Gluten Free Jim's Jambalaya

Comment: What a delicious treat we had when Jim brought in his home made Jambalaya to the gathering of coworkers sharing a bit of holiday cheer. Jim has been cooking gluten free for quite awhile and as we know, creativity in developing GF recipes is a must so we asked Jim if he would share his “Jimbalaya” recipe with us and we with you. Enjoy!
