Cajun Jambalaya seems a bit overwhelming at first, when you see the list of ingredients, but it takes very little effort to put it all together in about 30 minutes and the flavor is divine!
We prepare all of our veggies at the beginning of the week when we first purchase them, so they are vacuum sealed in mason jars cut up already for salads or to throw together meals like this one…
