Hi! I’m Bayou-Mama.
Welcome to my corner of Louisiana, a place I love and that’s unlike any other. I am an obsessive cook, recipe tester, and food writer. I have a Master’s degree in Gastronomy, and spend my days searching for the next perfect bite. Apart from living in my kitchen, I am also an avid fiber artist, traveler, wife/mom, and passionate host.
I believe that there’s always room at the table, hospitality is a gift, and that cultivating joy begins with inclusive intentionality.
You can find me on both Instagram and Ravelry at @BayoumamaLa and by email at Bayoumamablog@gmail.com.
**A note/disclaimer–This blog is not monetized in any way. To repeat, this blog is a hobby, not a business. The links I provide ARE NOT affiliate links; they are just for your convenience. All reviews are of products or recipes I pay for with my own money, and I have no problem telling you the truth about them. If you see an ad on my site, that comes from WordPress, my site host, as the toll of free blogging. I have no control over the targeted ads they display to you.**

I’m a mom, a blogger, and a Ph.D. student, and I need your help. I’m doing a study about why women blog, and you have been selected at random to participate in a short survey about what motivates you to blog and what you get out of blogging.
I hope you will take it by clicking this link. Please do not forward the link.

Thanks for stopping in!
I met your mom and dad at the Texas Roadhouse in West Haven, CT tonight. I was their server and we had a nice chat about their stay in CT and they told me all about you and your blog. I too have 2 children, both girls, ages 6 and 9. Your blog and recipes sounded good when your mom told me about them so I thought I’d check it out.
Your parents seem like very nice people and I hope I see them again before they head back home.
Thanks for stopping by Nicole!
This is a FUN and REAL place to come visit! I love your style. I saw the research student above…Whatever the reason you blog, I’m glad of it. 🙂
