[NFB-InTheKitchen] COOKING SESSION TOMORROW MARCH 1st 4:00PM PST MARDI GRAS CLASSICS

[Regina Mitchell]

Happy almost March!

We will be exiting our last full day of February. This coming month we'll
see the first day of spring and the promise of longer, sunnier days. ☀️ The
start of a new season always gives me fresh inspiration! Does it open fresh
inspirations for you? Welcome to bright inspiring ideas!


Two Exciting In The Kitchen Happenings:

March Virtual Cooking Series - Mardi Gras Brunch Classics and March Cooking
and Baking Email Challenge

IN THE KITCHEN WINTER COOKING SERIES:

THE CLASSICS.

What happens when you bring NOLA to Brunch? - A Classic Mardi Gras
Celebration! You don't have to visit the Big Easy to enjoy its legendary
Creole flavors.

The best lazy weekends start with brunch.

Grab a few close friends and family and gather around  with some of your
not-quite-breakfast, not-quite-lunch favorites. Think…flufffy pancakes,
​decked-out waffles, skillet potatoes, sunny side up eggs and add a twist…
BBQ shrimp, Red beans and rice, Jambalaya, Gumbo or the Classic Muffuletta
sandwich…A twist of New Orleans!

You might not have time to make these during the week. So, let’s bring
Mardi Gras from the streets of New Orleans to your kitchen table!  Join our
monthly Winter Cooking Series, no matter your skill level, as we create a
Mardi Gras brunch that puts the Easy in Big Easy and revamp a few Brunch
Classics!
