Today is Mardi Gras, and I’m celebrating like never before! This past weekend I was honored with yet another birthday…which one, you might ask? Well, I’ll keep that to myself. With the fact that I’m not getting any younger also comes the realization that I should make every day count!
The definition of Mardi Gras is “to partake in food, drink and fun before the beginning of fasting for the Catholic holiday Lent”. Even though you may not be Catholic, or you don’t run down to New Orleans to watch the parade or collect colorful beads, you can still be a part of the carnival tradition through good food.
Here are some of my favorite Taste of Home Mardi Gras recipes that will be on my family’s table tonight. Be sure to ‘click’ on the PICTURE of the dish, and it will take you to the recipe!
Bon Appetit!
Chef Dana
Cajun Chicken and Rice Soup
Sweet Corn Bread
Brunch Beignets

Disappointed! Can’t “click” on the name of the dish. Click on the picture, it enlarges, but no recipe. Help!
Hi Laurie! Whoops, looks like the link was broken. You can now click on the photo of the dish, and it will take you directly to the recipe! Enjoy!
Love the article, however, the observance of Lent is not JUST a Catholic celebration – a number of Protestant faiths observe Lent as well!
Thanks, Jacquie! Great feedback.

HI, Sandy! Oopsies….It looks like the original link did not work. It is now functional, and all you need to do is click on the photo, to get the recipe.
I did a google search and it led to where the recipes are on the site. Type in which recipe you are looking for.
I think it should be Sweet Corn Bread not Sweat Corn Bread
HAHA, great catch Mary! I have to admit that “Sweet’ Corn Bread sounds much better than ‘Sweat’ Corn Bread!
