A TASTE OF NEW ORLEANS: CAFE DU MONDE BEIGNETS

Have you ever watched an animated movie and thought the food in the movie looked delicious?  I have!  Tiana's beignets in Disney's The Princess and the Frog attracted me from the get-go.  The thought of French donuts blanketed with powdered sugar was so majestic, I had to try it.

A month ago, I ventured to my nearest World Market and picked up a box of Cafe Du Monde's Beignet Mix straight from New Orleans, Louisiana.  I didn't have a chance to open the box until today, but I'm sure glad I waited!  All you have to do is follow the directions on the box and watch the magic happen.  One box makes two dozen beignets; I only used about a quarter of the mix today to make eight beignets.  You definitely get your money's worth in quantity and taste!

I don't think I could have felt anymore like Princess Tiana.  Beignets are seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten.  I highly recommend you try them too if you haven't already! :)

Note: The beignet mix and other Cafe Du Monde products can also be purchased online at http://shop.cafedumonde.com.

"A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP", BUT THIS JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE BITE.

Hi everybody! 

Welcome to "Heppy Tummy"!

I didn't think food and I would ever be anything more than what we already were, but everything changed in an instant.  This is my story.

One day I was laying down on my bed daydreaming about all the foodie adventures I wanted to go on, all the food I wanted to eat. A light bulb went off in my head and I thought to myself, "Since I like food so much, I should make a blog dedicated to food!" On February 12, 2013, "Heppy Tummy" was born. 

"Heppy Tummy" is solely dedicated to my foodie adventures, the food I devour, my life in the kitchen and the people I share these delicious moments with.  

Enjoy!

With love,
