Chicken Sausage Jambalaya
Thursday, February 05, 2015From our skinny table to yours ...
As much as we LOVE to eat healthy, we are totally guilty of comfort food cravings ... especially during the winter. And apparently Phil saw his shadow this past Monday so we still have 6 more weeks of winter, exactly what we wanted to hear ;)
This was SO good! Even the hubs approved saying he actually preferred our 'healthy' jambalaya over other jambalaya recipes he's had out ... WIN!!
