We would mix the rice and black-eyed peas to make Hoppin’ John, cook a city ham, collards (with smoked ham hocks), sweet potatoes and cornbread (either one big one or fried aka hoecakes). And always served with butter and apple butter. I’m so hungry now! lol Happy 2015!!

Ann,

I do know about the tradition of putting a coin in the blackeye peas. We’ve never done that but I think it’s a great tradition. I like your idea of having cooked greens (turnip greens) and raw greens (coleslaw) just to make sure you’ve covered all the bases. That’s using the old noodle!

Happy New Years! 🙂

We always did it when we were kids (I think it was a way to get us to eat them) but we have always done it at my house – even getting it in the leftovers counts! Happy New Year Jackie – (I love that fried corn bread too!!!)

Elsie,

The cornbread is fried. If you click on the link for Lacey Cornbread in the post, it will take you to the recipe and my tutorial. 🙂
