Quick and hearty Gumbo
Yum. We made this as a (belated) toast to Mardi Gras and Louisiana. I realize it isn’t perfectly accurate, but it is tasty and we all loved it. It’s also quick and easy, which is a huge bonus. We’ve had a wretched cold around here lately, and the spiciness of the [...]

Ingredients
4 6 oz cans crab (the cheap kind works fine) You could also use 2 cans [...]
