Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕
And Mardi Gras is only two days away! 🎭
We are celebrating a Valentine birthday on the Gulf coast today
but we’ll be back in the city to celebrate Fat Tuesday!
The table is set for a special dinner
I think we’ll have Easy Slow Cooker Jambalaya
it’s always a winner!
A Mardi Gras jester and beads of gold, purple, and green
spill over onto the table set for dining and fine cuisine
Fat Tuesday tradition means rich foods, festive drinks,
and dressing in masks
What does it all mean, you might be tempted to ask?
Decorated floats parade down the streets
revelers throw beads, Moon Pies and other Mardi Gras treats
But this year the parades have been cancelled
and we’ll celebrate at home …
where we’ll be safe from the dangers of crowds and unknowns
A wreath of colorful ribbons nestles a bowl of sparkling decor
There are masks and crowns, and decorations galore!
So this year there won’t be crowds on Bourbon Street
But you can still have fun at home I think!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!
Here’s a couple more easy dishes to make your day festive:
Drizzle plain or Almond Crescent Rolls with colored icing and green, gold, and purple sprinkles
Make a festive Mardi Gras Gratin full of sausage, ham, asparagus and pasta, it’s full of the colors of Mardi Gras
Holiday Cookie Bars are made with a cake mix and the golden bars are covered with purple and green sprinkles
Enjoy!
