If there was ever a year that we need a whole lot of luck, it’s 2021. Here is a New Year’s Day meal that’s sure to bring at least a little luck. Let’s hope it’s good luck!
As the southern saying for lucky New Year’s food goes: “peas for pennies, greens for dollars, and cornbread for gold.”

**A note from Mother Kalamity: Leave a few black-eyed peas in your bowl, when you are done. It’s for next year’s luck.

So, so true, Kelli. Maybe we should have eaten more black-eyed peas. But, I still have hope for a great 2021! It’s just gotten off to a rocky start.

My husband and I ate our share, hopefully they will work better for us all. Wishing you and your family all the best in this new year.
