish and pimento cheese sandwich of course! Well, those two things and bread and butter naturally.

Crawfish and Mascarpone Bisque
Sometimes you have to wonder how you went so long without realizing that two particular things made a great combo. For instance, how long did people go before they realized peanut butter and jelly went well together? On this particular day, I discovered how well crawfish and mascarpone cheese went together.

Crawfish Étouffée
Taken from the French language, etouffee means to smother. That is exactly what you do when making this dish. You smother all those delicious leftover crawfish tails in a spicy gravy, turning some leftovers and some veggies into a fancy stew.

Crawfish Boil
The great leveler when it comes to outdoor activities in Louisiana: The Crawfish Boil. While other places on the globe refer to the quarters of our annual trip circumnavigating the sun as summer, fall, winter, and spring; Here in Louisiana, the same monthly groups are lovingly referred to as, snowball season, football season, Mardi Gras season and lastly, crawfish season. Pretty impressive when you stop and think about it. An entire region of our country naming an entire season after a crustacean.
