I am having so much fun snooping around all of your blogs to find my Friday recipes! This week I discovered a wonderful and yummy blog called Krista's Kitchen. This blog is full of delicious recipes and weekly meal plans. Krista says that she is a farm girl, turned city girl, turned suburban mom. She holds a degree in Family and Consumer Science Education. Krista credits her talents in the kitchen to years spent cooking with her mom and many years spent in 4-H. If you haven't been to Krista's blog yet, make sure you do so! I know you will love it!

Krista's Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage really caught my eye. I, of course, never can follow a recipe so I just had to put my own little spin on it.

- 1/2 cup smoked Andouille sausage, diced

Serve this garnished with shredded cheese and fresh chopped cilantro.
This dish was easy to prepare and full of wonderful spicy, smoky goodness. A perfect weeknight meal.
Thanks Krista for sharing your recipe!

Perfect. Yours looks even better than mine! I especially like the use of Andouille sausage. Mine definitely would've been better with cilantro too. Thanks for trying my recipe and the recognition!
