I just had the first for dinner. What a coincidence.

@bijouxbroussard My mom would make Jambalaya when my siblings and I were kids. Brings back memories.

@bijouxbroussard New Orleans, LA? 😁 Nope, I was born in Oklahoma and have been in Illinois most of my life. I guess my mom got the recipe from somewhere or someone.

@SubstantialKick I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, but both my parents are originally from New Orleans. I learned to cook a lot of those dishes from my grandmothers. 😊

@bijouxbroussard My mom grew up on the east coast and my dad grew up on the west side of Chicago, but their parents grew up in the in Mississippi and Georgia so my parents mainly grew up on soul food.
