Left-Over Pork Roast Jambalaya
"I wanted to make something special out of my left-over pork roast and improvised on a Jambalaya recipe I had used from a Simple and Delicious magazine - the family loved the results. This is not a spicy dish as I had toddlers eating it too but it could very easily be spiced up."

i loved making this quick n easy dish...I did add some spice by adding about a teaspoon of chili powder and then improvised by adding dry basil leaves since I didnt have bay leaves or thyme....it is scrumptious!! Thank you! -
This is one of the best recipes I've seen for leftover roast. It was very simple and very tasty. Thanks for sharing! -
This was so simple and good. I added cajun seasoning as we like spicy. It left a good taste in my mouth. The only downside was that I was tempted to overeat :-)
