Black-Eyed Peas with Ham and Swiss Chard
Black-eyed peas don't have to be just for New Year's Day and I think of ham as a more healthful alternative thanbacon to get that smoky flavor. Of course, you can leave out the ham and go vegetarian if that's your thing. Iadded some fresh swiss chard and loved this dish from the minute I tasted it. In only 18 minutes you can have afresh dish on the table that you will love.
