Happy Mardi Gras!

We started a tradition a couple of years ago.  To celebrate Mardi Gras, we make a New Orleans style dinner, beignets for dessert, and Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" for entertainment.  This year, I made "dirty rice" with chicken, black beans and quinoa (with the secret ingredient... Creole Seasoning).  It was really yummy!

The beignets turned out really good too!  Our home teachers from church came by that evening, so we shared our Mardi Gras dessert with them too!

It is really fun, and something I hope to do every year!
