For an early Mardi Gras, I made Easy Jambalaya. The recipe is at Recipezaar at this link http://www.recipezaar.com/Easy-Jambalaya-91727
It was getting dark, so some of my pictures are a bit blurry. I know I still have some coins and beads from my last trip to New Orleans, but I couldn't find them anywhere! I could find green beads and green and gold coins in my St. Patrick's Day stuff, so don't look at the shamrocks on the coins! The "tablecloth" is an old evening gown with a satin skirt and sequined top. As you see, I did find some Mardi Gras masks!!! The recipe was good and easy!
Thanks Gollum! :D Jewel

This looks delicious. My Aunt and Uncle used to make this all the time for their church suppers and it was always a "big" hit..

This looks absolutely delicious, and your Marti Gras table looks so festive! Love the masks and all the bright colors and beads. Makes me want to head down to New Orleans and eat good food! :-)
Happy Foodie Friday...
XO,

Jambalaya...I Just LOVE that word. Rolls off the tongue!!
Lovely post. Happy Foodie Friday!!
I had to come back and correct myself. It's late, and I knew I typed Mardi Gras incorrectly when I said Marti Gras. I guess I was thinking of my friend Marti. LOL! Sorry... late night typos are the worst, and I'm guilty as charged. If you find more in my posts, please just ignore. ;-)
That doesn't mean I didn't love your dish. I did! :-)
XO,
Sheila
And don't tell Professor Debbie. Good thing she was ahead of me. ;-)
Yummm... I haven't had any in ages!
Happy Foodie Friday!

Thank you for this delicious Foodie Friday offering! I'm an old Louisiana gal, and I love jambalaya so much, I eat the leftovers (if there ARE any) straight from the fridge--with a spoon! I love your carnival masks and the green/purple/gold. I sure miss that part of the world.Thank goodness we have regional cuisine. It'll stop foodie homesickness every time.
A beautiful post!
Beautiful presentation...food looks wonderful...I love the tablecloth. What a clever girl you are. Please stop over to my blog one day. Love to have you visit.
Kindest thoughts,
Pat
I love your table! I saw the recipe and wanted to try it myself. We're supposed to be on a diet but I can't pass this by now. It's your fault.
