BLONDIE'S NEW YEAR'S DAY BLACK-EYED PEA CASSEROLE image

This casserole is really, really good. The nutty flavor of the jasmine rice blends nicely with the fresh veggies and black-eyed peas. I bet someone who does not enjoy black-eyed peas will love this casserole - it's that good. A nice and hearty New Year's Day meal!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my blondies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These blondies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe. Other than that, they were great!

These blondies were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and the black-eyed peas were hard and gritty. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
