New Orleans Creole Jambalaya

13 Comments March 4, 2019 FrugalHausfrau

Mardi Gras is almost upon up, and Mardi Gras always makes me think of New Orleans and New Orleans always makes me think of Jambalaya. See how my mind works? It’s all about the food, lol! And while my fave Jambalaya Recipe is already on my site, one made with a roux (that’s said to be the Cajun-style) I really wanted to up my game this year and perfect a Creole-style Jambalaya, the tomato-y kind. Yeah, I’ had to get out of my (very delish) Cajun rut and make this New Orleans Creole Jambalaya for Mardi Gras this year.

Ok, so do you ever fall in love with a dish at first sight? I did, and these Grilled Thai Beef Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce called to me from the moment I first saw them until I had them on my plate. Heck, there are a couple still in the fridge and they just won’t be quiet! Shush now, I already ate too many of you!!

When I lived in the Southwest, I used to miss “Baked Beans.” It seemed that anytime I ate out and ordered beans as a side, they were either Cowboy Beans Frijoles Charros or some kind of Barbecued Baked Beans. Now that I’m in the Midwest, I miss those Cowboy Beans. Go figure, huh? Not anymore, though!

If you follow me, you’ve all heard me talking about my folks (my favorite octogenarians, I call them) and their love for steak. I think it’s rubbed off on me! I can’t always just have plain ol’ steak, so I’m always coming up with variations I think the folks will like. We all fell hard for this Carne Asada Steak Tacos recipe.

I have a little secret. I’ve been holding out on you. See, I’ve been making these Hasselback au Gratin Potatoes for months now and never posted them. They’re amazing, they’re gorgeous and they’re amazing. Oh, I said that already. Well, I can’t say it enough. As a matter of fact, every time I come across this post and see these pics, bad as they are, my mouth starts to water! These are a must make in my book.
