Hi, I like black-eyed peas and sweet potatoes with pork. Top it off with a slice of Red Velvet Cheesecake. Enjoy!

Stove Top Blackeyed Peas
Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups dried blackeyed peas

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped onion

1 small piece salt pork or thick bacon piece

Soak the peas overnight in enough water to cover. Drain them, and add to a large pan or Dutch oven, covering with about 2 1/2 cups hot water. Add other ingredients and stir. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until peas are soft.

This is the best way to eat a sweet potato.!

1½ hours | 5 min prep

8. To serve, slice a potato down the center.

Applesauce! Or... baked apples, or a nice apple chutney to accompany the pork chops. Either provides a great taste to compliment the pork.

Bon appetit!

baked beans, candied yams, some greens like spinach or collards, and a tossed green salad with a light dressing of oil, vinegar and lemon.
