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