This is a guest recipe! .

I love cooking from scratch when I can, but there are some days when quick and easy is a must.

Zatarain’s jambalaya mix is delicious right out of the box, and when it goes on sale I stock up for this quick and frugal meal. Pair it with a green salad for a perfect dinner!

    I love Zatarain’s jambalaya. I make mine with a combo of chicken, sausage and shrimp, just a little of each though. I also add okra, canned tomatoes and top with diced green onions. Delicious!

    Have you ever had Zatarain’s Cheesy Jambalaya mix? Its a million times better than the plain. I love to keep a box in the pantry and sausage in the fridge for a last minute dinner. I throw in whatever vegetables are sitting in my fridge– usually a tomato, some green onions and sometimes some green pepper. The only downside is this dinner is very high in salt

    My family loves Zatarains too!! I always feel like I am giving my family a home-cooked meal on the quick and cheap. In regards to the high salt, they do sell a low-sodium brand but it is often not on sale when there is one.

    Selling its devices unlocked in the US allowed Nokia to retain its full set of features without having any added
    software on their phones. 3 features involves actual Push Notifications from Ping and the ability to do Facebook relevant features such
    as liking and posting songs. 2 update, just as it could
