the whole process happening in the crock pot?

starting dry.

The only thing we bite here is our food.

there is enough biting in GD

doing MIRT duty, don't we?

Black-eyed peas are not something my mom ever fixed, so I didn't realize how much I liked them until recently.

Always love pictures!

I am in the "cilantro takes like soap" crowd. Otherwise, it sounds great!

Welcome!

I have heard of some tasting soap with cilantro. I get that a bit in smell but not taste

if you're ever in the mood to try a new cornbread recipe, check out alton brown's. i add diced jalapenos to the recipe and grease the pan with bacon fat.

welcome to the group!

I have made it twice from scratch. No more mixes for me.

It's a great group with a lot of interesting food ideas.

I am starting to cook more often. I did rack of lamb grilled for my 20th anniversary a couple weeks ago.

I finely chopped mint and garlic, put that in olive oil marinated for two hours. Then I put them on the grill for 7 minutes rib side up, then 7 down. They came out a nice medium rare after foiling for 10 minutes

You would be an excellent addition to this group and I hope you enjoy it and will stick around.

It's got to be the friendliest group on DU.

Black eyed peas and cast iron cornbread make me so nostalgic of the south.

Please report back with pictures!
