It has been a long, long time since I’ve been here! I got off-balance. There was a LOT going on! But I couldn’t let Thanksgiving come and go without saying something!!
Today I made a Grateful Tree!
The first things written on the leaves that hang on the tree are the names of my children and grandchildren! What a blessing!
Tonight, I had to have some jambalaya! I love it! I thought it might be good for you to have the recipe after all the Thanksgiving food!
Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya
l lb. smoked sausage
1 c. green pepper (I used half red and half green)
1 c. celery
1 c. onions
1/2 c. green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. uncooked rice
2 c. water
1 (14.5 oz.) can tomatoes
1 1/2 lbs. raw shrimp
2 tsp. creole seasoning (it will be pretty spicy, so adjust)
2 T. butter
Slice sausage thinly. Sauté, then drain excess oil. Remove sausage to another dish. Melt butter in large pot. Sauté all the vegetables. Add the sausage, water, tomatoes and seasoning; bring to a boil. Then add rice and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add raw shrimp and cook until shrimp are done, stirring occasionally. Serves 6-8.
We are headed out to Arkansas to spend Thanksgiving with my Daddy and our new family and I can’t wait! We’ll head back here and have Thanksgiving with our kids on Saturday. This has been a year full of blessings! I hope that this Thanksgiving season finds you giving thanks for ALL things!
Hi Kaye…Emily’s mom here or as y’all say it….M-lee. Just a note to say that I love your blog and I especially love the grateful tree. Thanks for the idea. I’m going to make one tonight and have my family add leaves to it tomorrow. Give my love to Morgan and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gini
