Ready for a New Year that feels like home? We’re trading velvet ropes for porch lights and diving into what 2026 looks like when you build it around Cajun tradition, real food, and habits that stick. From the first king cake crumbs to the last parade horse, we map the season in Acadia Parish, where Mardi Gras stretches beyond a single day and rolls through Church Point balls, boucheries, and masked riders in tall capuchon hats. If you’ve only seen the New Orleans version, this is your invite to the cozy, communal side of carnival.

We talk practical joy: the New Year’s plate that locals swear by—pork roast with rice and gravy, smothered cabbage for money, black-eyed peas for luck—and a no-soak Instant Pot method that delivers tender peas in 30 minutes. We also get honest about kitchen quirks, like the “new plastic” smell on a fresh pressure cooker and when to trust your nose versus the recipe. Food becomes the throughline for a softer approach to goals: more home cooking, a little less bun, smarter dressing on salads, and chip strategies that actually work when the pantry is calling your name.

There’s small-town color all over this one: fireworks tents popping up roadside, the debate over dressing up versus dozing off by nine, and the way dogs remind us that celebration is loud and loving and sometimes messy. We balance it with a plan: check AcadiaTourism.com for a full calendar of Mardi Gras events and a roundup of king cake spots so you can make the most of a shorter season. Joy without pressure. Tradition without pretense. A year that starts with community, a warm kitchen, and the kind of rituals you’ll want to repeat.

If this vibe is your vibe, hit follow, share with a friend who loves Mardi Gras, and leave a quick review telling us your New Year food ritual—what’s on your plate when the fireworks fade?

SPEAKER_03:

But why it stinks? I won't eat out of it. Threw out some I threw some meat that was like I was cooking in there because I was like, that's yucky.

SPEAKER_02:

You wasted a meat? I think the meat was bad too, though. So I just I just put that up. It's in your head because you smelled the plastic. That's you so now you think that it wasn't the plastic or the meat. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's dive into real conversations about life, motherhood, and a little inspiration to brighten your day.

SPEAKER_02:

Welcome back to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. It is the new year.

SPEAKER_03:

I can't believe that. 2026 is here. What do you have in store for us, 2026?

SPEAKER_02:

That's also that's that's scary, but it's also an exciting thing to say.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. I don't know how to feel about it.

SPEAKER_02:

No, because we just have to take one day at a time. Don't think about what the whole year has in store, because that could be overwhelming. Yeah. Let's think about what today has in store. That's it. And today we're gonna start out by thanking Acadia Parish, Cajun Harvest Country. This is our grand sponsor for the month of uh January. Yeah. Y'all, around here, it's it's almost Marty Girl season. Y'all, it starts early this year. Well, it always starts January 6th, okay? Is like the beginning of August. You know that January 6th. Yeah, that's the epiphany. That's when it starts.

SPEAKER_03:

I just guess I don't know these things.

SPEAKER_02:

That's when kincake season starts. I know that.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, when it starts appearing everywhere, then I know. Okay, it's probably you know it's kinkake season.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, and it's a short season this year. So like Mordi Girl is February 17th, which is early. That's early. So you gotta get all your parading and rodeing and partying in in a short amount of time. So you might as well go and start planning, okay? In Acadia Parish, we have so many things to do during Mordi Girl season. And if you want to know all the details, you can go to Acadia Tourism.com slash Mordi Girl, and they have a whole calendar list of things going on, where the Mordi Girl balls, the boucheries, the even have a little ball in church point. We do. It's even on this paper.

SPEAKER_03:

It is on this paper. February 7th. Not in real Mordi Girl ball in church point. A vibrant evening of dinner, dancing cocktails, and Cajun glamour. And who's gonna be glamorous at that ball? I I think I should be glamorous.

