Holidays, Mardi Gras Round-up
Spring holidays for 2016 are all piled up this year, with Fat Tuesday, February 9, so close to Valentine’s Day… just a mere month away!
Mobile, Alabama is one of the first American cities to celebrate Mardi Gras, so it is serious business on the Alabama Gulf Coast. You can read more about the history here
Mardi Gras decorations go up as the Christmas decorations come down
Homes are decorated inside
and out with the traditional colors of Mardi Gras: PURPLE which stands for justice, GREEN, which stands for faith, and GOLD, which stands for power.
Lavish tables are set
Bourbon Street comes to mind
Crowns and masks are a must
Abundance is the recurring theme…
King Cakes fill the bakeries,
Below are 2 easy ones that I like to make
It’s time for one last celebration before the Lenten season begins…
Be sure to check out my Mardi Gras Pinterest boards here and here for more Mardi Gras fun and recipes
Don’t these king cake pancakes from Girl verses Dough look festive?
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
