Here’s some more exciting news: the winning pizza recipe chosen by my readers and Mama Mary’s fans will be featured on Mama Mary’s products in stores nationwide!
Living in Louisiana, I have tried my fair share of Cajun food. Some good, some downright scary! But one thing’s for sure: Cajun and Creole food sure is flavorful! So I knew I wanted to make a fun twist on a Cajun classic and make it into a pizza! I decided on Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya because it is loaded with ingredients, full of flavor, but also nice and moist so it wouldn’t dry out on the pizza. Then I added a Old Bay Butter to my Mama Mary’s crust to bump up the flavor even more! Hope you give Cajun a try and make this recipe at home. Let me know what you think!Scroll down to see all five pizzas and comment and vote for your favorite. 

Then you are entered to win!
 Come back tomorrow for the next recipe- It’s a Spaghetti Pizza Pie!

I love the Cajun heat from the Andouille Smoke Sausage! When you are heating it in your pot the whole kitchen fills up with a warm, spicy smell and you know you are cooking a Cajun dish, y’all!
Onions, bell peppers, and celery are known in Louisiana as The Trinity.
It is in most Cajun dishes such as Gumbo, Etouffee, and of course Jambalaya!
Add The Trinity and minced garlic to the pot and cook down.
Add rice, seasonings, and broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the rice is
 cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
I had two large chicken breasts and I simply poached them (simmered) in chicken broth. 
Then I chopped them up. It was about 2 cups of chicken.
Once the rice is done and most of the liquid is absorbed remove the lid and stir.
Mix in one can diced tomatoes, with liquid, and 2 cups chopped chicken.
Add hot sauce and salt and pepper.
Stir until heated, about five minutes and you have your self a good lookin’ Jambalaya!

I always top my Jambalaya with crunchy green onions and extra hot sauce!
Big chunks of chicken and sausage make for a hearty and tasty dish!
Baby Ava loves being in the kitchen and watching all the action when I cook!
 She also loves food just like her Mama and Daddy {we’re proud parents!}
To decided to keep the crust moist and add an extra kick I would make an Old Bay Butter!
Simply mix together melted butter and 1/4 tsp old bay.
This is enough for 2 mini pizza crusts.
Brush Old Bay butter onto two mini Mama Mary’s pizza crusts and bake for 2 minutes on 425 degrees.
Spread 1/2 cup Jambalaya on each mini pizza crusts and bake for an additional 7 minutes at 425 degrees.
Remove from oven, top with diced green onions and hot sauce and serve hot!
This pizza is full of flavor and spice. Perfect for pizza night!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!
