Go Big on Authentic New Orleans Flavor

In New Orleans, cooking is not a casual affair. It is a commitment — to flavor, to tradition, to the people sitting around your table. The Big Sexy Spicy Pack was designed for cooks who share that commitment: people who cook in large batches, who feed families and friends, who want their pantry stocked with the real thing rather than a grocery store substitute. Two full 16oz jars of Chef Diva's most essential blends means you are ready for whatever the week brings.

The Story Behind Each Blend

Red Bean Seasoning — A New Orleans Monday Tradition
In New Orleans, Monday means red beans. The tradition dates back to the days when Monday was wash day — a day when the pot could simmer unattended on the stove while the laundry was done. Kidney beans, the holy trinity of onion, celery, and bell pepper, and a deeply seasoned broth were the foundation. Chef Diva's Red Bean Seasoning was born from that tradition, refined on the Diva Dawg Food Truck, and developed to deliver all of that authentic New Orleans flavor in a low sodium, 100% plant-based blend. No meat required. No compromise on taste.

Creole Seasoning — The Mother Spice of New Orleans Cooking
Creole seasoning is the backbone of New Orleans cuisine. It is the blend that goes on the chicken before it hits the cast iron, into the roux before the vegetables go in, over the shrimp before they hit the grill. Chef Diva calls hers the "Mother Spice" because it is the starting point for nearly everything she cooks — a bold, aromatic blend of paprika, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and black pepper that brings the unmistakable flavor of New Orleans to every dish it touches. In the 16oz size, you will have enough to cook with confidence all season long.

A Week of Authentic New Orleans Cooking with the Big Sexy Spicy Pack

With two full 16oz jars in your pantry, here is how to cook like a New Orleans native all week long:

• Monday — Classic New Orleans Red Beans and Rice – Soak 2 lbs of kidney beans overnight, then slow-cook with the holy trinity and 12 tablespoons of Red Bean Seasoning. Serve over long-grain white rice for a pot that feeds the whole family and tastes better the next day. This is the dish that defines Monday in New Orleans.
• Tuesday — Creole Blackened Catfish – Coat catfish fillets generously with Creole Seasoning and sear in a screaming-hot cast iron skillet with butter until a dark, spiced crust forms. Serve with dirty rice and a squeeze of lemon. A New Orleans classic that comes together in under 15 minutes.
• Wednesday — Red Bean and Sausage Soup – Use leftover red beans from Monday, add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, sliced andouille sausage (or plant-based sausage), and an extra shake of Red Bean Seasoning. Simmer for 30 minutes for a hearty midweek meal that uses every drop of Monday’s flavor.
• Thursday — Creole Chicken and Dirty Rice – Season chicken thighs with Creole Seasoning and roast until golden. Meanwhile, cook ground meat with the holy trinity, cooked rice, and Creole Seasoning for a deeply savory dirty rice that pairs perfectly with the chicken.
• Friday — Creole Shrimp Boil – Boil shrimp, corn, and potatoes in a seasoned broth built on Creole Seasoning. Serve spread out on a newspaper-covered table for a true New Orleans Friday night experience. Bold, communal, and completely unforgettable.
• Weekend — Double Diva Grilled Everything – Mix equal parts Red Bean and Creole Seasoning for Chef Diva’s "Double Diva" blend and use it as a dry rub on ribs, chicken wings, shrimp skewers, and grilled vegetables. Fire up the grill and let the seasoning do the work.

Why Family-Size New Orleans Seasoning Makes All the Difference

There is a reason serious cooks buy in bulk. When you have a full 16oz jar of a seasoning you love, you cook with it freely — you season generously, you experiment confidently, and you never hold back because you are worried about running out. The Big Sexy Spicy Pack gives you that freedom with two of the most essential blends in the Chef Diva Foods lineup.

Both blends are Ochsner Eat Fit approved, meaning they deliver bold, authentic New Orleans flavor with a health-conscious formulation. Low sodium, plant-based friendly, and crafted with real ingredients — these are seasonings you can reach for every single day without a second thought.
