I am very focused on Intercessory Prayer and Healing. I am also a Best Selling author and retired vocalist. I am also retired from my position with a large worldwide resort chain in sales and marketing. I volunteered for CASA Court Appointed Special Advocate for many years helping to change a law for children's rights in the court system in Louisiana. Counseling and Mentoring has also been a priority in my life when it come to youth. By helping others I am helping myself each and every day. God Blesses and helps us in all things. I see it in my family and most of all I feel it in Myself. I Am As Is~ Thank God! To me its not about Religion, its about Oneness and our personal relationship with our Creator.. Sandye M Roberts Bio Being an advocate for Children started many years ago. Being a Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse I knew I had to help others like me. In 1992 I joined with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for abused, neglected and exploited children in Louisiana, helping to change a law and being with children until they aged out. In this role I worked with families, DHS, law enforcement, the Court System being the Voice for the child in court and more. In 2010 Halos Outreach was formed. My Co- Founder and I, Arthur Jones III wrote six books, all relating to self help, families and more. They are still available in all book venues. We helped in many areas such as homelessness, food drives, and holding classes and speaking to those on the importance of family and the roles we play. Arthur had to step down when he entered the Seminary and is continuing his path to do good things for humanity. I continued to build Halos Outreach but knew there was more that needed to be done as our children were being targeted more and more, at a younger age. In 2004 my own daughter met someone online and left for New York City. A Nightmare no family wants to endure. After years, the story has a great ending as she works to help others that have been on the streets and addiction issues. In saying that it put me in a place to “Truly” know what these families are going through that we now help. We stay in touch with families even after the case is resolved and have built lasting friendships. October 2014 I completed ALS/ Crisis Management and State Coordinator training for CFSI ( Center For Search And Investigations) for missing children, a great organization who searches for Missing Children ages 11-16 years old. In January 2015 I finished my PI training and have since formed Halos Investigations Inc expanding Halos Outreach. I trained a great lady and worked along with her, Tina Storz the President and Senior Investigator now for Halos. Through Halos Investigations Inc I offered my services pro bono to CFSI for Missing Children for one year, being able to continue my advocacy for children. We started getting request for children that were older and younger children of families desperate for help. Now our cases keep coming in so we are concentrating on building Halos Investigations Inc and Outreach to help in our expansion offering help to all that we can. In July 2015 a new Division was added to Halos Investigations and Outreach, Intercept and MAPP (Mississippi Against Predators and Pedophiles), where our Task Force looks for those who Exploit and Traffick our Children Nationwide. Our divisions are growing and more will be added soon. Our Youth Empowerment Programs educate youth everywhere about the dangers on and offline. We also give a Scholarship honoring Mimi Lewis, one of our cases of a 14 year old girl groomed and murdered. Halos Investigations for Missing, Murdered and Trafficked is dedicated to families.

CHAPTER 2

CAJUN-CREOLE RECIPES – A BRIEF RETROSPECTIVE

Cookin' On Da Bayou

Driving through the Mississippi Delta, you pass through hundreds of sleepy towns on your way to the city that never sleeps: New Orleans (a.k.a. The Big Easy)!

Being a seaport, this Southern city's cuisine was flavored by people from many lands. African slaves, Native Americans, and Caribbean seamen added their flavors to the cuisine of the melting pot that became New Orleans.

The first settlers were French, usually the second-born sons of aristocrats who left France to seek adventure in the New World. They brought their traditional style of cooking from the continent, and being rich aristocrats, they also brought along their chefs as well! These Frenchmen came to be called Creoles, and made up the upper crust of New Orleans. Their descendants can still be found in the French Quarter today.

The next group was displaced French-speaking people from the Acadia region of Nova Scotia. The Acadians who were called Cajuns by the local Native American tribes. Both groups mixed their traditional dishes with the cuisines of African slaves and Caribbean seamen to form the Cajun and Creole dishes that New Orleans is famous for.

