I guess with the weather getting a little bit nicer it got me thinking about warmer climates and led me to a southern staple. I have a serious love for jambalaya, not only is it a delicious way to clean out a vegetable drawer it is also a great way to combine many different meats… mind you this one only has two, I think it might be missing some thick chunks of bacon. Maybe next time. But for now, here’s my first go at a Paleo Jambalaya found on PaleOMG.com
