Surprisingly, I had all of the ingredients for jambalaya, so that's what I made (with my grocery store trip planned for today, I have a little bit of nothing). I made it without the cajun seasoning hoping the kids would like it, and believe it or not, they both ate small portions of it. I thought it was a little bland and tasteless, but with enough seasoning, it wasn't bad. It just tasted more like a kielbasa, rice, and tomatoes dish. I like my food with a kick, so I definitely recommend cooking it with the cajun seasoning rather than sprinkling it on after it's finished. I've posted it before, but here's the recipe - it's one of our favorites! (PS: the photos are old, but are good ones of the dish in it's "proper" form.)
