If you love Cajun cookin' you will love this Cajun Sausage and Rice recipe!

My husband's Nana was from Louisiana. For years I've heard all about her gumbos and stews and that real Creole cookin' she used to do.  Unfortunatly, we lost Nana last year but the wonderful memories of meals around her kitchen table still live on in the hearts of my husband and his father.

So, when I found this recipe I knew I needed to write it down. We haven't tried it yet - but it sure looks good!
