Welcome to my kitchen and channel.  Today I just want to chat with you my visitors and subscribers. First I would start with a bit about myself.  I am a Trinidadian and have been living in the British Virgin Islands (Tortola to be exact) since 2000.  

My husband is from St.Vincent and he is a very picky eater so I have basically preparing meals that he is familiar with which mostly not Trini dishes.  My husband loves pigeon peas so I buy the canned pigeon peas on a regular basis.  

Recently I was doing some grocery shopping on a tight budget and did a comparison between the canned pigeon peas and the dry pigeons in the pack.  Now I know the dry pigeon peas in the pack is harder with work with but with planning it is more economical.  A can of pigeon peas will cost me $1.79 while the pack of dry pigeon peas $1.95. When I put one cup of the dry pigeon peas to soak over night, it will yield to 2 cups of cups!!!  Therefore I can cook three meals with one pack of the dry pigeon peas as opposed to the can of pigeon peas where I use the whole can for one meal in my husband's favorite for example - Ital Rice.  Here is the video for that recipe. https://youtu.be/6FLDw5wJJ5Q