SPEAKER_02:

You will be, because my girl's on the court. Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm I'm I'm always have a good time at the ball, but I'm gonna I'm gonna try to be a little extra special. This year will be extra special. Literally this year. Yes. Um, but yeah, we got balls, we got uh Fedo Does, we got boucheties, we got the Curie de Mortigral, which is the chasing chicken chasing. Chicken chasing Mortigral, and we have like big, beautiful Mordi Gras like you probably are expecting to around this area.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I mean, if you want like a New Orleans style parade, the closest you're gonna get around here is Lafayette. Yeah. But if you come to Acadia Parish, you're gonna get the traditional style Mortigirl parades, the Cajun traditional styles. Nice and cozy. That is uh, you know, uh masked riders with their tall capuchon hats and all their costumes on horseback, and you might find them chasing chickens to make a gumbo and stuff. You it's it's not just like a funny thing, it's tradition around here. Yeah, and it's a big deal.

SPEAKER_03:

So and if you've never seen that, I'm gonna need you to go to Acadia Parish Acadia Tourism.com because you need to line it up. Line it up. You don't want to be a good one. It's definitely a bucket list thing.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes. So thank y'all for being the sponsor of Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. Okay, so let's discuss about uh like New Year's, you know, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day just passed. Like what what do you typically do for New Year's? You go out?

SPEAKER_03:

Uh absolutely not.

SPEAKER_02:

I already knew the answers to that, but no, for the sake of conversation.

SPEAKER_03:

And I know. Well, we we have, you know, we have gone out. The last time I went out for New Year's Eve was 2020, and we all know how that turned out. Started off the year on a bad. We had like a roaring 20s party, and it was just me, husband, and uh my Peggy and them, and we all dressed in the 20s, and it was Coco Co. So it's a good thing. And we ended up spending the night over there, I think. We had a great time, but it's y'all's fault. You should have stayed in. We wouldn't have had that whole thing wouldn't have happened. I don't think I've I've gone anywhere since then. Besides your house, I think one year we went to your house and pop fireworks and we went home by nine.

SPEAKER_02:

Yep. You know, that's the kind of going out that I like to do. Go to somebody's house, eat, maybe a little fireworks for the kids after it gets dark, which is at like six. Yeah. Okay, and then you go home. By nine o'clock, you're in bed. I don't, that's the kind of New Year's I like. I like to ring in the New Year's asleep. Me too. Me too. Then wake up the next day and and you have what you eating.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay, then we eating, because that's all we're doing. Yeah, eating, you know. We we my mama always makes a cabbage casserole. Oh. It's like a rice with cabbage and tomatoes, and yeah. So like a cabbage roll, but like disassembled. Disassembled, you know, easy. Lazy. She makes it in her rice pot.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

And then, and it's so good. And then uh black eye peas. Um, and some bread. Like it's probably the most boring meal. What kind of meat? Cornbread. You want to do a roast? Oh, maybe a roast, yeah. Okay, yeah. She'll cook a roast.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, pork roast, smothered cabbage, black eye peas. That's the three things you got to have. And then some people say you have to have cornbread too, because it like represents the gold. Like, yeah. Did you know the things that they represent? The money and the look. The money is the cabbage, and the look is the peas. I don't know if the meat represents anything except eating. And we need protein. Yeah, exactly. Piggy, piggy, piggy. You're gonna eat all year.

SPEAKER_03:

Fat as a whole. Let's go with that.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, I hope not. Too fat, but I do like to eat. Uh-uh. Let us know in the comments what y'all are eating on New Year's.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. How do you? I know there's cabbage, but how do you fix it? You know? How do you fix your cabbage? Is it a cabbage roll? That sounds pretty cumbersome to me. Yeah, I'm not rolling up no cabbage leaves.

SPEAKER_02:

Like that's just a labor of love. You got to blanch the cabbage so you can take the leaves off without them tearing up. So it's gotta be like not cooked too much. Gotta be cooked perfectly to take that off. That's a lot. And you ground meat and you do you mix the ground meat and the rice before with the tomatoes and then put it in, or do you like, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. See, I've never done one. Me neither. Because I I don't want to fool with it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't want to fool with that. But Amy knows how to make them. Amy makes cabbage rolls. My nanny made cabbage rolls. And then you put like some sauce on top, tomato sauce on top, and bake it. Yeah. You could bake it. My nanny made hers in the crock pot.

