Creole Jambalaya

Planning a Mardi Gras celebration? Our weekly sale from February 28th – March 6th celebrates Creole cuisine and we think you’ll love this jambalaya recipe! It comes from a staff member that grew up in the South and has fond memories of the food and cultural traditions surrounding the holiday. This jambalaya is a bit soupier than some traditional versions of the dish, but this is the way her family always made it so that there was plenty of liquid to sop up with a crusty baguette.
