DH makes the best pancakes in the world, with a bunch of nutmeg and a cup of melted butter in the recipe. I will weigh 10lbs more tomorrow morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-mardi-gras-what-are-you-eating-today#post-1467322 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:23:56 +0000 Mamasig 1467322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's an oval shaped dessert decorated in the Mardi gras colors of purple, yellow, and green. It can have fillings like cream cheese, strawberry, etc or just be plain. There are tons of variations but that's the basic king cake. Traditionally, there is a plastic baby in it and whoever gets the baby has to bring the next king cake. We generally start eating them on king's day (January 6) through today. But now you can get "king cakes" year round in other colors. </p> <p>I picked up a doughnut king cake today and had crawfish fettuccini for lunch. Yum! </p> [attach=4375/14/n1xksd.600x411.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-mardi-gras-what-are-you-eating-today#post-1467227 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:02:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1467227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pancakes for dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-mardi-gras-what-are-you-eating-today#post-1466962 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:52:05 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1466962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Michigan friends keep posting about paczki's and I am jealous because I haven't found a bakery that sells them in Atlanta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-mardi-gras-what-are-you-eating-today#post-1466918 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:40:34 +0000 IRunForFun 1466918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing! :sad: Maybe I will make some gluten free pancakes when I get home tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-mardi-gras-what-are-you-eating-today#post-1466913 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:37:09 +0000 .twist. 1466913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mmm, sounds delicious.
