Johnsonville Blog for a Cause

I am so excited to announce the Blog for a Cause event! Back in September I headed to Wisconsin to meet with the wonderful folks at Johnsonville Sausage. My family has used Johnsonville Sausage to cook with for years. We LOVE the Italian Sausage since it is packed with flavor and can be used in so many ways.

Johnsonville is a company that believes in giving back. This Holiday season Johnsonville has teamed up with several bloggers for the Blog for a Cause event. Each blogger will get the chance to raise up to $1,000 for a charity of their choice. Since our local food bank is in need,I am choosing the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank for this event.

Raising the money is simple- for each person that leaves a comment on this post Johnsonville will donate $50 (up to $1,000 total). For the comment to count, just tell us what Johnsonville Italian Sausage recipe you have tried! It could be your own recipe, one of mine or one from the Johnsonville website.
