Grandma’s Jambalaya

With Mardi Gras‘s today I was craving Cajun food hard. Both of my parents grew up in Louisiana and my mom makes jambalaya several times a year. It’s my grandma‘s recipe and the jambalaya I grew up on. I called my mom and asked for the original recipe and cut out the butter and made some healthy swaps. It taste like just like I remember! Feel free to add okra or whatever else your Cajun heart desires. I meal prep this into five portions and each one was a whopping 484 g!
