IPA Cajun Gravy over Mashed Potatoes

Happy Monday everyone. Did you have a great weekend? I wanted to drop in for a minute since I haven’t talk to you guys in a while. My parents were here last week. I plan to post a recap from their trip, as soon as I find the SD card with the pictures for our adventures.

Huck was in Fort Lauderdale this weekend for a bachelor party and most of our friends were out of town. I decided to spend the weekend relaxing and enjoy doing nothing since I’ve felt like we’ve been nonstop for the last 2 months. I watched movies and way to much True Blood, went shopping, slept in the middle of the bed, and detoxed. I literally ate nothing but veggies and fruit this weekend. No beer, coffee, oils, meat, etc. I cheated and had eggs a couple times, but for the most part, I did good.

The guys came up to Jupiter yesterday before their flights, and I did meet them at Square Grouper for a beer. I was going a little crazy being by myself.

As you can guess, it was kind of hard looking at food this weekend, so I avoid blogging.

Mashed Potatoes with IPA Cajun Gravy  (3)

I’m back now, and ready to eat/share some great recipes. Now that our two months of craziness are over, I’m ready to get back into a regular blogging schedule. I have a few more recipes I made weeks ago I’m dying to share with you guys.

This gravy was on the top of the list. I’m a huge fan of IPAs as anyone that reads my blog regularly, know. The Abita Spring IPA had a great bitterness and citrus flavor. IPAs pair well with spicy or strong flavor foods. That’s why it paired so well with my spicy Cajun gravy.

You can serve the Gravy with Mashed Potatoes or Mashed Cauliflower for a healthier version.

This recipe was inspired by our recent trip to NOLA. On a quick lunch break, we ate a Popeye’s. They serve their mashed potatoes with a yummy Cajun Gravy. We decided to try to recreate the gravy at home to serve with my Spicy Buttermilk and Beer Fried Chicken.

I have one more recipe to share from our NOLA inspired meals… Chicken and Cinnamon Roll Waffles. Let that sink in. I’ll be back later this week with the recipe!

Until next time, I hope everyone has a great week!!
