JAMBALAYA....ever since I heard Miss Kay invite Uncle Si to the table to share Jambalaya, I said I had to make me some of that! Surfed the net found several recipes and settled on a bit from one and a bit from another. Turkey Sausage with Rice and White Beans (Navy Beans).  Well, first off couldn't find canned white beans to save my hide so I started with dry - soaked overnight in the fridge. Once I sauteed all the veggies, added the semi-cooked sausage, canned tomatoes (chopped and seeded), toasted the rice in the pan...added Chicken broth and tomato juice leftover from the canned tomatoes (couldn't see wasting it). WELL, the rice overcooked and the beans were for lack of a better word...crunchy! I didn't have cajun seasoning so I added Hot Chili spices (this is the seasoning in those little packets which you have no idea what is in there but you trust the spice company to do you good). Wasn't wrong, it was tasty! I will try this recipe again but I would like to go a little bit more southern with it...maybe add some shrimp.

Guess what, did a Wal-Mart run and low and behold...Canned white beans! As Phil Robertson would say HAPPY...HAPPY...HAPPY!
