"Many of us of Southern influence look to ensure that we include black-eyed peas on our New Year’s Day table," writes @chefdeborahvantrece. "It’s a tradition that has been upheld in my family for generations." Black-eyed peas aren’t just tasty, but are believed to be the ticket for prosperity, luck and abundance if eaten on New Year’s Day. Served up with a little pork, a bowl of rice, greens, and cornbread, you have all you need to start the new year off with a tasty bang!
