I have never eaten jambalaya until this evening. But I was excited to make it because it has lots of good stuff that I like. Rice. Shrimp. Ham. And Ben loves tomatoes so I had high hopes for this recipe. After reading the Tell All I decided to substitute Italian Turkey Sausage for the ham after someone suggested it. I love turkey sausage as well and though that it sounded good.The recipe can be found HERE. It is a really good one. There are plenty of spices that give it a little zip but not too much zip that your mouth is on fire. After reading some of the reviews on the recipe others thought that it was bland and needed something else. I am not sure if my spicier turkey sausage gave it that or not. But I thought it had plenty of spice. I also liked that the boys ate a little of it too. They sure didn't scarf it down but they certainly tried it and are getting more daring. They actually liked the turkey sausage much better before it went into the jambalaya.
Ben thought that it was good and Ellie was another winner in our house again tonight. He is even looking forward to the leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. Check out what all the others Elliers did with jambalaya too.
Next Thursday: Vegetable Cheese Strata (another new thing for me!)

That's a successful recipe when everyone eats it and enjoys it! It looks delicious! Good idea to sub turkey sausage.
Glad the turkey sausage substitution was a winner!
I've never made or eaten a strata, so next week's recipe will be a new one for me too :)
Glad to hear this one was a winner. We really liked it too. I used chicken sausage in mine, I bet using the sausage instead of ham really helps with the flavor.
I thought this was awesome, albeit I put in more than a few drops of habenero sauce (I am a masochist).
How great is it when kids try something "different" and even "kind of" like it?
It was a hit in our house as well.
Def. one to try again.
We really liked it too. Yours looks delicious, as does your ice cream!
I certainly thought I was using turkey sausage that was out of the casing. Big mistake, but it still tasted good. I definitely want to give it another try, though.
What a Grand Idea! I will be trying trukey sausage.
Thanks for your wonderful recipe:)
