Family Friendly Mardi Gras Guide – Baton Rouge and Beyond

January 19, 2021 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

Contrary to popular belief, Mardi Gras can be a Family Friendly Mardi Gras, especially in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. The festival seems like it was made for children, with creative floats, costumes and masks, bold colors, and joyous music. Not to mention, the beads, doubloons and other treats thrown to the crowds from the floats are a child’s delight. Sadly, due to COVID, this year’s parades have been canceled but there’s still plenty of Mardi Gras goodness to be had! Below you’ll find a round up of our most popular Mardi Gras themes posts.

Easy Boudin King Cake – Mardi Gras Recipe (Video)

January 11, 2021 by Guest Contributor

I’m Jennifer Oster, local Baton Rouge Mom and business owner. My husband and I love to cook, and we recently started a YouTube channel to share our passion for cooking with the world! Our specialty is Louisiana/Cajun/local food.  This Easy Boudin King Cake is always a hit during Mardi Gras season; it’s stuffed with boudin, pepper jack cheese, and topped with pepper jelly, green onions, and bacon. To save time, this recipe uses pre-made dough! It looks impressive, but it’s a super easy recipe. 
 
Traditionally, boudin (pronounced BOO-DAN, not BOO-DEN) is made with ground pork, rice, onion, green peppers, and Cajun spices and seasonings, left to the boudin creator’s own devices. 
 
I hope you enjoy this savory pastry that marries two Bayou State classics.
