So it would be naïve to think that we all had an unlimited budget and time off work to continuously travel the world, at least I don’t! So when you can’t travel, instead bring a piece of the world to you home via the kitchen. Food is one of the best ways to explore a new culture.
A few mornings ago I was inspired to take out taste buds to New Orleans with some beignets (delicious pockets of fried dough with powdered sugar). Although I did not make these from scratch, they tasted heavenly! FYI, I cut the Cafe du Monde box recipe in half because there was only two of us and I try not to eat a pound of doughnuts in one sitting. 🙂

Any tips on knowing when the oil is hot enough? I have a box of this my sister brought back from NOLA that I need to crack into 🙂
I literally just broke off a tiny piece and if it puffed up and came to the surface I felt it was good.
