...Nawlin's Quick & Easy Chicken-Sausage Gumbo...

Ok so if you know me, you know I'm not much of a cook, but lately I have really been trying hard. Iv'e been trying out of the box things and to my surprise and to Jamie's, they have come out pretty tasty. I have learned that seasonings can do a lot for a dish. Try it! You will be surprised! This recipe I decided to do because I have only had gumbo a couple of times and when I did I really enjoyed it and since Jamie had just got back from New Orleans I thought he would enjoy it as well. I also hope you can take this recipe and enjoy it as much as we did because it turn out super deee-lish!
