Father Paul D. Seil, host of the Catholic TV show 'Our Daily Bread', shares some great recipes for the Lenten season with us.

We were surfing through one of our favorite websites BuzzFeed.com today when we came across a list of the 29 Most Austin Things That Ever Happened. That got us to thinking... what were the most Cajun things that ever happened? After some careful deliberation, we think we've got a pretty definitive list.

If you were raised in south Louisiana, the question, "did you get your ashes and what are you giving up?" is not at all strange to you. Nearly a third of the state's population is Catholic, and the majority of that number live south of Alexandria.

You've probably noticed the size of your mudbugs being larger than expected so early in this year's crawfish season. You can thank good ole mother nature for this one.

Lent is almost upon us, but you don't have to feel deprived with these delicious seafood recipes!

It's Ash Wednesday, and as we all know, it's the beginning of Lent. Every year, millions of people around the world will be "giving up" something during the next 40 days.

Lenten season is a BIG DEAL here in Acadiana. But despite its pervasiveness, there are still many misconceptions held about Lent among Catholics.
