When Houston residents want a taste of New Orleans without leaving home, they travel to Le’ Pam’s House of Creole for some spice. Houston-born chef Pamela Graham draws from her upbringing in New Orleans and training at the Culinary Institute of New Orleans to craft her menu of Creole cuisine. Her menu features Louisiana dishes such as fried catfish, chicken and sausage jambalaya, and cooked-to-order chicken wings. She combines Blue crab, gulf shrimp, Andouille sausage and turkey necks to make her seafood gumbo, and she finishes the meal with peach cobbler or bread pudding with rum sauce.

Millions of Americans suffer from lactose intolerance, a sensitivity to foods that contain the natural sugar lactose. Most often, lactose is found in dairy products such as milk and cheese, but there are some foods that contain it that you might not know about. Here are three surprising sources of lactose you should look out for:

1. Lunch meats. Cold cut meats are great for having on hand for a quick sandwich, but they're often made with processed ingredients that include lactose. Even a small amount could be harmful to those with sensitivities. So the lactose intolerant sure to purchase farm-fresh deli meat when possible.
2. Nougat. This creamy sweet filling in candy bars contains lactose. There are many other candies that contain lactase as well, so do your research before you indulge.
3. "Non-dairy" creamer. This tricky label might seem like a safe choice for lactose intolerant individuals, but many brands of this milk-derived substitute still contain trace amounts of lactose. Avoid it altogether and use soy- or almond-based creamers.