SPEAKER_02:

But disassembled or rolled up. Rolled up. Oh.

SPEAKER_03:

She rolled those babies up. Okay. Put them in the crock crock pot. You know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

And everybody gets a happy little package on their plate. It is.

SPEAKER_03:

Kinda wish I had one right now. Yeah. I haven't had a cabbage roll in forever. Maybe one day we'll learn how to make them.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. But we just do the lazy way and we just smother down some cabbage. That's it.

SPEAKER_03:

And y'all just eat like cabbage. It's like a side.

SPEAKER_02:

You know, it's a side. So you have your pork roast.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Then you have and rice, because you have rice and gravy. Yeah. Gravy from the roast. And then smothered cabbage on the side, and then black-eyed peas on the side.

SPEAKER_03:

Call it shit. It's yellow.

SPEAKER_02:

The cabbage. Uh-huh. I mean, it's like yellow, sauteed down. It's down, down. My daddy, well, okay. My daddy likes I grew up eating it like smothered. I'm talking like almost mush. It was cooked down so much. Because it gets sweet almost. And some people add a little sugar to it. I don't know if my daddy does that, but like he cooks it in like bacon grease. Okay. And so you cook that way down. Now, my mother-in-law is a quick cook on her cabbage. Still got a slight little bit of crunch to it. And me, I like to eat it both ways. So I'm not gonna turn down either way.

SPEAKER_03:

Sometimes I got somebody that brought the uh coleslaw.

SPEAKER_02:

I like coleslaw. It doesn't belong for New Year's, though.

SPEAKER_03:

It doesn't belong.

SPEAKER_02:

No, that doesn't belong at New Year's. But I I do like a coleslaw, but no.

unknown:

It's gonna be cooked.

SPEAKER_03:

No, she was for real. That doesn't belong at New Year's. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02:

No black eyes. I had just made black eyes recently, so from for the first time, not canned. Oh dried black eyes. You put that in the plug in. No, I put it in my instant pot. Well, I sauteed some smoked sausage. Okay, cook Cajun traditions, of course. And uh beans, uh you put some broth or water, some to you, but I put like a big container of broth in there. Some Zotico chop chop. Season it, like Jamie's season it, and you cook that on your instant pot for 30 minutes. Perfect. 30 minutes, perfect no soaking. No soaking.

SPEAKER_03:

I know, but I might have to go get me a pack now. Yep. I but beans, I I'm telling you, my but let's talk about my Instapot while we add it. Why is my Instant Pot? I feel like it smells funny. When it's on? Like it smells burnt? No, it just smells like new plastic. And I only use it like once and I don't want to use it again. I know I need to use it to get the smell out of it, I guess. But I'm wondering if I'm burning some plastic or something that I didn't remove. Did you take the some packing material? You took the pot out? I mean, I did all that. But why it stinks? I won't eat out of it. Threw out some I threw some meat that was like I was cooking in there because I was like, that's yucky.

SPEAKER_02:

You wasted a meat? I think that meat was bad too, though. So I just I just put that up. It's in your head because you smelled the plastic. That's you, so now you think that's the same. So was it the plastic or the meat?

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02:

Dang.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm telling you, uh me and my my Instant Pot are not getting along right now because I had to buy a new one. My old one, I know that. But it broke on me because I used it too often. Now I just cook everything on the stove.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, if you're gonna cook dried beans on the stove, you know, plan for a couple of hours. Days. It feels like days, but it's really not that bad.

SPEAKER_03:

But yeah, a couple of hours of just slow. I'm just gonna invite you over and you're gonna tell me what's wrong with my uh instant pot. I'll I'll give it a smell for you. Give it a little smil for it.

