French Cuisine, Made with Love - And a proper roux

There is a wealth of incredible Cajun cuisine in the Lafayette area — that is news to exactly no one. But, on occasion, you’ll find a hidden gem that incorporates all the local culinary delights we’ve come to expect while adding an outside perspective.

This is the magic of Chez Jacqueline in Breaux Bridge, a small eatery on Bridge Street where you’ll find poboys and crawfish étouffée, but also lapin chasseur (rabbit stew) and escargots a la Bourguignonne (a buttery, flavorful snail appetizer).

How I began weaning my one-year-old

I always knew that I wanted to breastfeed my child, and I decided pretty early on that I wanted to breastfeed him until he turned one year old. At the time, that was the recommendation from the AAP (Academy of American Pediatrics) — breastfeed your child for at least one year and, if you decide to go longer, good for you! It’s healthy to breastfeed your child for as long as the two of you want.
