Recipe of the Week: Cream Peas!

Hey everyone! I was on vacation last week so I didn't have the chance to post a recipe. But I am back and I have a good one for you this week! CREAM PEAS! The base of this recipe can be used for any kind of peas. I use it for purple hull, black eyed and lima beans. I make a huge batch and freeze them in portions so I have fresh peas all winter long. Try this one out. It's so tasty!

What you need:
2 pieces of bacon
Your choice of peas (I made cream peas)
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup frozen or fresh okra
(When I use fresh, I just leave them whole. Unfortunately, my grocer didn't have fresh the week I made these but frozen does just fine.)
1 T salt
1 T pepper
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp garlic powder


 What you do:
Start off by sauteing the onion, bacon and okra together until onion is translucent.

Add in peas and fill pot with water until all peas are covered. Add in your seasonings and give it a big stir. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer and let it cook for about an hour or until peas are tender.

You can eat right away or freeze in portions. I serve mine in their broth. So tasty! Try this one out. Your family will love it!
