This Carnival Jambalaya recipe is coming to you straight from the heart of New Orleans! I am returning from Mom 2.0 Summit where ZATARAN’S was a sponsor. I would share a Louisiana favorite!

I have a funny story to share with you that I share with everyone when I talk about Mom Summit. I have a few really crazy fears. I know they are crazy, but that’s the thing about fear, even when you know it’s crazy there is nothing you can do to change it, it’s still there, still with you every step of the way.

So in my life, there are three things that I am really afraid of. Frogs, ET, and Cabs. Yes, I am afraid of Taxi cabs. I entire time I visited New Orleans I walked the streets by myself and I never took a cab. I walked alone during the day and at night, and I felt safer than I would have felt if I would have taken a cab. How insane is that? My fear is that I am trapped in a cab, and I can’t get away, but I can run on the street. Right? Yeah, I know. I can out run you, or a gun. It’s insane I know.

Thankfully I survived the weekend, but I am tired.
