Happy Mardi Gras! Even with a Carnival celebration in Cologne, the festival season has not been completely fulfilled for me... I miss Mardi Gras in New Orleans! I think I stalked everyone's Facebook photos throughout the day just to get a glimpse of the festivities.
I was determined to bring a little New Orleans to our apartment this evening. My initial thought was alcohol, because what else screams Mardi Gras?! But Dustin and I are both trying to get over a cold and I don't think I have fully recovered from the celebration in Cologne. So what else screams New Orleans and Mardi Gras... FOOD! Jambalaya was the choice for dinner since I can easily find all of the ingredients here (of course it was a reduced fat recipe to make myself feel a little better!)

And what else would complete dinner rather than king cake and Community Coffee's Carnival Cake flavored coffee! The king cake was not even close to real king cake and it definitely wasn't reduced in calories at all. But I don't feel to bad since I did suffer through an hour of P90X plyometrics this morning... BLAH!

Definitely not enough Mardi Gras for me, but I guess it will have to do. Oh what I wouldn't do for a good parade and a Sangria Swirl from Superior... Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler!
