I had blogged another jambalaya recipe a few years ago which had potatoes in it.  This version, in my opinion is a lot better.  There is plenty of heat and the flavors of the creole spice are a treat for the palate.  And did I say so so so easy?  This was 25 mins of prep and cooking time.  This was close to my Mom's but I think mine has bit more heat.  I think I'll bring her some over tomorrow.  Serve with corn bread (gluten free preferred) for optimal enjoyment!
