Mardi Gras is a holiday all about celebrating the joie de vivre or joy of living.  A Holiday best celebrated in south Louisiana with its decadent parades, Cajun and Creole food, and of course, the beads, this feeling of Mardi Gras is easy to translate in any city.  I love throwing a Mardi Gras dinner party each year here in Atlanta; what a festive way to include our friends in this unique celebration!  This year our guests will be treated to a tasty Louisiana menu filled with:

Cranberry Daiquiris

Roasted Shrimp Cocktail

Chicken & Andouille Gumbo

Cornbread Muffins

Green Beans with Black-Eyed Pea Vinaigrette

King Cake Bread Pudding

Have a safe and festive Mardi Gras, wherever the day may find you!
