When it's time it's time and it was time for some Gumbo! Got the 5 qt. cooker out and made the Gumbo. If you want a quick but yet delicious and thick Gumbo you'll have to try Luzianne Gumbo Dinner Kit. It contains a packet that contains the Rice, Vegetables, Seasoning, and Roux Mix. I added Shrimp, Scallops, Potatoes, Crumbled Turkey Bacon, and Mini Carrots. It came out delicious! Plus a lot leftover to freeze and have later. I left the recipe and Gumbo description at the end of the post. I made a side of Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls to go along with the Gumbo and soak up some of that wonderful Roux. I'd have to say this was the best Gumbo I ever made. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
