We Love Johnsonville Sausage Around Here

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Johnsonville Sausage. All opinions are 100% mine.

How cute is she?  When I read about this "Share Your Ville" Video Contest, I knew that Brandi would be the perfect spokesperson for our family. It was so easy for her to talk about Johnsonville sausage, because we eat it all the time.  As you can see in the video, I even had a package on hand today.

It's easy to enter the contest for yourself.  All you have to do is make a video (between 30 seconds and two minutes long) that talks about why Johnsonville sausages are important to you, and then select which category you want to enter. The four categories are:

FRIENDSVILLE

• Who is part of your VILLE? How do you hang out and use the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage to make these moments even better?

FAMILYVILLE

• These are your folks. Share with us how you spend time together and with the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage.

EVENTVILLE

• Share with us what takes you to your special place. A day on the lake? Tailgating before the game? How does the great taste of Johnsonville Sausage make this a more memorable event?

LOCATIONVILLE

• Where do you live? Invite us into your backyard and share your Johnsonville Sausage grilling recipes & tips. Happen to live in a "VILLE" of your own (Jacksonville, Bentonville, Libertyville)? Share your "VILLE" experience with us!

I would enter the family category, since Brandi was talking about the fun we have with my mom and sister.  There are a bunch of prizes to be won, and the 5 winners will share $21,000 in CASH and Prizes from Gander Mountain, Coleman, and Hefty.  (the winner of the Professional Category receives $10,000 CASH)
The contest runs until July 20th, so make sure you enter soon. The first 50 entrants will get a coupon for a free sausage, so hurry and get your video submitted.

Good luck!

Our haul!

We each spent $23, and got all that food! We are going again in 2 weeks, and we are already planning our strategy.

Happy Humpday

Good evening all. I have had an unusually calm and relaxing day. We were in the pool briefly this afternnon. It started storming around 2, and hasn't yet stopped. If I suddenly stop writing, it's cause lightning took out my computer, and possibly me with it. Anyway, Faith was good as usual, and my kids were as well. When Faith left, we went to order "Angel Food", which I will explain in a sec. After, we ran by the stand to see if Del had stuff out. He kinda did. I grabbed a canteloupe and some squash, and was almost out the door when he asked me to run the stand for "just a little" while he ran to check on a new building. How could I say no? So me and the girls stayed for about an hour. Junior, Ryan, and Del ran to price a new building that will have running water and a, drumroll please, BATHROOM! No more walking to Little Cricket to pee. Hopefully he will decide on one soon.Okay, so back to "Angel Food:". Churches in the area offer boxes of food for $25. My mom has been telling me about it for years, and we finally found a thrift store where we can order a box. You can get as many as you want. This is the menu for July:(1) 4 lb. chicken thighs (1) 16 oz. gourmet bean soup(1) 12 in. supreme pizza (1) 24 oz. home-style hash browns(1) 2 lb. banguet lasagna dinner (2) 7 oz. healthy steamed and seasoned veggies(1) 1 lb. chicken breast fajitas (1) 7.5 oz. mac & cheese(1) 12 oz. philly steak portions (1) 16 oz. frozen baby carrots(1) 2 lb. popcorn chicken (1) 16 oz. california blend veggies(1) 16 oz. smoked sausage (1) each dessert item(1) 10 ct. flour tortillas (1) each dozen fresh eggs(1) 2 lb. fresh yellow onionsThat is a lot of stuff for $25. You can also order special meat deals for between $17 and $18, as long as you purchase the box. The menus change every month. We're going to try it and see.I'm gonna have Faith in the morning, and be at Del's by 1. He got an order for 50 watermelon that he needs to deliver by 11am Friday. He's going to go to Columbia tomorrow evening, so he asked me to close up for him. I'm not sure if I already wrote that I made signs the other day. Tomorrow I'll try and take some pictures. They look pretty good. The only downside is that he wanted the prices on them, and we all know how often he changes the prices. I guess I'll be cutting and taping and covering things up. Either way, it's all in a days work.My house is still clean. Miracles do happen! Not sure how it will hold up tomorrow. I'm getting lazy again. It was bound to happen!Well, Brandi wants me to lay in bed with her, and I think I just might be in the mood for a little snuggle time. Until next time....
