New Year's Day Black-Eyed Peas with Steamed Collards, PCRM Mixed Vegetable Stir-Fry (No Added Fat)

It's traditional on New Year's Day to make a simple dish with black-eyed peas and collard greens, and I did just that. I soaked black-eyed peas overnight then pressure cooked, mixed with garam masala, turmeric, and a pinch of salt - in my Instant Pot, it was just a 5-minute cook time!

PCRM has an excellent 21-Day Kickstart program to help people try with support twenty-one days of whole food plant-based eating - and it's free, available on the web or as an app for a smart phone. Fellow Food for Life instructor Lisa Karlan has put together a daily #LunchBreakLive January 1-21 to have a different person demonstrate that day's kickstart dishes on the Jane Unchained show, and tomorrow I'm going to be demonstrating a stir-fry and ambrosia salad so experimented with the recipes today; the stir-fry was part of our dinner and the ambrosia was our dessert.

I think that tomorrow's show will be streamed on facebook, YouTube, and twitter. It's a good way to start the new year; next week is our So Many Cooks in the Kitchen soups/stews show and the following weekend the Kids in the Kitchen interview Genesis Butler. Happy New Year!
