I will admit that I LOVE Black-eyed peas. I am not quite sure how this happened since Mom (bless her heart) doesn’t like them and rarely fixed them. I can only surmise that someone else fed them to me in my pre-school days when we were living in the Deep South.

Since I also love breakfast sausage and cornbread, rest assured, I’ll be making this sometime in the near future… just not serving it to Mom! LOL

Black-eyed Pea and Sausage Cornbread

HALLOWEEN MEMORY

Fall is my favorite time of the year-not too hot and not too cold.-just right! I love the changing of color and crisp mornings. We get to decorate with pumpkins, gourds and squash and good old comfort food is on the table. This dish is great on a cool fall night. Serve with a green salad for a complete meal.

COMPANY INFORMATION - Calico Carriage Quilt Designs

At Calico Carriage Quilt Designs we specialize in traditional-style quilt designs that are made with our easy, accurate No Diamonds/No “Y” Seams technique! This deceptively simple technique results in surprisingly complicated looking quilt designs. All of the diamond designs are based on a square and its companion half-square triangle, so there are no fussy bias edges and all of the quilt assembly is done with straight-line sewing. Debbie travels the country teaching this method to quilters with all skill levels and they LOVE it. We also have books and patterns based on component sewing for those big bold graphic prints. 38 patterns and books for your sewing pleasure.
