TEA for Two ~ Me and my Gran

Our friend, Michelle Pfenninghaus FINDYOURBALANCEHEALTH is running a Mom's Real Food Recipe Carnival!

What a spectacular way to honor our Moms! Granmoms! Aunts and the fabulous cooks in our lives! You can join us ~ COME ON! It'll be fun!

My Gran was born in St. Mary's parish in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1918.

She survived malaria there and raised 3 children of her own here in Chicago. AND she was a great creole cook.

Now that I am vegan, I substitute the dairy and poultry but will share it with you exactly as she wrote it down.

She has gone on to the other side but she remains with me in everything New Orleans.
