I got this recipe from a family recipe book after I got married. I’ve adapted it to my own and it has been one of our favorite recipes over the years. This is a bit of a different take on your normal southern jambalaya. It’s made with chicken and breakfast sausage instead of shrimp. It …
I know this is a subject that probably nobody wants to talk about. Nobody wants to think about what is an actual need or just a want when it comes to spending their money. Or you might think that it’s actually pretty easy to decipher between the two. It should be pretty obvious right? This …

This recipe doesn’t have a thick teriyaki sauce, but all the delicious flavors marinade into the chicken while cooking.
