Dinner #21 Mardi Gras

 Well today is Mardi Gras and we had a family style celebration this evening.  Last week we learned a little about the background of Mardi Gras and the reason for celebrating.  We are just such the cultural family.  We started the evening off with some appetizers.  We had beignets and smoothies.   The main course was Black Beans with Sausage and Corn.  We served it with corn bread and quinoa.  Everyone loved it.  For dinner we had a King Cake.  It was a super fun night with lots of food and laughs.

I now know why it is called Fat Tuesday!  For Lent I'm giving up cooking.  Just kidding.  It took me 2 hours to clean up the kitchen.
