Served with greens (collards, mustard or turnip greens, which varies regionally), the peas represent coins and the greens represent paper money. In some areas cabbage is used in place of the greens.
Cornbread, often served with black-eyed peas and greens, represents gold.
For the best chance of luck every day in the year ahead, one must eat at least 365 black-eyed peas on New Year's Day.

Granny is a great southern cook raised in Louisiana and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Her recipe is lip-smacking good and it is definitely the real deal.

We all know dressing is deeply personal. People have strong opinions about it: cornbread or white bread; to sage or not to sage; oysters, duck, chicken or meatless? To stuff or not to stuff the bird? Well, here is a family recipe that has made my husband happy his whole life, and is now finally in written form. If you like it, you can thank Myrtle Winder.
These are the one's that everyone in the family says are a must have for all Holiday meals, from Easter to Christmas and everything in between, we think of any reason possible to serve "Gaga's Sweet Potatoes". Gaga is what my son calls my mother, his grandmother, and her sweet potatoes are the big crowd pleaser. We'd be better off forgetting the turkey on Thanksgiving than to show up without these sweet delights.
3 slices bacon, cut in 1" slices
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 pound fresh green beans, with ends snapped off
1/2 pound baby new potatoes
8 oz. chicken broth
Ingredients:
3 large sweet onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter, divided in half
2 eggs
3/4 cup Half and Half
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
Salt and pepper to taste
