Gifts from Louisiana

My friend Amy lives in Louisiana. We recently decided it would be a lot of fun to do a gift swap of a sampling of local, regional foods. I got my package on Friday:


It included beignet mix, king cake mix, jambalya mix, apple and chocolate pies:


Seasoning mixes:


... and pepper jelly:


I can't wait to use some of these goodies. Thank you so much, Amy! You're an amazing friend. I promise my package is on its way.

  1. Oh awesome! I am so unfamiliar with cooking of that region. I just made my first jambalaya last night though and it was great. Have fun with your goodies.

  5. My stepfather uses Andy's fish breading, and I can never find it this far north... The southern stuff rocks!

    P.S. I think I've seen that beignet mix at World Market, though... I'll have to check!
