Mardi Gras Recipes

This is an awesome King Cake to serve for Mardi Gras

Turkey that is perfectly seasoned and deep fried! This is one of the South's favorite way to prepare turkey.

This creamy banana pudding is made Southern Style! You might want to make an extra batch, as people will most likely be coming back for seconds.

Pumpkin substitute: At the last minute, you find that you thought you had pumpkin for a recipe, then you find out you don't. You might just have some sweet potatoes! Sweet potatoes are a good substitute for pumpkin, and pumpkin is a good substitute for sweet potatoes (In certain recipes) .
Pie Crust: If you are having trouble with your crust browning too soon around the rim, place some tin foil around it prevent burning.
Frying Turkey: If you are frying a turkey, please use precautions, and the correct type of oil. Peanut oil is the best oil to use as it has a lower flash point, and doesn't catch on fire as easily as other oils. NEVER fry a turkey indoors!
Injecting a Turkey: There are several Cajun marinades (and others) that come with an injector to add more flavor. Personally, I like the marinades that Tony Chachere makes.
