Did you mix the peas with the cornbread???? I feel like sending hubby out for some black eyed peas, just for luck lol

Glad the meal turned out!!!!!

RGALP, Thanks! I did not mix them, until I was eating them. I know it's considered gauche... but when I eat the black-eyes, I do take a small bit of the cornbread and add it to a bite of black-eyes. If you mix the cornbread and black-eyes more than a bite at a time the corn bread will be soggy.

Black-eyes can be cooked very easily with only a bit of bacon or salt pork. That's how I usually cook them.

As a side note, I like almost all kinds of corn bread, but I think skillet cornbread works best with black-eyes. Skillet corn bread is made in a cast iron skillet so it has a nice crispy bottom, almost a crust.

I had a sugar lesss cake for my birthday and it really was good. No way you could tell there was no sugar in it

lunadelmar, Isn't that amazing? I had some sugar-less brownies made with black beans a while back and was shocked how yummy they tasted.

I like the sugar free pudding and popsickles but had no idea the cakes would be so good

lunadelmar, Cookies too! I used to order my step-grandfather sugar free cookies because he had diabetes. I tried one and you can't really tell much difference. The thing to remember is that sugar free does not mean healthy and there are some very healthy deserts that can be made if you search for "plant based" recipes. A lady who attends a book/meditation class I go to has a plant based recipe website and I will try to find a link. She's the one who made those black bean brownies that were do delicious. She uses things like raisins to naturally sweeten her healthy deserts.
