    This is one of my favorites. I never thought something so healthy and easy could taste so good. My husband and I ate on this for days and it's even better reheated. It was too spicy for my young daughters, now I set some aside before I add the creole seasoning. They love it! I highly recommend this recipe.

    This dish works well for our family. Our daughter is a vegitarian and my husband and I are on atkins. As long as we don't eat the rice, it works great! The leftovers lasted only three days!

    No, it's not like normal Jambalaya but with atkins, it's about as close as you can come!

    Thanks!
