Happy New Year from HealthyLifestyles!

Tried this new Greek Style Black Eye Pea recipe yesterday and really enjoyed it!

I always talk about meals that can be made ahead of time with the folks I work with and this is definitely one of them.

Why? It’s a hearty stew for those of us who choose to be vegan, vegetarian or not! Add chopped cooked chicken if you’re missing or needing more protein for a main meal.

It’s full of flavor and vegetables and of course black eye peas for those of you wanting more fiber, anti-oxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients in your diet.

EVOO provides you with the monounsaturated fats – you can modify as needed.

Really it can be made at any other time of the year using different beans-a warm heartier version of a salad
