It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


16 ounces dried black-eyed peas
3/4 cup diced ham
30 ounces diced tomatoes
4 ounces diced green chiles
1 1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
20 ounces chicken broth
1 stalk celery, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Rinse peas in cold water, removing any debris or soiled peas. Place in a pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Turn off stove and let peas soak for 1 hour. Drain liquid and rinse peas under lukewarm water.
Place peas and all remaining ingredients in crockpot. Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
