When the Paczkis arrive in my neck of the woods, I know it is Mardi Gras season and Fat Tuesday is a comin'! Paczkis are Polish pastries eaten on Fat Tuesday here in the U.S. Paczkis are similar to Beignets and other filled donuts. If you don't have a chance to get to either of those,
make sure you check out my recipe for Heart Beignets. They are a quick and easy way to make your own Paczkis or Beignets or donuts or whatever you want to call them. They are a fun way to celebrate Fat Tuesday.

Cajun Snack Mix
a yummy snack, especially with a cold beer or maybe a fancier New Orleans' style libation.
See what I mean. Totally a bar food or an ice tea sippin' snack!
