Even though Beau was working until midnight, I still wanted to celebrate Mardi Gras... by myself... so depressing... anyway, I wanted to enjoy some NOLA food. It had to be something that I would have leftovers for when B got home and something we'd both enjoy. I searched the internet and came across one recipe but since we can't get collard greens up here, I had to find another recipe. Red beans and rice -- perfect! Two things that I enjoy and it has some type of meat for Beau.
But then I saw it...
'Reduce heat and simmer for two to three hours...'
I didn't get out of work until 3 and still had to go to the store! Dinner at 8pm was not what I had in mind so I may or may not have cheated a bit.
Ok, I completely cheated but can you blame me?

| Jazz it up with Zatarain's! You sang it too, didn't you? Oh, you didn't? It was only me??? Crap. |
It still came out pretty good though! However, my mouth is still on fire from the spices in the sausage. I think next time, I will cook them separately, ick!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Fat Tuesday! Have a happy and safe Wednesday!

Dont worry I sang it too!!! Im making Zatarain's tonight!
You're not alone! I cheated & used Zatarain's Dirty Rice mix to make Seafood dirty rice with scallops & shrimp last night. Sometimes cheating tastes really good! (and yes, I also sang the song in my head)
I definitely took advantage of Fat Tuesday haha! I'm not as awesome as you though, I didn't make any "themed" food!
