Mardi Gras Theme Show Ideas and Recipes | Anne Winchester, Future Director

In summary, Mardi Gras is a holiday celebrated on the day before Ash Wednesday, known for its revelry and indulgence before the start of Lent. It is most famously celebrated in New Orleans, Louisiana, but also in other cities and countries with significant Christian populations. Traditional foods eaten during Mardi Gras include King Cake, gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets, while common traditions include parades, masks and costumes, and lively music and dancing. For Mardi Gras celebrations, Pampered Chef suggests using their Quick Slice for slicing King Cake, Stoneware Rectangular Baker for making dishes like gumbo and jambalaya, and Silicone Prep Bowls for holding beads and trinkets during parades

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for a Mardi Gras theme show. I have one coming up @ the end of Feb.

I'm wondering if you have any ideas for recipes too....

Thanks so much

My recruiter will be sending me a recipe for a Mardi Gras King Cake that they do at their shows during the season. I will post it for you as soon as she emails it to me!
 
Hope this helps!

I put together one last year. I bought several strands of beads from a part supply store for tossing out during my demo for participation. I made the (I can't remember now if it was jambalaya or gumbo) from our Soups, Stews, Chilis recipe cards. I made, but you can buy rather cheaply masks for myself and my host to wear during the party. It was great fun!! I put the baby in the stew because I didn't have a recipe for King Cake. Worked out just fine. Also, for ambience I purchased a Cajun music cd from Target ($9.99). It helped set the mood when guests arrived. I played it as they were arriving and after the demo during checkout and eating.

Good luck!! These shows can be a ton of fun.
