Mardi Gras celebrations are in full effect and so there’s no time like the present than to celebrate with these King Cake Doughnuts. I was always under the impression that Mardi Gras took place on a single day and that was that, but in traveling to New Orleans once a month for the last four years or so, I’ve learned that it’s practically a month long celebration. The parades and parties start off small, but as you get closer to the actual Fat Tuesday, they become more bigger and wilder. So even if you think you’ve missed it, you actually still have time to celebrate until next Tuesday the 25th. So with that being said, let’s keep that party and these doughnuts going. And if you’re still looking for a little more New Orleans flavor in the kitchen, why not give these Sausage, Shrimp and Grits Biscuits a try? Or perhaps a Red Beans and Rice Soup is more your jam? This Po’Boy Salad is still my one and only. Finally, what’s a Mardi Gras celebration without an actual Po’Boy? This Fried Shrimp version is in slider form, making perfect for parties!

I have such a profound love of doughnuts that I’m sure I’ve written about it more than I should on this blog, but it’s a love that will never die because I’ll never say no to a doughnut. I’ve always stated that the tried and true traditional fried version will always be 100 times better than the baked variety, and I still hold to that statement. These Strawberry Rhubarb Doughnut Muffins, however, are here to change my mind, and I’d be lying if I said they weren’t doing a good job of convincing me. They’re soft and moist muffins dipped in melted butter, rolled around in cinnamon sugar and filled with a delicious homemade quick strawberry rhubarb jam. They’re a doughnut dream come true and you need to make them ASAP. The jam is from this 
New York cheesecake meets doughnut and there’s honestly nothing better than this moment right here, right now, and us discussing this incredible creation. I have to admit that the idea came to me last week when I saw a photo on

Sometimes I’m faced with the dilemma of having to choose between a doughnut or a cookie. Believe me, it’s one of life’s toughest decisions, and one that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.
