Jambalaya

Jambalaya is one of those yummy, stick-to-your-ribs kind of meals, that is quick and easy to throw together.  I love how colorful and flavorful it is!

Here is how I make mine:
Start with a pound of frozen shrimp, peeled and devained.

Thaw the shrimp quickly by spraying it with water.  Once it is thawed, pull off all of the cute little tails.
Then heat a large skillet over med-high heat, and get ready to prep your veggies.

Chop 1-1/2 cups of celery, 1 medium onion and one sweet bell pepper ( I used an orange one here).
Oil your hot skillet with a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and toss your veggies in.
Cook until the veggies are tender.
While those are going, chop 3 cloves of garlic.
When the other veggies are tender, toss the garlic into the skillet, the stir in 2 cups of chicken broth, one 14.5 oz. can of tomatoes.  Cut 8 oz. of kielbasa sausage into 1/2 inch slices and toss those into the skillet along with 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice.
Next, you will need to toss in your spices.
You will add 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning blend, 1/2 tsp of thyme and 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes.
Stir everything together and bring to boiling.
Reduce heat, and simmer with the skillet covered for 15 minutes.
Next, you add the shrimp.
Stir the shrimp and allow it to simmer until they are warmed through.
Then, enjoy!

I like to serve jambalaya with spicy corn on the cob.
(Slather the corn with butter, then season with a sprinkle of salt and chili powder.)
Yum!

Here is my list of ingredients:
1 lb. of frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
1 med. onion, chopped
1-1/2 celery, chopped
1 sweet bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
2 cups of chicken broth
1  14oz can of diced tomatoes, undrained
8 oz. of kielbasa sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
3/4 cup of long grain rice
1/2 tsp of thyme
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf




All Purpose Cleaner

I have this cleaner that I have been making for years...and I love love love it!!! I use it to clean my bathrooms every single day, mirror, shower, tub, sink, toilet.  It cleans it all.  I use it to clean my windows, counters, floors, sink, stove, ect.  It truly is all purpose, and it costs pennies to make.
Here is what you need:
1 - 32 oz. spray bottle
1 tsp. dish soap
1 TBSP. ammonia (I'm using lemon.)
1 TBSP. lemon juice
2 TBSP. vinegar (I'm using orange.)
1/3 cup rubbing alcohol
Using a funnel, begin by adding the dish soap into the empty spray bottle.  Follow that with the lemon juice, vinegar and ammonia.  These are your cleaning agents.
Next, pour in your rubbing alcohol. This helps the cleaner to be streak free. It also gives it some extra germ killing power.
Fill your bottle the rest of the way with cold tap water, slap on the spray top and give your bottle a little shake.  Then grab a towel and go to town cleaning.  Just beware, the first time you make this, you should give yourself plenty of extra time to clean.  You are going to go from room to room spraying and wiping everything in sight, just to see how awesome it cleans ;)

I always mix mine in batches of 3. One to keep in each bathroom and one for the kitchen.

Orange Vinegar

One of my favorite home cleaners is vinegar...add some orange oil to that and it improves the cleaning quality of the vinegar immensely!  So, how do you add the orange oil?  Where do you get orange oil?  From oranges of course!
To make orange oil, drop the peels of oranges into a jar.  Here I have 2 orange peels in 1 old pasta sauce jar.  Pour plain white vinegar over the peels, seal the jar and let it set for at least 2 weeks.  When you are ready to use your vinegar, simply strain out the orange peels and toss them into your compost.  I often pour my orange vinegar into a clean, recycled squirt bottle so that it is easy to squirt into a bucket, sink or measuring spoon.

I love using orange vinegar in my mop water, in my homemade all-purpose cleaner and in my rinse-aid compartment of my dishwasher.
