This Easy Gumbo Recipe Is Perfect For Celebrating Mardi Gras
GUMBO. Because Mardi Gras is in less than a week! Wish I was in N’awlins for it, but this homemade gumbo will have to do.
Hello boo! How are we doing? It’s mid-week, Friday is almost here. Hang in there. Though I realize that always waiting for the weekendmeans that you miss out on everything in between, but oh well. Friday will always be better than Monday.
Oh oh oh! Another key element to Fridays? Going to bed late and sleeping in on Saturday mornings. Yahhhssss! And making gumbo! Why not?!
I Love How Quick And Easy This Gumbo Is To Make
Did you know that traditional gumbo takes hours to make?! NOT this guy! It’ll be done in like 30 minutes. However, I do feel like winter begs for slow cooked stews, but ain’t nobody got time for that. Unless, it’s in the slow cooker. Then I’m cool with it. BUT to stand above a stove stirring every 4 minutes for 4 hours? Naaah. I’llstick to thisChicken and Sausage Gumbo which is so basic and ridiculously delicious.
