Where I grew up in Central Ohio it was considered good luck to cook Pork with sauerkraut to eat on New Years Day.

One of our guests this year is bringing black eyed peas to be assured of her Texas luck for the new year.

What cooking tradition do you remember and perhaps will cook to start off 2015?????

Being from Florida, it will be black-eyed peas with ham hocks and cornbread.

We used to make them fresh in a bean pot but since I am the only one that eats them anymore, it is a can of Bush's Black-eyed peas. Cornbread is still fresh.

Field peas, collard greens, corn bread, and ham. Mix the corn bread with the greens...using plenty of broth...to make "Pot Liquor" aka "Pot Likker."

Filet Mignon from Fresh Market - asparagus and maybe some home made fries, and something really fattening for dessert!

We are having a traditional "Italian/Southern" meal. Lentil soup, pork with sauerkraut and apples, black eyed peas, collard greens and Italian green beans with onions and tomatoes with fresh peach cobbler for dessert! Each course has a special meaning connected to health, wealth and happiness. Peach cobbler because it tastes so darn good!
