Next Tuesday marks Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday.” a day of celebration and colorful festivities, celebrated most earnestly in the warmer climates, like New Orleans (a place the how2heroes crew is quite familiar with). So grab some beads and roll up your sleeves for some fantastic New Orleans soul food!

Here are some excellent comfort recipes we highly recommend on this day of celebration:

Drinks:

• Becca Mason’s Hurricane
• Andrew Ledford’s Brandy Milk Punch
• Chris Keating’s Absinthe Cocktail

Savory Dishes:

• Chiqui Collier’s BBQ Shrimp
• Justin Kennedy’s Fried Shrimp Po’Boy

• Mark Springfloat’s Creole Crab Cakes
• Ashbell McElveen’s Southern Biscuits

Sweet Treats:

• Emanuel Loubier’s Spoon Bread
• Poppy Tooker’s Calas
• Frank Brigtsen’s Pecan Pie with Fresh Whipped Cream

Have a great time cooking and don’t forget to get ready for Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year, both of which start this Sunday! We have great sections for both holidays with awesome ideas to feed your family, friends, or maybe just that one special person.
