Today my daughter tried to donate blood but was unable to do so because of low iron levels. My brain went into high gear thinking of a delicious dish she would enjoy that would help get her iron up. Since black-eyed peas are a good source of potassium and iron this recipe should do the trick. Another plus is both black-eyed peas and spinach are high in fiber.