Cajun vs. Creole Cooking

In general, Cajun dishes are the country cooking of Louisiana, highlighted by dirty rice, gumbos, jambalaya, andouille (pronounced ahnd-wee or ahn-do-wee, it is a spicy smoked sausage) and simple foods such as fried catfish. Cajun cooking traditionally uses pork fat and simpler ingredients.

Creole is the food of the city, a more refined cuisine represented by Oysters Rockefeller, Shrimp Remoulade and Bananas Foster. It traditionally used the butter available to the wealthy Creoles, and more expensive ingredients.

Some people will tell you that if a dish has tomatoes, it’s Creole, not Cajun. That isn’t always true. Tomatoes have been known to turn up in jambalaya or gumbo, which are both Cajun.

Both Cajun and Creole use the Holy Trinity of New Orleans cooking: green peppers, onions and celery. They both also rely on the roux (pronounced roo) as the base of the dish. A roux is simply flour cooked in fat, either pork fat or butter, until it browns. This adds flavor and thickness to the dish. However there are healthier ways if you would rather not use the fat or butter. There is pre- packaged roux or a simple way is to put the flour in a non-stick baking pan and put in the oven on 350 until flour browns. You may want to stir once or twice. Then you just pour that in to your dish that requires roux. And no fat.

Blackened ? I don't think so.

There has been a trend lately that started when some hapless cook burned a piece of meat, then to cover up his mistake, smothered it in pepper and tried to pass it off as Cajun Blackened Moose or whatever. If you serve this mess to a Cajun, he’ll laugh in your face, smack you upside the head, and tell you to get back into the kitchen and cook him some real food. There is no such thing as blackened anything in real Cajun cuisine. Don’t be fooled. It turned out pretty good but it didn’t come from here.

And don't forget about Carnival Time!

The most popular time to visit New Orleans is during Mardi Gras, which is called Carnival by the natives of Louisiana. It runs from Epiphany (Jan. 6) until Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. But no matter when you go, you will never meet a stranger and you will never go to bed hungry. As they say in New Orleans, Laissez les bon temps rouler (Let the good times roll!).

Now let’s look at more History on the origins of it all.

Immigrants, most of French peasant ancestry, settled the Acadian region of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia from 1604 to 1654. By 1713 the total population of Acadians in the Bay of Fundy area was 2,000; by 1755, the population had grown to 15,000. These settlers subsisted on cereal crops such as wheat, barley and oats, and garden vegetables such as field peas, cabbage, and turnips. This diet was supplemented by domestic livestock, wild game, and fishing.

Because of increased tensions between the French settlers and the British, the Acadians were ultimately forced out of Nova Scotia. This was a long and grueling journey for those that survived it; many of the Acadians were sent first to Maryland, then to France, and finally to Louisiana where they attempted to reunite with their family members. The name Acadian was transformed to Cajun by the English-speaking inhabitants of Louisiana. The Cajuns grew to be a unified ethnic group as a result of their struggles to overcome discrimination as refugees; they also became increasingly wary of outsiders and resisted acculturation with Anglos in Louisiana.

Initially, all incoming Acadian immigrants arrived in New Orleans. They were met by a lukewarm Spanish government that was eager to relocate the settlers to more rural areas. This included the areas north of New Orleans on the Mississippi River, as well as the prairie region of Southwest Louisiana. The Acadians newly settled into the river region soon found difficulty in growing their familiar crops such as wheat, barley and oats. Additionally, turnips and cabbage did not do well in Louisiana's sweltering heat. Assistance from the Spanish government came in the form of corn seed. The prairie was ideally suited for cattle, and successful ranches were soon established in this region, providing New Orleans with much desired beef.

A dual class system emerged with the Acadian settlers, dividing Acadians into the small elite planter class and the working class farmers; a minor intermediate middle class existed as well. The elite planters soon adopted slavery, farming large tracts of land. They became successful in farming cotton by the early eighteenth century, which was replaced with sugar by the mid-eighteenth century and rice shortly thereafter. The planters identified with
