Recipezaar: Mardi Gras/Carnival recipesThe newest Recipezaar recipesin:Mardi Gras/CarnivalTraditional King Cake- December 25, 2006 From Southern Living. My mom wants to try this one out for Mardi Gras. The King Cake tradition came to New Orleans with the French settlers around 1870, continuing a custom dating back to twelfth century France. Similar cakes were used then to honor the three wise men who visited the Christ child, calling it the feast of Epiphany, Twelfth Night, or King's Day. The traditional colored sugars used to decorate the cake are purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power).

Fast and yummy yet it tastes like you spent hours over the stove cooking and and stirring. This uses my make ahead gumbo mix recipe 199147 which takes the long cooking time of gumbo down to a weeknight managable amount. Enjoy! -- posted by mama's kitchenhttp://www.recipezaar.com/199284 Okra Freezer Gumbo Mix- December 4, 2006 Tasty make ahead mix makes gumbo day a snap!
