April's Creative Corner

So here is what we had for dinner Saturday night, jambalaya:

(Yes, I realize it looks gross, but OH MY GOSH, it was DELISH!)

And here's the recipe:

• 1 tablespoon oil
  
• slices of onion, to taste
  
• 1(14.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
  
• 2 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
• 1 pound turkey sausage links, without casings, cooked and chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
• 3 cups chicken broth

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook onion in pot with oil until soft. Add chicken, sausage, rice, tomato sauce, chicken broth and all spices. Cover and cook for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional tomato sauce or broth as you go if it gets dry.

I modified this GREATLY from a recipe I found online. This tastes exactly like my mom's recipe that she used to make it when we were kids. OH SO GOOD!

Here are some cards that I made today:







All of the cards were made from scraps. I sorted my scraps this weekend and I can't believe I have so many! LOL! I'm trying to use up what I have before I cut into new stuff. (LOL yeah right, like that'll happen!). The "thanks" card is going to someone very special....I'll be able to post why in a couple weeks. ;)

Alright, I'm off to do laundry and go to bed. NIGHT!
