The Only Meal You Need to Make This Winter.

A few months ago I got this jambalaya recipe as my weekly Garnish & Gather meal and shared it with my family.  It's quickly become our favorite and a staple meal at our house.  Family members request it when they come over for dinner.  It's quick and easy to make.

To be 100% honest with you guys, I made it last night for my weekly bachelor viewing party.  I tripled the recipe so I would have plenty to photograph for you this morning, and it was almost all gone!  This is about a half a cup, and I had to use all my best photography skills to get this picture!  I'm sad I don't have leftovers for lunch, but I'm sure I'll make it again next week ;)

The secret ingredient is the Drunken Tomatoes from Doux South.  They are available on the Doux South website as well as Star Provisions in Atlanta.
