I’m back in the kitchen so let’s make something tasty, shall we? This recipe of is one of my husband’s favorites. My mom used to make it frequently, and it’s practically a meal unto itself. Laced with spicy sausage, corn, cheese  and black-eyed peas, it’s a snapshot of southern traditions. You can serve it plain, or add some salsa or sour cream on the side if you’re really feeling rebellious.
