Daily Delights: My New Years Tradition
Date posted: January 1, 2014 | By: Dawn Happy New Year, my friends! I just got back from the best New Years Eve I’ve ever had – more on that later – but for now, I have to share my annual New Years tradition with you guys.
Even with a well-earned hangover, I had to make this happen today.
Hope your 2014 is off to a beautiful start!
Me? I’m just eatin’ my blackeyed peas, chilling out, watching some movies and catching up on some tv. I’m long overdue for a little R & R.

As a southern girl, I fervently believe in the power of blackeyed peas…and I don’t mean the band.
My annual New Years tradition: Blackeyed Peas with jalapeños, bacon, a crescent roll and champagne!
Every year I cook a big pot of blackeyed peas with bacon, jalapeños, jalapeño juice, salt, pepper and a bit of butter and then top ’em with a dollop of Daisy sour cream and sharp cheddar. I serve em to my friends with crescent rolls or biscuits and champagne and, in honor of my Papaw, I always have a bit of buttermilk with em too. They are delicious and southern folklore says it grants you prosperity. Each year gets better and better so it must be workin’. Bring it on, my little blackeyed friends!! And may 2014 bring YOU prosperity!!!
xoxo,
BF

We ate blackeyed peas too! My tradition is STAYING HOME. I don’t drink and I don’t like crowds!
I’d never heard of ‘Beans and Greens’ in Australia – what a great tradition. We uulslay spend the day with neighbors, all contributing to a great feast. Next year I will introduce them to Beans and Greens, using one of your recipes, I know they will love it. Happy New Year Chef John – and thank you for your wonderful blog.
