Jambalaya, Corn Bread, Grilled Zucchini & Squash and Peach-Pie Cake
Wednesday was my third, and final Physics test, so I lured Kyle with the traditional Louisiana Creole dish, Jambalaya. Although my cooking was fairly short of authentic, Zatarain's gave me a delightful, quick, at home variation of the Spanish and French inspired meal.
Although this is a TERRIBLE picture, in terms of quality, the actual food in the pictures was so awesome
Making Jambalaya and Corn Bread
I always thought that family box meals weren't really meals, but I have discovered its not about how much effort you put into preparing a meal but rather how the meal turns out. So I have feel victim to making a few box meals lately (this is in addition to my regular mac-n-cheese, hamburger helper, ramen noodles and ready rice that I don't detail in my posts) and make sure my side dishes always compliment (in this case corn bread and grilled zucchini and squash). So go scoop up a box of Zatarain's Jambalaya Family Meal and Jiffy Corn Bread Mix and follow the instructions on the back! For the jambalaya I used sausage and added a little cilantro to the mix and because Kyle and I both preferred moist corn bread over dry corn bread I reduced the baking time by a couple minutes.
