    You might think warm, cozy comfort foods like this Easy Chicken Sausage Jambalaya Recipe are for fall and winter only, but you would be wrong.

    Winter may be over, but it's always a good time for comfort food. Maybe I'm just saying that because I just got back from freezing half to death in Napa Valley, and now it's chilly and raining here in Miami. IN JUNE. IN THE SUMMER. This is madness, y'all!

      You need to add JUMP TO RECIPE to website. Too many adds to scroll thru to get to the recipe card. Maybe I missed it.

      There is a jump to recipe button after the first or second photo, depending on the post. I am still going back through the last 14 years of recipes and adding it to the older ones! 🙂