SPEAKER_02:

I'll diagnose it based on smell.

SPEAKER_03:

See, I I knew you could do it. I knew you were good for something. I know I knew it was you I needed to bring this problem to.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, what a problem to have. That makes me sad because I use my Instapot all the time.

SPEAKER_03:

I know. So can you imagine?

SPEAKER_02:

I can't imagine the life you live in. That's why you women using canned beans. Spin around wheezing. And it's all I need like a smokey lady, too. Like smoked in packs. I know. If you're wondering what's going on, we're both getting over some crud.

SPEAKER_03:

And so And listen, it's giving you all the sound effects right now, I'm sure. Okay, so enough about that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so I don't go out on New Year's. I mean, I don't know if I ever have gone out like parties. You never party out of somebody's house. I never went to like the club or nothing or a bar, you know. Yeah, no. Somebody's house.

SPEAKER_03:

Drink alcohol out of people's houses. At people's houses. You spend a night. Uh no. Probably should have. Probably should have. I don't know. I don't remember too much of New Year's other bonfars. Yeah. I like a good New Year's Eve bonfart. People's house, though. Yeah. When I was in college, we just.

SPEAKER_02:

But you know how like you see people dressing up in their pretty dresses, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Like going to parties.

SPEAKER_02:

No, not around here. Not around here.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know a person that does that. Of course, you know, I'm older, but I don't know a person that does that. People on Instagram be doing that. They do. And they look like they're having a great time. Yeah, but I'm I'm alright.

SPEAKER_02:

Are they really though? Because they probably can't wait to get home and put their slippers on and their robes.

SPEAKER_03:

Like, and there's like a there's like a whole aesthetic around New Year's Eve for the Instagram. Yes. Like gold and and silver sparkles. Sparkles in black. Everybody wears black. Oh. Actually, I have a dress that would be perfect for it. Maybe. You could dress up at home.

SPEAKER_02:

Maybe I already dressed up as home because I mean already happened.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Maybe I know you did.

SPEAKER_02:

Jesus. We're not always professional.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh well. It is what it is. Yep. But I do. That that dress that I wore for Palooza. Yeah. It's sparkling black. Perfect.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Well, you could put that on and just maybe I think maybe you already did. Took a picture at your house.

SPEAKER_03:

I will did.

SPEAKER_02:

You just for you. We didn't see that. I already saw it.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

I cannot deal. All right. So what do you do? Do you stay in? Are you the Instagram perfect person who buy who are you one of those people that goes to the store and buys those glasses that do this?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. You know? But what's it gonna be? 2026.

SPEAKER_03:

Maybe the six. The bottom of the six oh the bottom of the six. Oh, they all always come up with something clever.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Because I know they're not selling out of that stuff because I seen it in the uh in the um the restore. Yeah. So like the thrift store. They're not selling out of that. So there's not really a big market for that around here, I'm guessing. But what do you do? Do you have a party? Maybe, maybe you have a party.

SPEAKER_02:

What maybe you the host. You the host. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Everybody comes to your house for New Year's.

SPEAKER_02:

Tell us. Do you have a theme? What do you do?

SPEAKER_03:

What's this year's theme? What's 2026? Throw it in the mix, 2026.

SPEAKER_02:

Do you oh I like that air on you did? Do y'all have access to fireworks? Because imagine, you know, I wonder if this all like this all over the country. Around here, tents just be popping up spontaneously on the side of the road around this time of year for fireworks. But like maybe some places don't have that. You know?

SPEAKER_03:

And sometimes I'm confused by it. I'm like, dang, it's already time for fireworks. Two times a year, right? Fourth of July, New Year's. Christmas. Look, people go far for Christmas too. Because sometimes, uh sometimes I'm like, man, who is shooting out there?

SPEAKER_02:

We're trying to go to the city. And you hear that.

SPEAKER_03:

Mm-hmm. Who's shooting? Who's shooting in the city?

SPEAKER_02:

The big city in Church Point.

