Beans

Slow cooker dried black-eyed peas don’t need to be soaked first. Use your crock pot, set it and forget it.

A pound of large dry lima beans make a cheap, filling and exotic large lima bean soup. Use the crock pot and don’t soak the dry beans.

Chick peas make excellent tuna salad (with or without the tuna). What a great sandwich!

Any leftover vegetables taste great with a couple of baked eggs.
