What a morning, gusty winds, rain, ufff I was out doing some errands, and the wind just kept pushing me to the point that I could not stand up, and yet while I was fighting the wind I noticed that there were people cycling!! If it was younger age group I would think that’s normal, but that wasn’t the case it was a much older age group that were on the bikes!! Wow!!
I have been feeling a bit run down these past few days, so many things going on at the moment that I am trying to keep up with but I think today I reached my limit as to how much I can do in one day. So, I decided to take a break from everything else and just post my recipe. 🙂 I went to the pantry and took out the ingredients to make the soup that has a slight twist to it. I added a touch of Orange juice and just a few drops of Lemon juice let me know if you try out this recipe. 🙂
Have a good weekend everyone!! 🙂

BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP WITH A HINT OF ORANGE JUICE
Ingredients