SPEAKER_03:

It's just fireworks, don't worry. You never know, though. You know? Could be, could not be, we don't know.

SPEAKER_02:

And get ready for the Facebook posts.

SPEAKER_03:

About the dogs. Oh, Lord, I can't. About people with their dogs. Be kind to the dogs. Don't don't uh fireworks because of the dogs. I feel like it's gonna be alright. They just boot one night, you know? They get a little scared. If I mean when it's lightning and thunder and you don't get all you know, you don't get all mad about it.

SPEAKER_02:

It's just the ones that they afraid they're gonna run away. The outside ones, because they'll say like the fireworks scared them and they ran and they got lost. Oh, so that. But if you got an inside dog, they're gonna be okay. Hold them close. You know, ta-ta.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Be good. My mom my mama had a thunder shirt for uh.

SPEAKER_02:

You remember Phoebe?

SPEAKER_03:

Phoebe didn't have no eyes. She had a thunder shirt that she would put on her so she wouldn't put poop.

SPEAKER_02:

It was like a little straight jacket type for a dog.

SPEAKER_03:

It was just a little jacket. I mean, but they marketed it as a as a lightning jacket or something. Thunder jacket. And she would put it on her because she gets scared and poop, you know.

SPEAKER_02:

They would really scare the mess out of her. Yeah. Oh, poor Phoebe.

SPEAKER_03:

Well. Just a little poop on the floor. Yep. She didn't run away. No. She wouldn't have found her way. Because she couldn't sing.

SPEAKER_02:

No. Of course she'd be.

SPEAKER_03:

Anyway. Anyway, so sorry if we offended you with that, but it's gonna be alright.

SPEAKER_02:

It'd be alright.

SPEAKER_03:

It'd be alright. Give him a little shake up. Make make them feel alive.

SPEAKER_02:

Hmm. What are the new year's things? Uh you did any any you got any resolutions?

SPEAKER_03:

Don't even come over here with that.

SPEAKER_02:

Already already knew the answer.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, I know. No. I don't I don't like to set myself up for failure.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't believe in that.

SPEAKER_03:

It's just too much. I used to like, you know, work on my spiritual fitness, I would say. Yeah. You know? I'm always trying to work on my spiritual fitness. But I just feel like if I say things, I end up, you know.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Does anybody have you ever kept a New Year's resolution? I did one time.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't think so, because I feel like anytime I've made them, if it's been like very vague and just kind of like and I don't hold myself accountable.

SPEAKER_03:

So you know the one time I did was whenever we started the gym. That was it. I started the gym and I I kept going for like four years. I was good. I was good. And then life. And then yeah. And then life life. So and then that didn't happen again. And now I'm could just cringe thinking about making that kind of big commitment again.

SPEAKER_02:

But we could do it together.

SPEAKER_03:

You already do it though.

SPEAKER_02:

No, I need to get better at it. I need to get back on track after my back injury and stuff. Foodly or like foodly for sure. I need a foodly goal. I need to start tracking those macros again.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, just another thing I gotta do. I know. I can barely remember to eat, and that's my problem.

SPEAKER_02:

And then when you do eat, you mange junk. Junk. Chippies. I like chips. No, I do too. I don't buy, I don't buy chips too much. Then how do we keep eating them?

SPEAKER_03:

You know, we have to be buying them at some point, you know. Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, man, it's been a rough day. I'll go get me a bag of munchies, and then next thing you know, it's not there anymore. The cheesy ones.

SPEAKER_02:

I keep saying that, like, I'm just gonna stop. Buying the stuff that I don't want my kids to eat. But then they still eat them. But you don't eat them. No, I don't.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm not. Because even if there's goldfish in the house, I'm like, I don't need a little something to take an edge off.

SPEAKER_02:

That don't do nothing for me. But if potato chips are around, that's different. Like, I don't. So uh if I buy potato chips for the kids, it's in those little bags from Sam's, you know, not a big bag. Because I can open that big bag and just go get a few.

