Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon - 35g Carbs, 11g Fiber
{Suggestions: To make this healthier: Buy the lowest salt bacon and
one with less fat. Render the diced bacon separately, drain on paper towel,
then add to the black eye peas. Olive oil can be used instead of bacon.
Salt can be omitted. Take care, Gloria}

A real Southern favorite, black-eyed peas are traditionally served
on New Year's Day to bring good luck. My mother's recipe with bacon,
garlic and thyme makes them extra special. —Ruby Williams, Bogalusa,
