Chicken, Sausage & Prawn Jambalaya

For Valentine’s Day dinner I decided to cook jambalaya, I have never tasted or cooked it before but after seeing it on “Jamie’s American Road Trip” I decided to give it a go. I wasn’t disappointed, it was easy to make and a real comfort dish. My husband Warrie loved it. So all in all a successful Valentine’s dinner.

Southern Shrimp and Grits

This is a re- post from a couple of years ago.

June 21st 2010

I’ve started a food project with Kris were we share recipes and ingredients from the country we are living in. My box of goodies arrived last week from the USA and this is the first recipe ive made using the grits and cajun seasoning Kris sent.

Southern Shrimp and Grits – I hadn’t made nor ate grits before so it was nice to try something new, it was so simple and quick to make and tasted great!

(Grits is a food of Native American origin that is common in the Southern United States; it mainly consists of coarsely ground corn.Grits is similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, such as polenta. It also resembles farina, a thinner porridge.)
