Cajun New Year's Day Buffet

If Christmas is over, can New Year's and Mardi Gras be far behind? I just love to ring in the New Year with a New Year's Day buffet, filled with sinfully delicious Cajun favorites. And of course, a batch of my Cajun Bloody Mary's for those guests who stayed out too late on New Year's Eve. Here are a few of the delights that I'll be serving my family and friends on my New Year's Day buffet. All scrumptious, cher, and out of this world! Bon appetit and Happy New Year!!!

APPETIZERS
