"Eating in Louisiana is a religion; it's not just about nutrition," Chef Folse says. "It's an in-gathering; it's celebratory; it's a prayer of thanks for all we've been blessed with from the swamp." John Folse grew up just east of the Atchafalaya Swamp and lost his mother as a young boy. His father raised six boys and two girls as a single parent. One of the things Mr. Folse felt he needed to teach his children was to be good cooks.

While vacationing, don't forget the importance of eating healthy. Vacation is the best, and worst, time to indulge. It's easy to get off your healthy eating kick and fill yourself with junk food. Try to incorporate some fresh and local fruits and vegetables into your meals. Don't overdo the alcohol or sweets. A treat once in a while is great, but remember moderation. Your body will thank you for it.
Eat nuts in moderation as part of a balanced, healthy diet. Most nuts provide protein, one of the toughest good nutrients to get while eating healthy.
