    Mardi Gras Recipes

    Published: Feb 12, 2013 · Modified: Apr 21, 2022 by thekitchenprep · This post may contain affiliate links ·

    Did you know that today is Fat Tuesday? {Isn't every Tuesday around here?}

    This week is just full of all kinds of celebrating -- from Mardi Gras to Valentine's Day -- but since I've already covered a few Valetine's recipes last week, I thought I'd put together a list of some Fat Tuesday favorites!

    Last year I dedicated a whole week to Mardi Gras {I even managed to put together a little history lesson for ya} and, man, were those dishes tasty! Here's a little recap:

    Jambalaya Collage

    Cajun Jambalaya - A hearty classic filled with sausage, seafood, and loads of spicy seasoning.

    King Cake Collage

    Mini King Cakes - My take on a Mardi Gras tradition, scaled down to portable {and adorable!} size, complete with a step-by-step guide on how to make your own!

    Beignet Collage

    Oven Baked Beignets - I know, nothing beats the real, deep fried New Orleans delicacy... but if you're trying not to take "Fat Tuesday" quite so literally, this oven baked version satisfies your sweet tooth without all the guilt.

    All these fun foods put me in such a party mood that I even designed some Mardi Gras printables for you! They can be printed out onto sticker paper for some cute treat bag seals, or onto cardstock for party tags you can cut out, hole punch, and tie with ribbon onto party favors.

    I haven't gotten around to trying out the recipe ideas I have in mind for this year, but I'm hoping I'll have some time to get in the kitchen and test them out this week. So, stay tuned and give these a try in the meantime!

    Do you have any Mardi Gras favorites?

      Thanks, Jess! That Jambalaya recipe is one of our favorites. I adapted it from a recipe I cut out of the newspaper when we lived in Dallas & it's one of those crinkled up recipes that will probably stay in my collection forever. 🙂

      Oh my gosh, I lied! I thought it was my old recipe but it's actually an adapted Emeril recipe. Just as good, but not the one I thought. lol Just wanted to clear that up! 😉

    Hi! I'm Dianna. I used to think cooking had to be complicated to be good, so I never considered it "my thing." Now I know that's far from true, and my mission is to create & share easy, mouthwatering recipes - from weeknight dinners to simple bites for entertaining - that anyone can make! Join me in my South Florida kitchen and let's get cooking!
