Served Hurricane cocktail

Passion Fruit Hurricane Cocktail

Mardi Gras might be a winter festival, but the Hurricane is delicious all year round. My special twist is making it a passion fruit hurricane recipe. I love sipping on one of these at a backyard barbecue or a trip to the farm... Your guests are going to love it too!

Mary’s Make-Ahead Baked Crab Cake Bites with Homemade Remoulade Sauce

My make-ahead baked crab cake bites look best served on a beautiful tray, with some homemade remoulade sauce and freshly sliced lemons on the side. A crispy golden exterior with tender, luxurious crab inside… dip it in the remoulade for a match made in heaven.

Mary’s Mardi Gras Red Beans and Andouille Sausage

Mary’s Mardi Gras Red Beans and Andouille Sausage

I’m an adventurous eater. I love a lot of different cuisines, and southern food is no exception. This is one of my favorite Southern recipes to make at home—classic red beans and Andouille sausage. It’s a popular dish in the South all year, but I love celebrating Mardi Gras with it. Red beans, Creole seasoning, and, of course, that special New Orleans sausage: Andouille. But what exactly is Andouille sausage? Read on for all this and more in my Mardi Gras Red Beans and Andouille Sausage recipe!
