Now you can bet that our week will be AMAZING if we get an opportunity to stop by the Fox 8 studio and share our Sociably Yours tips. With Mardi Gras being today, we stopped by yesterday to share a few easy tips for a celebration at home.
Celebrated around the world annually, Mardi Gras is a Carnival celebration also referred to as Fat Tuesday, reflecting the practice of eating richer fatty foods before the season of Lent. Sociably Yours is here with some easy ways to create your own Mardi Gras celebration.
We featured Bourbon Street Chicken, Mardi Gras Pasta Salad, King Cake Cupcakes and of course a signature Carnival Cocktail!
