More Sharing from our Louisiana Trip
I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
If you were to talk to the boys, they’d say that no trip to Louisiana would be complete without beignets.
The place we used to visit in the railroad station went out of business, but there are a few others in my hometown which have opened up since our last visit. The boys lamented that I only bought a few servings of mini ones to share one afternoon.
Papa decided they needed SUGAR before boarding the plane home and the New Orleans International Airport had a small food court area near the ticketing areas where you could get your beignet fix.
For part of the long journey home, they went on for hours about discussed wanting to open a beignet and pizza shop where they’d offer discounts for family members. They’d make the beignets and I’d be in charge of the homemade pizza. Glad to know they think my pizza is worthy of selling to the masses!
Maybe when the holidays are over we’ll try our hand at homemade beignets…..
Lived in La for 40 years,and have never been to New Orleans…i gotta go huh?
I’d definitely go when tourist season is not high. I’ll be sharing more SE Louisiana photos soon, Kelly, as we just visited family again last month. We even took the boys to the French Quarter for the first time.
What fun! I would love to visit New Orleans one day. Since we are not that far from it- I am hoping it will happen soon.
Beignets were on my list when we were in New Orleans. Didn't happen. We fled as fast as we could! LOL Actually, we just didn't have enough time. There are a few things I'd like to go back for- particularly a tour through the French Quarter. 🙂
