We love black eyed peas. It’s nice to have another way to make them. This sounds delicious!
I love having beans all the time, but I have never made a recipe like this. It sounds soo good, I must try it soon!
I know this is going to sound funny, but I have never in my whole life have had Black Eyed Peas–for some reason I thought it was some kind of pea. I think I would enjoy these– I love beans and ham, so I’m sure its about the same in some ways hu?– Thanks for the enlightenment.
I was looking for a black eyed peas recipe for New Years. This looks absolutely delicious. Thank you! It’s perfect! 🙂
