Shrimp and sausage jambalaya
I will not for an instant claim that my jambalaya is great, or authentic, or anything of the sort, but it does come out tasty, even when I mess it up. On this particular batch, my screw-up was mistaking orzo pasta for white rice. My excuse is that they were both in unmarked mason jars in the cupboard and look amazingly similar when dried. It was not a huge mistake. Even when cooked, orzo is pretty rice-like in texture, and nobody complained.
Also, I miss those Jacques Pepin chicken bowls.
I too have a jambalaya recipe that is so unauthentic. It has orange juice in it. But we love it.