SPEAKER_03:

Keep going.

SPEAKER_02:

But if it's in a pre-op, if it's in a single serve bag, then if I open that bag, I'm committing to eating the entire bag. So I'm like, no, don't you do it. Don't nope, we don't go do it.

SPEAKER_03:

Yep. That's how you're gonna get around. That's a loophole. Big bags. That's a no-no. Big bags are a no. Mm-hmm. Little bags. See, they don't bother me too. Because I'm like, I need two of those. Two little ones? Two. That's like a 90 cent nine cent bag. You remember? Well, I don't know how much they are now, but like back in the day, there was 99 cents. You can get a big bag. That's a yeah, that's not inflation has taken that down.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, I still call them the 99 cent bag. I get a whole box of like 50 assorted from Sam's.

SPEAKER_03:

That wouldn't last. That wouldn't last. My kids, oh my gosh, that would not last in our house. 50 of them, that's going in a week. Well. That's going in a week.

SPEAKER_02:

But are you eating them too though?

SPEAKER_03:

If they're there. Okay.

SPEAKER_02:

Well.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm gonna have one with a sandwich.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you have to have chips with a sandwich. Yeah. Well, what else is there to eat? Nothing because you're not cooking nothing. Well.

SPEAKER_03:

And here we are again.

SPEAKER_02:

Let's make our New Year's goal to just be cook and only eat what we cook.

SPEAKER_03:

That maybe I'll just follow your lead. Maybe you'll be hard on me, okay? Like, you want me to be?

SPEAKER_02:

Because I like to I like to make you happy.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, but you know, like when we go to Lafayette and stuff, and you're like, no, let's just eat when we get home, like a mom. And I'm like, oh, you know, fun. It's okay if you're not any fun. Sometimes I I like that you don't let me eat like that.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Maybe we'll do that. Or maybe we at least could eat a nice salad.

SPEAKER_02:

Salad is a slippery slope. Because you have to have dressing. Oh, well, just kill me if I can't have the dressing. Exactly. If I'm gonna eat a salad with yummy dressing, I might as well eat a pizza or a hamburger, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_03:

No, that's not the same. Calorically speaking, it's almost the same. Oh well. At least I get my roughage in.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, but you know, I feel like you could throw a little lettuce on that burger and still get some roughage and more protein. Protein is where it's at. That's what you need. No buns. Oh half of one. Okay. Take the the top one off. Deal. Deal.

SPEAKER_03:

All right. Well, let us know. What are you doing? Do you have any resolutions? Do you resolve not to resolve? Do you go? What are you working on? What you doing?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Are you working on yourself, your insides, your outsides? You're working on what you're doing this year.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know. I'm still, I still don't know me neither. All right. Well, thank y'all for listening to this um mindless foolery, foolery. Uh, and thank you, Acadia Parish, Cajun Harvest Arnold. Why can't I say this? This happens every time. Every single time. Acadia Paris, Acadia Parish, Cajun Harvest Country. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. If uh if you're not from Louisiana, you might think Mardi Gras just one day, but you already know we're partying. Okay. It's a whole season around. It's a whole season.

SPEAKER_02:

And um, and speaking of New Year's food resolutions, bad timing because it's king cake time.

SPEAKER_03:

It's kinkake time. And acadia tourism.com has all the parties you can go to.

SPEAKER_02:

And they have a list of all the king cake places that you can use. I know. I'm I'm sorry. This is part of that, like, I want to make you happy. So I have to tell you about this. You go on Acadia Tourism.com and they have a list of all the places in Acadia Parish you can get king cakes.

SPEAKER_03:

And you can give it up for Lent. There you go. You know, we'll give up the bad food for Lint. Here we go. We already fast forwarded. I know. Our resolution. But we gotta have some king cakes. So y'all go see what they got everywhere at Acadia Tourism.com slash Marty Girl. All the details are there. Plan it and eat it.
