Read MoreA few weeks ago I got an email from an Editor at InRegister, a Baton Rouge Magazine, asking if I would want to share a recipe with their readers. Of course I said "yes!" and was excited to share a project I had been brewing up for awhile. Funny thing is this is not my first piece of work to be published in that magazine, but I was actually an intern with the company who publishes InRegister (and the Baton Rouge Business Report and 225 Magazines) for two years in college. I spent one summer as an editorial intern for InRegister specifically and had a few small pieces I worked on then. It is a little nostalgic and a honor to work with a company I value so much yet again!
I have been brewing the idea for these recipes for about a year, since I started using purple sweet potatoes. I just knew I had to make something for football season, since LSU colors are purple and gold and this town BLEEDS them. With being asked to write a piece right before football season kicks off, I knew it was the perfect time to share.

I refuse to categorize anything that God made for us to eat as “bad”, but do recognize which foods have more or less health benefits and adjust how much or how often I eat them accordingly. Needless to say when I am on a road trip I will partake in some glorious Chick Fil a waffle fries most happily, and I will also gleefully slice moutains of red potatoes on the regular to make these crispy delicious wonders.
Read MoreCooking can seem intimidating at times but the more you do it, the more forgiving you realize it is. Since then I have started experimenting with my own curries, rarely repeating the same thing twice. Through that I have created a base recipe that allows me to alternate some of the vegetables I add based on what I have and what we are in the mood for.
Read MoreI am Leah. An adventurous soul in a homebody. My husband, Patrick, and I live in Eswatini (a tiny country in Southern Africa) with our two little boys, but I travel back to good ol’ south Louisiana each Fall to photograph families and weddings!
I photograph families and weddings just as they are, because that is enough. I love to capture warm, joyful, and comfortable images and look forward to the chance to photograph you and your people!
I spend most my time figuring out how to cheer people on in the good work they are up to with the Good News. As much as I love to adventure, I deeply love being cozy at HOME. You can usually find me making delicious things happen in the kitchen to gather people around our table. I believe REAL food is the tastiest.
Here you will find images I have taken, words I share + maybe a few favorite recipes. Thanks for stopping by!
