Mardi Gras Recipes

When Fat Tuesday comes around it's a big deal in Louisiana.

Mardi Gras is most Louisianians favorite time of the year. What with all the parades and parties, it's a time for celebrating and having a good time.

That usually includes a lot of food being cooked up - and boy can those Cajuns cook.

From boiled crawfish, to King Cake and everything in-between. Mardi Gras season is a time for delicious recipes and drinks. Music, floats, food, friends... Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler (let the good times roll).
