Crockpot Jambalaya
By Laura LaValle, RD, LD Top
One of the challenges of adhering to a low-carb diet is finding lots of different ways to season and spice the same vegetables and proteins that you use over and over again. This spicy, flavorful Cajun dish helps fill that bill, and while it may traditionally be served over brown rice, for a low-carb version, serve over steamed vegetables such as zucchini, spaghetti squash or cauliflower.
