It's Mardi Gras season and I've been busy getting together some of my decorations...even if it's just for the few days after Valentine's 'till Fat Tuesday!
This is one of the festive centerpieces I made a couple of years ago and it will go on the dining table...
I've already eaten more muffulettas than I care to admit and I'm gonna use my
Taste of Gourmet Bayou Beer Bread mix and make some "
Bayou Beer Sausage Muffins" next week! You can purchase the
Bayou Beer Bread mix from me
HERE....just add some cooked, spicy ground sausauge and bake in a muffin pan!
Jezebel Sauce is a must for the season...This
Southern sauce is a hot, sweet horseradish mustard blended with apricots, peaches, and apples. It's a standard item in my
Entertaining Pantry and goes great with
Taste of Gourmet's Toffee Crunch Cheese Cake Ball mix. Both of these products are also available
HERE.
Nothing says Mardi Gras like
Jambalaya! Recently, I received an e-mail from one of my readers asking if I had a good recipe for Gumbo.
Well, yes ma'am, I do! The
Taste of Gourmet Creole File Gumbo mix is a great roux to start your Gumbo. It's packed with chopped vegetables, mixed spices, and even rice. I like to add chopped sausage, chicken, shrimp, chopped tomatoes, and chicken broth. Voila...
JAZZY JAMBALAYA!
This
Jazzy Jambalaya is delish y'all...simma simma in the crockpot!
So, I hope you are enjoying the foods of Mardi Gras....
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
No party this year *sigh*...But, I've certainly been trying to bring the spirit of Mardi Gras to my table! Over the weekend, I prepared Bayou Sausage Muffins and served Cafe Du Monde lattes.
I added Jimmy Dean "hot" sausage and it was just the right kick to this Bayou bread mix!
For dinner, I added some Jezebel'd Deviled Eggs to my menu...
Three teaspoons of Jezebel Sauce and some Sassy Seasoning Salt added to the egg mixture spiced up this Southern favorite!
Jezebel'd Eggs. Arthur Court deviled egg tray. Oh-so Southern!
Chardonnay Hour...Now y'all know my wine goblet and accessories MUST match the theme of the day...Chardonnay and King Cake!
Happy Fat Tuesday to you. Hope you are enjoying some wondering Cajun food today and maybe some beignets...or at least a slice of King Cake!
