We're smack dab in the middle of January. For many people that means trying to adhere to their New Year's Resolutions to eat better, workout more and lose weight.

However, in New Orleans, January means Mardi Gras season. And that can lead to more eating and drinking, while parading and festivaling. That of course puts a crimp in those vows we make at the New Year to live healthier.

But not to despair! You can literally have your king cake and eat it to. You just might have to work a little harder for it.
