One day my husband decided that he wanted me to make Jambalaya. I thought he was crazy and had no idea how to make it. I immediately just assumed it would be hard and time consuming. I knew the basic idea of ingredients and flavors and decided to try to make an easy one pot version. It worked and turned out delicious. It is now something my family requests regularly and I enjoy making. I hope you enjoy!
Cube chicken and slice sausage, add chicken to a large pot with olive oil cooking on medium heat. When chicken is almost done add shrimp.
Once cooked fully add diced onions and peppers season with Cajun seasoning and saute for 5 minutes.
Turn heat up to high and add diced tomatoes and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling add okra and rice. Turn to low and cover pot for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
Top with chopped green onions and add extra seasoning if needed.
ENJOY!!!!

I am married to the most amazing man, Tommy. I am the mother of three beautiful children Landon, Finn, and Daisy. For years I have been helping friends, family and others navigate the life of gluten-free living. I grew up in a gluten-free house, my mom and both brothers were diagnosed with Celiac Disease when I was young. My mom did an amazing job making everything from scratch in a gluten free kitchen. When I had my first child Landon my world was changed. He was born at 24 weeks because I have a short cervix. The doctor told us that he had a slim chance of survival and that his life would be plagued with severe complications. He survived and has minimal complications due to his prematurity, but when Landon was two he started getting rashes all over his body and he would constantly be sick. My mom advised me to get Landon tested for Celiac Disease. This was the beginning of my true GF journey. Shortly after he was diagnosed, I decided to go off gluten as well. Although I do not have Celiac Disease, I have found that I feel 100% better eliminating gluten from my diet. Recently Finn was having some issues with his legs and knees hurting. The doctor told me to take Finn off gluten to see if it was causing the inflammation and pain. Sure enough once we changed his diet the symptoms went away. We have Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance on both sides of the family. My sister-in-law and niece were recently diagnosed and my Grandma recently took gluten out of her diet due to an autoimmune disease. We are in a fortunate position that both of our families understand the purpose of living a gluten-free lifestyle. I am on a mission to help people create amazing gluten-free recipes and to see that this diagnosis is not a curse, but can actually be delicious.
