Miss Monica’s Bayou Oasis: Slow Cooking Cane River Cuisine

By Monica Moody

Being raised in the great northwest by three phenomenal Louisianans’, born and raised in God’s country; Natchitoches Parish. I missed out on slaughtering hogs with my Grandfather in the parish, but my mother Dee Moody, grandmother Girlene Sapp and uncle Lonzia Moody, taught more than basic cooking. The portentous part was learning to scale fish at the tender age of fourteen while listening to majestic stories of Cane River. During their early passing, I put together a few recipes passed down from them and a few I have learned on my own through the years. I hope you relish in the recipes as much as I do. Put a little love in your flow, cook slow and clean as you go.

In Loving Memory

NOTES

Miss Monica’s Bayou Oasis is an anthology of recipes I was nurtured on and pooled in memories of my Grand-mother Girlene Sapp, Uncle Lonzia Moody and my dear mother Dee Moody. I expect you will revel in them as much as I have through the years.

Uncovered through discovery of Hypothyroid, the human body heals itself with the assistance of vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices, nuts, and berries. Starch, sugar, meat, and dairy build toxins in your body that require detoxifying. Toxins cause illness, Depression, anxiety, Diabetes, obesity and more. My recipe Detox fruit juice is one of many ways to Detox and cleanse. At first start of detoxing, I used 8 lemons boiled in 1 gallon of water and sipped like tea three times a day for three days. Along with Thyroid, Depression played a huge part on lack of discipline and consistency to achieve major results. Although it has been a struggle for me, I am dedicated to sharing information that will enhance your life by detoxifying at least once a week for life.

Detoxing: increases vitamin and antioxidant levels that help combat stress, boost your energy, rids your body of excess weight, improves immune system, weight loss, and improves; hair skin and nails. There are many ways to detox such as eating vegetables and fruit in abundance. The effects are like bathing in medicine. I have added detox recipes that has healed many years of suffering from Depression and Anxiety. Explore specific nutrients and their healing properties.
