With Mardi Gras around the corner, I was inspired to create a homemade Smoked Sausage Jambalaya to bring a little taste of New Orleans to our dinner table. It’s said that the Jambalaya dish origin was created by mixing French and Spanish cuisines together, now considered “American Creole.” Whatever the history, it’s a flavor fest for your tastebuds, a sweet spicy heat and very satisfying and cozy meal. Made using Poppa Earles Cajun Seasoning for an authentic taste of Louisiana.

Need a recipe to transform your leftover Thanksgiving turkey? This Cajun Turkey Chili is a total transformation and easily thrown together for an effortless crockpot slow cook. (You can easily use chicken as well.) With the help of Poppa Earle’s Cajun Seasoning and a few other simple ingredients, this cozy chili is full of flavor and brings some added spicy heat to warm you up on a cold day.
