Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Hot, spicy gumbo and rice is a dish that everybody should learn. Packed with sausage, chicken, and okra, a bowl of this gumbo is as filling as it gets.
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
1/4 pound fully-cooked smoked sausage, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
5 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen cut okra, thawed
3 cups hot cooked rice
hot sauce
Combine the chicken, sausage, celery, carrot, onion, tomatoes, broth, and thyme in a 4 qt or larger crock pot. Mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Drain the okra well and then stir into the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 30 more minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
To serve, place half a cup of rice in the bottom of each individual serving bowl. Ladle the gumbo over the top. Sprinkle with hot sauce, as desired.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I did this one less the sausage: simmered all veg in the liquid for 45 min, added 2 cups cooked, diced chicken, 1 cup instant rice and 10 drops tabasco. Covered, removed from heat for 5 min. Yummy!!
