10 Black Eyed Pea Hummus

Full disclosure: there is bacon involved.

Also, I got Lightroom for Christmas - yippeee.  BUT I'm still learning how to use it, so my pictures may look a little different until I get the hang of it.

I love this because there's no chopping or dicing or anything.  It's a one pot, throw it in there and forget about it kind of thing.  No pressure.  And did I mention it's freaking delicious?  After I photographed it I set it in front of my husband while he watched the Packer/Viking game and a few minutes later he goes "Is that all you made?" while scraping the cracker around the inside of the empty dish.  Good thing I snacked on it in the kitchen!!

Black eyed peas are a new years tradition for good luck, so serve this up at your party, brunch, or just to recover from the nights festivities.
