Black-eyed pea patties made with bacon, shallots, and roasted red peppers are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. This recipe calls for canned peas, but for more flavor, I sometimes use leftover peas that I cooked with ham hocks or smoked turkey from New Year's. Get creative with how you serve them; sometimes I top them with fried green tomatoes or leftover candied yams.

- 0.5 pounds bacon
- 3 cups canned black-eyed peas , rinsed and drained
- 0.33 cups chopped roasted red peppers

Air Fryer Carrots (Sweet & Spicy)
These air fryer carrots are tossed in a honey-butter sauce that's flavored with orange and cardamon. They're tender, delicious, and can be on your table in less than half an hour.
Bourbon Fried Apples
These bourbon fried apples are a slightly healthier spin on the usual fried apples. The skin is left on, and the reduced butter and sugar are offset with flavor-boosting bourbon, raisins, cinnamon, and lemon juice. I use Cameo apples for this recipe, as they are naturally sweet and hold their shape well, but if you're using a tarter variety, you may wish to increase the brown sugar and omit the lemon juice. Golden rum can substitute for bourbon.
Chicken Salad Souffle Casserole
This chicken casserole is a very old recipe given to me by my mother-in-law who always served it with a black cherry Jell-O salad. Over the years, it has become a family thing, and we all still enjoy it.
