Pink Eye Peas
These peas are in the shells! Simply break them open! Some ideas for use:
Throw them in with your rice
Saute them up with your thyme and a little olive oil and add them in with other veggies or corn- They taste great with the okra, and some tomato!
make a mix with some of your favorite flavors and your favorite grain (rice, quinoa, corn) , then stuff them inside of the bell pepper.
fry them and add them to your salads as a crunchy topping
try pickling them or some other technique you would never think to do to a bean!
Hot Peppers

The anatomy of the Herb bouquet!
(Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Mint)
Oregano
Great in pasta sauce or on pizza. I love to steep it in oil in a dark place, in an airtight jar and make oregano infused oil. Great for antiviral or anti-fungal. Rub it in your hands, feet, or bothersome skin conditions.
Sage
While this isn’t the sacred white sage, if dried it also makes a great herb to burn for incense or cleansing. Also great for stuffing/dressing, sausage, toasted in some butter and poured over pasta, the uses are so many. I love a good sage tea , or if you got the chicken this week, add it to the seasoning. I enjoy sage for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Mint
I love mint. Use it as an air freshener , makes a great hot or iced tea. chew on the leaves to freshen your breath or help with tummy issues. It can also be great for skin irritations.
Thyme
Great in broths and stocks. I love it in everything! My beans, on my potatoes, veggies or meat based proteins. Partnered with things like Oregano and Oregano Oil I use thyme in my immune system boosting regime.
