Slow Cooker Spicy Black-Eyed Peas
Someone who works at my local grocery store told me that whenever I make BEPs to add in a can of unsweetened coconut milk and I won't be sorry. I thought this sounded kinda crazy but I did it with this recipe and I was blown away. I pretty much stayed true to the recipe except that I added a box of free range chicken broth with the coconut milk and 1 cup of water instead of what was called for in this recipe (water + bouillon). Since I had one pablano pepper and not the jalopeno, I used that instead. I also substituted 2 smoked ham hocks instead of the bacon because that ends up giving you less fat and the incredible smoked taste that is needed.

Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes
I don't even like pancakes, but I LOVED these. These are the only pancakes I will ever be making any and everytime in the future.
