If so does your party have a Mardi Gras feel to it? Check out some of these tasty treats and beverages to see if some last minute additions are in order or plan a special meal for the family early in the week. Just a reminder that Tuesday is Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras so King Cake and Paczki should be around if you look for them. Although Mardi Gras is really a season, up north it's only right around Fat Tuesday that anything is available (except online).

Kitchen Daily has a recipe for King Cake
