Blackeyed Pea and Sausage Chili

I LOVE making chili in the fall but when I do I have to make 2 different pots because of my husband's pickiness. Don't get me wrong, if I cook something that he doesn't like he'll gladly make a sandwich, but I can usually accommodate him in the same meal, just different ingredients.

The only beans he eats are green beans and black-eyed peas so I make him a Black eyed Pea chili. While it's a little more work opening different cans, he still gets to eat chili with us on chili night.

For this recipe I use the same ingredients as our chili, except I add black eyed peas instead of chili beans.

1 lb Hamburger Meat

1 lb Sausage

2 Cans of Black Eyed Peas

1 can of Diced Tomatoes

1 small can of Mushrooms

Handful of Peppers and Onions

1 packet of Chili Seasoning

Mix all ingredients together while browning the meat. Once meat is thoroughly cooked, add it to your pot and mix well. Cover and simmer for about an hour to soften the peppers and onions and blend the ingredients together. Quick and easy and there's always enough leftover for lunch and sometimes dinner the next day.

Kalorik Steam Mop Review and Giveaway Ends 1-26-13

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kalorik and do a review of their Kalorik Steam Mop . This couldn't have came at a better time. I'm in the "New Year, New You" mode right now and there are lots of things I want to change. Harsh Chemical use is one of those things. The Kalorik Steam Mop works off of ordinary tap water! No detergents, soaps or chemicals needed! You can use the Kalorik Steam Mop to clean linoleum, ceramic tile, stone, marble, carpet, sealed hardwood, parquet and more! It's also very light weight and easy to use! I spoke with Kalorik via email on a Wednesday morning, and less than 48 hours my product arrived via FedEx! Two Thumbs Up! Upon arrival, it took all of 10 minutes to have it open, put together, and ready to use. It came with 2 small screws to attach the base to the actual cleaner, throw a microfiber pad on the base and we were ready to steam! I have hardwood flooring in my entire house so floor care is not something t...

Mabel's Labels Review

Signs of April receives free products for review purposes and may sometimes be compensated for posts. Posts may also contain affiliate (marketing) links. Thank you to Mabel's Labels for sending out their Name Label Gift Pack for us to review. Labeling is pretty important this day in time. Especially when you have children in school. Being organized and having everything labeled is very important in our home and even more important for her school items. We were able to customize our labels, as you will as well. Emma, aka The Baby Child, LOVES any and everything Unicorn so that's what we went with. Things are often very easily picked up and never returned because something wasn't labeled with a name. She's also very notorious for leaving things at school or on the bus, so these labels will be a game changer! The Name Label Gift Pack comes with 25 labels which is more than enough to label her school items. We labeled her lunchbox, ben...

Never Go Down Without A Fight: One Mom's Struggle to Fight CPS

Many people don't know a whole lot about my personal life. I normally keep things quiet and just post my reviews and go on about my day. I started this blog to do coupon match ups but quickly found that I liked doing reviews and hosting the amazing giveaways. It pretty much keeps my mind occupied from the struggles I face and have faced daily the past 4 years. Four years ago (next month) I lost custody of my then 8 year old daughter. She had gone to her Dad's for a 2 week summer visit in July of 09. I let her go a few days early simply because we weren't doing anything big here at home, however I told them that she would probably be needing a visit to the the Dr by the next morning because she had just gotten into some poison ivy and it would probably be spread by the next morning, but if they were willing to take her, then she could come early. The two weeks came and went and I didn't hear much from anyone. They had taken a trip to Panama City Beach so I didn...
