Jambalaya Family
Every 2nd Sunday of the month, I have the privilege of serving God’s people through APC at the Well. Back by popular demand, we (Team Food Coma) cooked up Jambalaya with a side salad for the Well family.
Since we’re all about sharing, here’s the quick prep you can do at home and have plenty of left overs to help save a few bucks for lunch during the work week. First, you need 2 boxes of Zatarian’s Low Sodium Jambalaya mix. To kick it up a notch, pick up a warm rotisserie chicken from any grocery store. Proceed to pull off the chicken meat into bite size pieces and set aside (we discard the skin). Kick it up, yet again, by browning bite size pieces of hot Italian sausages (6 links = 1 1b) and set aside. Open 1 can (approx 16 oz) of diced tomatoes and set aside. Bring to boil about 4 cups of water in a big pot. Dump the 2 boxes of Zatarian’s Jambalaya mixture, diced tomatoes, pulled chicken meat, and browned bite sized hot Italian sausages. Stir it all in and bring it back to a boil… then set it to low heat and simmer for a good 30-40 minutes with the lid on…….. SHAZAAAAMMMM… take a little taste test to see if the rice has fluffed. If so, take it off and serve. Pack it up and store in the fridge for your lovely leftover lunch meals!
On a more deeper note, I learned quite a few deep things cooking this jambalaya concerning the body of Christ. Indulge me a bit, some food for your thoughts. Each ingredient is essential to make this dish work. Every textured bite creates a party in the mouth. Just like when the world tastes and see that God is good through the diversity and texture of His body, the church.
What are you waiting for? Let’s be the seasoning in our community and add a little spice to Fort Lee.

Although Mags’ comment makes me sound like a disgusting, bacon-mongering disaster, I MUST admit that she makes a mean mac and cheese. It’s unreal. If you must….climb mountains, hike valleys, and traverse waterways just to get to her mac and cheese. It’s THAT good!
