Both of my daughters are vegetarians. I developed this simple vegetarian Hoppin' John recipe for them. It can be used as a base for additional ingredients according to personal preference. This recipe was submitted to the Harvard College Dining Services and was selected as a vegetarian option for the student dining halls.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 2 cans black-eyed peas , 15 ounce
- 0.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions

1
Bring broth and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion in hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir cooked rice, black-eyed peas, and Cajun seasoning into onion.

Tor-Tunas
A super fun and easy way to serve the usual tuna fish. Just wrap in a tortilla! My kids have been loving these for years, as I did when I was a kid. Awesome for lunch boxes, just wrap in plastic wrap or foil. The kids love calling them 'Tor-tunas'!
Becky's Easy Cilantro Lime Rice
This rice is great as a side dish or added to your favorite taco salad or burrito. Much like you will find in fresh-Mex restaurants.
Air Fryer Oven Pork Jerky
This pork jerky recipe is made in an air fryer. Pork jerky stores well, so it's a perfect snack for camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, or any outdoor activity. I typically leave the jerky making to my husband, but I got an air fryer and decided to try it myself. While it does take time, the dehydrator method he uses takes much longer. This method was easy and the jerky was full of flavor — overall, I was impressed! Store jerky in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
