Black Eyed Peas Please

Happy New Year! I pray that your 2009 will be Divine...Filled to overflowing with the Divine One who loves you so very much.

So, are your black eyed peas on to cook?

My girls don't really care for black eyed peas, so I have to be creative every year.

This recipe was a hit:

Black Eyed Pea Salsa-cast of characters (rooster not included):

add 1 can of corn to 2 cans of black eyed peas, drain and rinse well

Add 4 cloves of fresh garlic, 1 cup of chopped cilantro (I adore cilantro!)

juice from 1 lime (I only had the concentrate on hand)

2 cans of Rotel

2 bunches of scallions

Stir together and serve in a special bowl.

This bowl belonged to my special Granny. I think the salsa looks so pretty in it.

Don't you agree?



Serve with tortilla chips. Yum!

While I am having fun using my new camera....here is another recipe.

Mom's Hot Bites

All you need are 6 eggs, 1 pound of Cheddar cheese, and jalapeno slices.

And a hot man to beat the eggs for you:

Line jalapeno slices in an 8x8 pan (my hubby likes the extra mild jalapenos)

Layer shredded cheese on top

Pour beaten eggs on top of the cheese

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Delicious and easy! These always get rave reviews at parties.

Then call the maid to clean up your mess!

Oh right...I am the maid! I better get busy.
