Feb 10, 2016 at 1:05 pmJambalaya has never been my favorite because of what goes in it. But everything you make on this blog just looks outstanding and I need to try it.

Feb 10, 2016 at 4:21 pmWhat I love about jambalaya is that you just toss everything in the pot and that’s it. So packed with flavor and quite filling too. I also like that it’s spicy. Thanks for the recipe!

Feb 10, 2016 at 6:32 pmThis looks DELICIOUS! I wonder if you could use Italian seasoning, instead of all of the other seasonings?

Feb 12, 2016 at 11:17 amThis looks so good! I don’t usually have Jambalaya because a lot of places put shrimp in it as well and I am allergic. Thanks for this seafood-free recipe I’ll definitely try it!
