Some thoughts and discussions from me.
34 Degrees Crisps GIVEAWAY + Easy Crock Pot Jambalaya
Good morning and happy FRIDAY, friends 
This week has been a b-u-s-y one for me. I’ve had a couple extra work assignments pop up, as well as starting with a couple new clients this week, so I’m adjusting a little to having less desk time. It’s all good, though. Also good? Colorado has decided to return to above freezing temperatures!
Hoooooray! I may be beginning to love the snow, but I still dislike freezing temps very much.
And to celebrate the temps rising to degrees in the 30’s and 40’s, how about a little weather-appropriate giveaway with 34 Degrees Crisps?
34 Degrees Crisps are wafer-thin crackers that come in five delicious flavors: Natural, Sesame, Cracked Pepper, Rosemary and Whole Grain. 34 Degrees also gives back, by donating 1% of its crackers, and by making quarterly donations to the Food Bank of the Rockies, as well as the Children’s Totes of Hope program. They also practice sustainability when it comes to their packaging, by using fully recyclable materials for packaging, and using wind energy.
A little while back, I had the pleasure of meeting the 34 Degrees team through my work for KIND, and we’ve been emailing back since then.
I’ve talked about their crisps on the blog, and love enjoying them with some fruit and cheese, and perhaps a bit of wine 
I can get behind a cracker that tastes good and gives back! I hope you can, too, because one lucky reader will win 4 sets of 34 Degrees Crisps! That means…FOUR boxes of each flavor!
See how to enter at the end of the post. And you can read this easy jambalaya recipe on the way down
Like I said, my favorite way to enjoy the crispbread is with cheese and wine, but the other night, I added a few of the whole grain flavors to this easy crock pot jambalaya that I made.
Easy Crock Pot Jambalaya
ingredients
1 lb. chicken breast or thighs
2 Andouille sausages
1/2 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
4 tbsp. tomato paste
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. paprika
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. parsley
salt and pepper to taste
2 c. cooked rice (I used Thai rice, but I think yellow would work well, too!)
directions
Place chicken, andoullie sausage, pepper, and onion in the crock pot, and cover with the broth, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Add in your seasons, and stir. Cook on low for 8 hours. About 10 minutes before serving, add in your rice. Serve and enjoy 
Now, on to those giveaway terms.
To enter to win 4 boxes of each flavor, mentioned above, leave a comment saying how you think you’d like to enjoy the crisps.
For an extra entry, you can “like” the 34 Degrees Facebook page, and leave a comment back here letting me know you did.

GOOD LUCK!

I would enjoy these with a cheese platter for the holidays.
Owww!! On their own or with soup!! Stay warm!!
Liked on facebook!
I liked to eat every three hours or so and honestly I think I would just munch on them on their own!
With wine sounds like a solid plan, but I think I would also pair them with a little spreadable cheese (goat?)
Mmm They would be delicious with a dip for all the holiday parties!

I’m all about crackers with SOUP! We’ve had soup almost everyday this week for either lunch or dinner. I just love it this time of year, and it’s SO easy!

I’m sure I would like them plain or with some cheese.

These would make an excellent addition to a cheese platter spread over the holidays!
Isn’t it funny that 30 degrees is an improvement? It’s been pretty cold here this week too so after several days in the low twenties, I was pretty happy to see 35 degrees!
P.S. I think these crackers would be great on a holiday spread with cheese and different veggies.

I’m not a huge soup person, so I’d probably have them with salads!

Crispbread w/ hummus & red wine!
I’d enjoy them with salsa & guacamole!
With smashed avocado or sardine salad!
I think I agree with the wine, fruit, and cheese combination! They also seem like they’d be great with salsa.
i think these would be great with guacamole, hummus, and salsa!
with cheese!
I bet those would be really good with soup or chili. That jambalaya looks awesome, I’d actually eat everything in it!

i would love to eat those with a nice spread like the 3 layer hummus or spinach artichoke dip at trader joe’s!!
Mmm, wine and cheese sounds great, but some fresh tapenade on crispbread would be delicious too!
i would enjoy them plain as snacks!!
