Louisiana Jambalaya
I had a neighbor who was from louisiana. he used to make this all the time. i love any kind of rice dish, but i can't eat this if it is too hot. my husband likes it hot, so he seasons his on his plate and i can eat mine lightly seasoned. that is the good thing about this recipe--the pepper seasonings do not have to be cooked into it. you could also add jalapeños if you like and cook them into it--if you like hot stuff.
