It’s early, my favourite time of the day in the summer. The sun is up, the birds are singing their variety of morning songs and I’ve already been out in the garden for an hour or so, hoping to beat the heat that is expected later in the day. But now I’m hungry! Since I…
Low Carb Jambalaya – a quick and easy weekend dinner
