Yum-O!! Good luck!! 🤞🏻🍀 

from what I remember, the recipe's on the black eyed peas bag. 

I am too curious, found this tidbit: During the Civil War battle of Vicksburg, Northern troops laid siege to the town for 40 days. The Union army raided all the food supplies and burned everything else. They left the black-eyed peas because they thought the peas were weeds. At that time they were called "cowpeas" and were mainly used to feed cattle. With no supplies coming in, the citizens suffered great deprivation. There wasn't anything to eat. In desperation, they ate those humble "cowpeas" and felt lucky just to have survived the war. 

That could probably be very true I did not Google it but we have several pea varieties that grow rapidly I have some red zipper peas that look like weed but they are amazing for your garden they put nitrogen back in the Earth so that's very interesting thank you for sharing 

Eat up lol! Be safe. 

Smiles...My mom would love this dish. God bless you.
