New year's black-eyed peas (Casserole squares)Many southerners say that serving black-eyed pea (a legume with lots of fiber,) that many serve with pork-bacon and rice ensures good luck in the year. Here's a delicious dish for hearty squares. Introduce your children when young to acquire a taste for these morsel's. It's good introduce new foods when hungry. I love black eyed peas, plain. However, many prefer another ways to serve them. They're great along side of kale. Variety; Other legumes could be substituted.
