Yesterday
I pulled out the trusty Crock Pot and all the ingredients for homemade Gumbo
with a Butter Roux, my fav!
It is now 2019 and I think I might be one of the few who do not have an Insta Pot. Never say never, but I still like to come home at the end of the day and be greeted by the mouth watering aroma of home cooking, and the Slow Cooker still does the job!

As many of
you know my hubby and I do love New Orleans and I have written about Mardi Gras
and posted my favorite Nawlins recipes for several years now.
I have
added a couple o new recipes to my Mardi Gras Celebration Menu; Apricot
Zingers from Carrie over at Deliciously Organic,
Marinated Shrimp from my blog, Grilled
Pablano Peppers wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cream cheese: I made
these last fall and oh my were they yummy!
Previously
posted: shrimp
cocktail, Mardi
Gras Salad, Cool
Cucumber Salad, Easy
Gumbo in the slow cooker, Shrimp
Etouffee, Spicy
New Orleans Style Seasoning, Fresh
French Baguette
King Cake is a
pastry style cake decorated with frosting in the colors of Mardi Gras; purple,
green and gold. In New Orleans traditionally a small baby Jesus or trinket is
inserted in the cake and whoever finds the trinket in their slice of King Cake
hosts the next Mardi Gras party or brings the King Cake the next year. I have
had the good fortune of finding the baby Jesus two years in a row, hmm is that
a set-up?

If you are
heading down to Nawlins steer clear of Bourbon Street and enjoy the festivities
all over the city and in the parishes. It
is a time for Local Mardi
Gras Krewes, who bring you the "Greatest Free Show on Earth". As
for me, I will be celebrating Mardi Gras with our grandbabies, maybe one day I
will attend Mardi Gras in New Orleans…
Have you
ever attended Mardi Gras in New Orleans? What is your favorite New Orleans
style recipe?
Just Cook Something! Cheers! Kary~
