Aah. Lazy Sundays. I’m letting myself relax today, play stupid video games, and write on my blog. Ever since my dad gave me a slow cooker (or Crock-Pot, i’m not exactly sure what the hell it is) as a gift, I have enjoyed a new level of culinary freedom! Harmony (my roommate and best friend) has amassed all kinds of slow cooker recipes and I wanted to share one of my absolute favorites! It’s a Jambalaya recipe that she has tweaked, and man is it good! We kind of don’t measure when we make slow cooker meals, and every time we make it it’s a bit different, so this is an estimation of what we’re doing today. It’s about the simplest recipe in the world, and it tastes great! I hope you enjoy!
