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!)
