{Week 7 Vegetable Challenge: Black Eyed Peas}

1/1/2012

I decided to try a Southern dish that is usually served on New Year's for good luck (since I wasn't really into saur kraut for this week's challenge), it's called Hoppin John... I used both of the following recipes:

Seriously, I love how cute these little buggers are...

No time today for a good "after" pic of the cooked dish, but I recruited my cousin and her friend to try these with me...

Verdict? Not terrible... For some reason, it seemed a little bland, which I wasn't expecting from a Southern dish. Maybe I missed something, but I definitely didn't hate the peas, so they have hope! I may try tweaking this recipe again in the future or looking for another Black Eyed Peas recipe!

Hi, I'm Cassie. I am a self-proclaimed, VERY, picky eater. I spent my childhood eating a select handful of foods, my early and mid 20's "learning to like new foods" (but not much in terms of veggies...) Now in my late 20's I'm teaching myself to like vegetables. Or at least attempting... ;)

Come along and maybe you'll find something new to try too!

...Or at least get a few chuckles out of the craziness that ensues in my kitchen...
