Jambalaya

Jambalaya: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

This recipe can from some store I had visited with my parents many years ago when I was home for a visit. I can not remember the name of the store, but I do know they had a free sample along with the recipe. After trying the sample I knew I needed the recipe.




When I made it for my husband for the first time, it became an instant favorite of ours. It is so delicious!
