Black-Eyed Peas

 

According to legendary Southern food journalist and writer John Egerton in Southern Food: At Home, On the Road, In History, black-eyed peas are associated with a "mystical and mythical power to bring good luck"

They are not just for New Years, I make them all year long and love them.  Check them out!
