I have been a professional geoscientist for more than 15 years, working alongside a host of energy and environmental companies across the world.

I enjoy meeting with and sharing my knowledge and skills with others through training, mentoring, and social media. Off hours, I have a plethora of hobbies and groups I am involved with, including homebrewing beer, mountaineering, reptile husbandry, piloting drones, 4-wheeling, and more.

This is a recipe Shay has been cooking for years. I think it is one of the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipes, because the raisins are soft and the flavors blend with the rest of the cookie, as opposed to being small gritty pebbles like most other oatmeal raisin cookies I’ve had,

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya

christopherdorion Entrees, Recipes 0

Words can’t describe how in love I am with this cajun style jambalaya. You’ll need to plan a day to grill a couple chickens to do it right, but you can take a couple shortcuts to make a very delicious meal. The best part is that this dish actually becomes more flavorful when you let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple days- so don’t expect to have leftovers for long.

I always make sure to have this cajun spice mix on hand- It’s great in just about anything, including jambalaya, dirty rice, and to incorporate into dry rubs for smoking chickens and grilling steaks.
