Boudin is, by far, my favorite sausage! 💕 The Cajun spices give it so much flavor! Couldn’t find any collard greens, so steamed Napa cabbage and crumbled bacon it is! Plus some Red Beans and Rice! All that’s missing is the Beignets! ❤️ I couldn’t find any collard greens, so steamed cabbage it is! Some hard boiled eggs and buttermilk biscuits made for a nice pre-Thanksgiving meal! If you’ve never had Boudin, you’re seriously missing out!
