Nola-Style Gumbo

I am a Christ loving Grandma who has been following a low carb lifestyle for many years. I am a type II diabetic and a major foodie, which sometimes can be polar opposites! I collect many recipes that are not low carb, so that I can take a stab at recreating the recipe suitable for my dietary needs. I also make sweets for alot of my family members & friends. So I have lots of recipes from all kinds of different dietary profiles in order to influence and supplement my "foodie" tendencies.

Let's head on down to the Bayou State for some good 'ole Nola-Style Gumbo! Okay, the fun secret here is you don't have to go anywhere but your kitchen to get a taste of this soupy, spicy Southern classic. Loaded with meaty sausage and plenty of veggies... and oh, you can't forget the heat, Nola-Style Gumbo will you have dancing in the streets. It's the flavorful party your taste buds crave!
