Happy Fat Tuesday!



When I was a little girl, in France, we didn't celebrate Halloween, but we celebrated Mardi Gras! We called it Carnival: we used to dress up, put colorful masks on and, the best part, eat crepes or beignets with powdered sugar!

To give you guys a little historical background: Mardi Gras is an old Catholic celebration. It marks the last day before Ash Wednesday, the last day before Lent starts, the last day you can indulge...

So, of course, because I love spending time in the kitchen, I made sweet crepes - one of my favorite French desserts :)


Let the good times roll!


xoxo
