Vegetarian Mardi Gras Recipes
Fat Tuesday Feast
Celebrate Mardi Gras in vegetarian style

Down in New Orleans, "Mardi Gras" applies to more than
just the day before Lent: the festivities start on January 6,
then really get going a full two weeks before Fat Tuesday on
February 24. This leaves revelers in the Big Easy (and elsewhere)
plenty of time to celebrate with our Cajun-style menu.
The following dishes can be dressed up for a Carnival dinner
or served as a laid-back bayou buffet. The prep work is a snap.
All that's left is to choose some Cajun or jazz tunes; decorate
the table in purple, green, and gold (official Mardi Gras colors
that symbolize justice, faith, and power); then kick back and
laissez les bon temps rouler! (That's Cajun-French for "let the
good times roll.")
Smothered Cajun-spiced Squash
Deep South Slaw
Tabasco-Cheddar Biscuits
Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

What's the protein for this meal? Sounds delicious, but very lacking in protein. :-/
Add some red beans and rice for protein! Very southern! :D
