Fat Tuesday, Cooking like Princess Tiana

To celebrate Fat Tuesday we decided to have some Southern food. I got this cookbook last year and we have actually used it quite a bit.
"The Princess and the Frog Tiana's Cookbook Recipes for kids"






I highly recommend this book. The food is good and its really neat cooking recipes from the movie. Plus they are really easy


Here are Tiana's Famous Beignets (pronounced "ben-YAYS")They are a traditional New Orleans deep-fried pastry.



Displayed in my vintage Pyrex. I have ton of pieces I have collected though the years.

love the one that turned out like a heart



Joe also did some southern cooking with me. He made the Jambalaya, we were going to make the famous Gumbo but I was craving the jambalaya instead.
