Farm Fresh Purple Hull Peas & Green Beans

Gretchen and I took a trip to her Mother's farm in Dallas last week while I attended a convention for Realtors, Banks and Loan Servicers.  We had some great meals while we were there' and even brought home some farm fresh veggies: including purple hull peas and green beans.  They are so delicious, and easy to cook. It made me wish I lived on a farm...but only for a minute.
 
Ingredients

4 cups of shelled purple hull peas
4 slices of Trader Joe's Uncured, Fully Cooked Bacon
Crazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt
Filtered Water

  • Shell the purple hull peas and rinse.
  • Add peas to a sauce pan and cover with water plus one inch.
  • Cut the bacon into 1 inch strips and add to the pan with some salt.
  • Boil for 45 minutes on medium heat until tender.  Enjoy!



Ingredients


4 cups of green beans
1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Crazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt








  • Rinse the green beans and snap off the ends.
  • Saute the green beans in a skillet under medium heat for 15 minutes or until tender-crisp.
  • Add salt to taste and enjoy!
We ate these veggies with My Favorite Meatloaf.  What a perfect pairing!
