After watching the Saints win the NFC championship, Lafayette went wild! There were lots of parties and then more parties, but the biggest one is coming right up, and is right around the corner, when the New Orleans Saints go to the SUPERBOWL! GEAUX SAINTS! I will be having friends and family over, for the BIG game, and have already started planning the menu. I love to make these favorite party recipes, whenever I am having guests for a casual party buffet . Cest bon, cher!
Jalapeno Cheese Bread * Seafood Jambalaya * Crab- Stuffed Mushrooms * Spinach and Crawfish Bread Bowl * Spicy Cajun Buffalo Wings * Mini Muffalettas * Mardi Gras Slaw * Creole Potato Salad * Fresh Fruit and Veggie Trays * And who knows what else!? I'll be adding more, as I go along! Bon Appetit!

Super Bowl and Mardi Gras parties just would not be the same without this fabulous Jalapeno Cheese Bread to compliment your party buffet. One of my favorite breads to make and eat is this buttery, hot, melt-in-your-mouth, jalapeno cheese bread! Oh cest bon, cher! Out of this world! Enjoy!
Jalapeno Cheese Bread
1 pkg. yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup lukewarm milk
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, eggs, salt, and 1 cup of flour.
Beat on low till mixed well, scraping bowl. Stir in remaining flour, cheese, pepper, and jalapenos. Beat for 2 minutes on medium, until dough thickens. Scrape bowl and cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, ( about 40 minutes). Beat down with a spoon, about 25 strokes. Grease a bundt or pull- apart bread pan and spread dough evenly into pan. Cover and return to a warm place and let rise until double, (about 45 minutes) Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Cest bon, cher!

First of all, let me thank you for the beignets. I'm saving that recipe of yours.
Now, this party sounds great too. We can practise with this and graduate to a full Mardi Gras extravaganza, right?
I need an occasion for a party.
Oh send me some of that bread and some mini muffalettas!!!
I'm making a big pot of gumbo and some artichoke bread!
Who Dat!
Yummy! What fun.
It all sounds DELICIOUS! I'm working on my menu, too.
Can't wait for the big game!
GEAUX SAINTS!
What a playoff game that was! Now we get to watch the Super Bowl in all its glory. The odds are on the Colts. I don't really have a favorite (Chargers aren't in it). Do you think the Saints will pull it off? Would be wonderful for the city and state.
Great stuff as always~ I'm excited to be visiting family during Mardi Gras weekend. My mom has already promised to make her tasty shrimp stew and potato salad for me. Can't wait for that good stuff....
Marguerite you call this “a casual party buffet”? I would call this a “Louisiana Gourmet Feast”. Your family and guests will be quite lucky to eat at your table, chère.
Wow! That bread looks delicious! I just made some gumbo the other day and the bread would have been great with that! Party sounds perfect! Go Saints!
Geaux Saints!!!!
I'll be cheering along with you, Cher!
Bonjour & Aloha,
Comfort Spiral
I'm in. No more Aints! Drew Brees a hometown boy around my town. Now that you've provided the menu, I suppose I should have the Super Bowl party - except everyone complains because we don't have a big screen. Oh, well. Food will be awesome!
Good luck with the Bowl. They show it live on UK TV now, but it's a bit late for us old guys to spend 4 hours on a game with those Cheerleaders.
Oh, Marguerite! I wish I was coming to your superbowl party!! We are for sure rooting for the Saints. Sey, who dat?
great post!
What a fun day is coming for all!

Both the jalapeno bread and the Mardi Gras cole slaw are really great dishes to enjoy for SuperBowl-Awesome.

I'm just catching up - congrats on those Saints - and won't the guests at your house be happy. And you last post on biegnet - my mouth is literally watering. It doesn't help that it is late and dinner was long ago.
Hi Marguerite,
I'm Brazilian, so I beg you to forgive the mistakes of my poor English!!
I've found your name amid those of my weblog's followers. I loved very much to find you out there!!
When I created that weblog (Memories of Ebrael and Joici), wanted to share with world my ideas, experiences and perceptions of may daily reality.
About Cheese Breads, I really love them. The most Brazilians love them, too. Search for the Cheese Breads made at Minas Gerais, a Brazilian State. I guess you'd enjoy them as well as me!!
Kisses and have a nice week!!
I love the look of that cheese bread. I have a great weakness for anything made or flavoured with cheese!
Nuts in May
Great food and ocassion - I know you will enjoy! I really must learn the rules of American Football. I know some but most of the game baffles me - I'll look it up on the internet. See you soon ~ Eddie
Dave- Merci, cher! And you got dat right, it's all going to be a blast! Wish you were here, but, honestly, going to the Virgin Islands is not a bad consolation!
Gypsy- Hey lady, I know that you can, with all of your great memories from growing up in Louisiana! You're welcome, cher! We Dat!
Velva- Merci beaucoup for your kind comment! Both recipes are fab, but the slaw recipe is out of this world! Thanks for coming by!
Nancy- Thanks for the nice compliments! I aim to please my guests and so, their wish is my command. So glad you like the beignet recipe. They are really easy to make and I hope that you try them.
Ebrael- Bonjour and welcome to Cajun Country! It's such a pleasure to meet you! Merci beaucoup for your sweet comment and for joining my site! Also, thanks for the tip about the Brazilian cheese bread, I will check it out! Hope you have a great week, too!
Maggie- Thanks, so glad you like it! I love cheese, too and this bread is so good when sliced and made into grilled cheese sandwiches. Merci for visiting!
Eddie- So good to hear from you, cher! I am not so much of a football fan, either, but with the Saints playing in the Superbowl, it does add a lot of excitement to the game! And of course, I love the tail-gaiting parties! Lots of great food and fun!
this party sounds great too. We can practise with this and graduate to a full Mardi Gras extravaganza,
