    Jambalaya 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.

    Now this would be a really fun recipe to make. I’m definitely in the mood for a meal like this and it’s meaty enough for the guys!

    What 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!

    Jambalaya has been one of my favorite dishes forever. My grandmother is from Louisiana so it is something that we could make together.

    I love jambalaya but I’ve never tried making it at home. The ingredients look easy and I think it’s something my whole family would enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

    This 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!

    My brother-in-law makes a great jambalaya, but I’ve always been afraid to give it a try. After reading through your recipe though, I am definitely going to try it. Sounds wonderful and looks amazing!

    Thanks for Sharing.
