Fambalaya

Yay for crock pots! Even semi broken ones.  The handles on my cover came off, so now I have to trickily pry it open with a spatula or other device and avoid the 3rd-degree-burning steam that comes out. It's okay. I have the skills.

Here's another recipe I edited for my own liking. About a year ago, I tried looking up a crock pot recipe for Jambalaya and came across Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya. I made it and liked it, but it is most definitely not Jambalaya. This is why I now call it my Fambalaya (fake jambalaya) recipe.


I changed all the meat to chicken and added garlic and baby carrots... because that's what I like. When I made it yesterday, I put around 2 teaspoons of Tony's in it. That adds a lot of sodium though, so I think I'll leave that spice for after it is cooked next time.

It makes 11 cups worth of food, so that's how I divided the servings. The picture (which I ate! (pictures are tasty (especially pictures of this recipe))) is 2 cups of the crock pot and then 1 cup of brown rice, which was around 590 calories.

It was GRRRRREAT.
