Easy Jambalaya

One of my favorite go to dishes to make these days is Jambalaya. Now that we're Texified (I swear that's a term!), we usually have most of the ingredients on hand, so it's easy to put together on a day where I haven't planned dinner.

I found this recipe about 4 years ago in Family Circle magazine. After it was given the thumbs up by Jason, I ripped it out and stuck it in my little green recipe folder. 

Here's what you'll need to get started:

You can also add in crawfish or shrimp if you want it to feel a bit more Cajun. I'll also add in an additional small can of green chiles if I'm in the mood for a little more spice!

Below you'll find the actual recipe along with a link to take you to a printable version, as well as nutritional and WWPlus points info.
