Black-Eyed Peas and Yellow Squash Skillet

Submitted by Sandy in Oklahoma

"This recipe was modified from a cold black-eyed pea salad. I don't like cold black-eyed peas but I love the taste of this served warm. It is a little hot because of the jalapeno but those can easily be left out. On the other hand, if you want more heat, add more peppers."
