Mardi Gras has officially arrived!
The epic celebration, also known as Fat Tuesday, refers to the series of events beginning on or after Epiphany and coming to a head the day before Ash Wednesday. The event — namely celebrated in and associated with the city of New Orleans in the United States — signifies the ritual of eating rich foods before fasting during the season of Lent.

To celebrate the occasion today, I’m sharing how you can bring a little bit of New Orleans-style flavor into your kitchen with cinnamon sugar beignets. Get the recipe below!
