It has been a while since our last post, but so much has happened! Simone is now a married woman! Simone and Joe tied the knot in earlier this month and are now Mr. and Mrs.! The wedding ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was a really great time. Now that things are mostly back to reality, we are excited to get back to our blog! Our next adventure is a couple of weeks away, so until then, we wanted to share another recipe with you that you may want to make at home. And the best part of this recipe? It is easy, delicious, and all of the cooking is done by the crockpot! This blog post is all about Slow Cooker Jambalaya.
We both really enjoy jambalaya; and in fact, it is one of Simone's favorite dishes. Simone is a subscriber to Budget Bytes and received a Slow Cooker Jambalaya recipe one day and could not resist! After reviewing the recipe, Simone decided to add two more boneless, skinless chicken thighs because hunger is real. This recipe yielded a lot more food than expected, which was perfect for meal prepping for the week. After hearing about the success that Simone had with this Jambalaya, Damien decided to make it a few weeks later. The thing Damien enjoyed most about the recipe was that it really didn't take long to prep the ingredients, and most of these items are staples of the pantry. The only change that Damien made to the recipe was adding in a little bit of hot sauce to the dish for some extra bold flavor. And Simone is right -- the recipe yields a lot of food, so you can either have enough for the week or you can freeze some of it to eat later. How great is that?!
Simone loves spicy food, so she decided to bake Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Muffins along with the Slow Cooker Jambalaya. The recipe and the muffins were so perfect and delicious -- definitely worth trying these out for yourself!
After enjoying this Jambalaya, we both agree that when we make it again, a fun spin on the recipe would be to potentially add shrimp and/or crab meat to it for a Seafood Jambalaya. Yep, we know, that sounds delicious!
We have included pictures of the recipe, some of the cooking steps, and the final product of the Slow Cooker Jambalaya below (the link to the recipe for the Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Muffins is included above). If you love jambalaya, we would highly recommend you try this recipe soon. We don't think you'll be disappointed at all! And this is just in time for winter weather season! Until next time, treat yourself and take...or make...a food adventure today!
