I love easy and delicious recipes, and this one doesn’t disappoint!
This Paleo Jambalaya recipe was sent to me from a friend (thanks Kristy!) who said it was delish and easy to make, and she was right. It takes about a half hour to 40 minutes to prepare, so you can be sitting down for dinner in less than an hour. Season with hot sauce to suit your tastes, and feel good about serving this to your family!
One note – you can use mashed cauliflower in place of rice to keep it MyPaleo friendly. Enjoy!
