Video: Unbelievable, OK, Weird, Foods and Recipes

From Denny: Just when I think I'm going to post something typically Cajun I run into this funny food video! These have got to be some of the most disgusting, too salty, too sugary, fatty, highest calorie, wonderful tasting recipes around. The author of the blog turned book, This Is Why You're Fat! gives you a sampling.

These are some crazy recipes! Try fried Coke - now how do you fry a liquid was my first thought? Then there are Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, McNugget-tinis (vodka and McDonald's chocolate milk shake with fried battered chicken nuggets only as a garnish, whew!), Mac 'n' Cheese layered into your meatloaf (which actually looks kinda pretty) and an Elvis Presley donut - peanut butter frosted and garnished with sliced bananas and slices of bacon on top. To qualify as "why you're fat" category a recipe has to be smothered in cheese, deep-fried or wrapped in bacon. There are a lot of bacon blogs out there, folks! And we wonder why America is fat!

If you are game - and crazy enough - to make these recipes, enjoy!

Bacon cinnamon rolls

From: "This Is Why You're Fat"

INGREDIENTS

• 1 container bacon strips
• 1 container cream cheese
• 1 roll ready-to-cook cinnamon rolls

DIRECTIONS

Cook the bacon in a pan until one side is mostly done, but not fully cooked through. Dry the bacon of grease, then slather the mostly cooked side of the bacon with cream cheese.

Unroll the cinnamon rolls on a hard surface. Place the cream cheese-slathered bacon onto the unrolled cinnamon rolls. Roll the cinnamon rolls back up with the cream cheese bacon inside.

Place the rolls on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and top with icing provided in the cinnamon roll packaging.

Bacon mac and cheese meatloaf
(Italian grandmothers must be rolling over in their graves...)

From: "This Is Why You're Fat"

INGREDIENTS

• 2 eggs
• 2 slices wheat bread, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoon parsley, minced
• Worcestershire sauce to taste
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 1/4 cups onion, sliced
• 10 strips of bacon
• Premade macaroni and cheese

DIRECTIONS

Mix ground chuck, eggs, bread, ketchup, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper with hands in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, sweat onion until translucent but not brown. Allow onions to cool, then add to meat mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and move to refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay bacon across the width of a loaf pan. Press a layer of meat into the bottom of the pan, on top of the bacon. This layer should fill exactly one third of the loaf pan.

Scoop some of the macaroni and cheese into the loaf pan, making sure to press out any air bubbles. This layer should also fill one third of the loaf pan.

Form a slab of meat in the approximate size and shape of the remaining one third of the loaf pan. Transfer the slab to the loaf pan. Add or remove meat as necessary to ensure a snug fit.

Fold strips of bacon back over the top of the meatloaf. Roast until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.

Comfort Food From Louisiana

Cajun, Creole and Southern Comfort Food: The city of New Orleans is our most famous.

Our melting pot of food came from centuries of history and the cultures of Spain, France, Sicily, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Lebanon, the Caribbean and Africa as well as a sizable Jewish culture in New Orleans and Baton Rouge - a wild mix! Today's newer immigrants adding to our Louisiana flavor are from Vietnam and Mexico.

In the process of how all these diverse groups learned to live together a wonderful culture of food was born and is cultivated to this day.

Welcome!

Come into my kitchen, relax and eat well! It's a tradition here in south Louisiana to trade recipes and talk about food like other people talk about the weather. Advice and tips buzz around like Junebugs in summer!

Louisiana is an interesting place. It is like a little piece of Europe planted in America, especially New Orleans. Each city and town has its own flavor in Louisiana from my Baton Rouge to New Orleans to Lafayette.

As this blog grows there will be historical and cultural articles along with the recipes so sit back and enjoy!

Comments are welcome. If you want me to take a look at your website or blog then feel free to send your notice to: warriorspearl@gmail.com. If it fits any of my blogs I’ll be glad to include your link. Thank you for your cooperation!

Marti Gras colors: It's so New Orleans! For those that don't know, purple and gold are also the colors of Louisiana State University (LSU). Purple, green and gold are associated with Marti Gras. Gold is symbolic of Power. Purple is symbolic of Justice. Green is symbolic of Faith.

Laissez le bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)

Keep grinning! Denny
