"I've always loved the flavors of jambalaya but can rarely enjoy it because I hate seafood. SO I created my own New Orleans-style jambalaya without seafood, just sausage and chicken."

Wow, this was incredible. I used pork andouille sausage and added a generous amount of cayenne pepper since we like spicy food and it was fantastic.

You forgot to mention the scallions in the cooking process...

Being from Louisiana I like jambalaya also.I make it using pork chops and I sometimes add sliced cajun sausage.A very good cold weather dish and filling.Smells up the house in a good way.Thanks for your version,I will try it soon. I tried this and really like it,I halved it tho.I put sausage and shrimp for me in one half and the other I left as is for bf.We both enjoyed it very much.

I try to tend a lot to their tastes (she likes traditional comfort foods and he prefers spicer fare) and I am very health concious. I am also an avid baker and run my own bakery business when I'm not at school so I am always looking for and creating new bakery recipes.
