I had a major hankering for jambalaya this week. Not the “add sausage to rice mix” but the real deal. I threw this together and called it amazing. You can beat how easy it is – throw everything in the crock pot and forget about it until 30 minutes before you serve it!

Thanks for the party and for featuring me! Have a great day!
Pretty darn good, I even ate some shrimp. Not to mention it makes the house smell good while cooking.
Thanks for featuring my Chorizo Quesadillas! The Jamalaya looks wonderful!
Awesome! Let me know how you like it!
I did! Thanks for inviting me!
You too! Thanks for popping over!
It did smell amazing.
No problem! I can’t wait to try your recipe! I just found a place where we can buy chorizo – its rough living in a small farming community, sometimes! LOL.
Thanks for linking up. Hope to see you again next week 🙂
