Jambalaya (GF & DF)
Whenever this meal is served for dinner, my entire family is happy! And, if I say so myself, it’s delicious. It encompasses all the textures and flavours needed to create a special dining experience. Good for any day of the week or Tuesdays for Mardi Gras. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does.
