Savory Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon

Savory Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon
Recipe Tip
Fiber Up with Peas
Peas and beans are loaded with plenty of fiber--the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

This was very tasty, however, there is a great deal of prep and cook time for a side dish. My husband didnt like it, so it will be made again when he isnt home for dinner.

I just tried this recipe last night and it was fabulous!! I was skeptical at first thinking there wouldn't be enough flavor for me, but when I tried the first bite I couldn't believe how my tastebuds reacted! I definately will make this again. Actually, I had some of the leftovers for lunch today. Thanks!
