Then I learned of their New Years Day tradition. \u00a0My mother-in-law always made them so we could have at least a spoonful for a prosperous new year! \u00a0 She made them with fat back and bacon grease, and they were always yummy! (A little high in fat-but yummy!). We try to pass on this tradition with our children now. \u00a0Black-eyed peas are something we eat all year long, but especially on New Year&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>I have tweaked them over the years to be a bit healthier. I use frozen peas, or if I am in a hurry, I will use canned. For awhile there was a shortage, so I purchased dry peas and soaked them. I place them in my crock pot around 7 AM. \u00a0I add a ham bone, garlic and a whole onion. I would chop onions up, but my kids would pick them out! \u00a0A little salt and celery salt, and they are ready to go. \u00a0They cook all day. \u00a0The secret to great peas is that they cook long enough to start to split! Right before serving them, I taste them and add more seasoning. \u00a0I serve them hot with a small amount of grated sharp cheddar cheese, chopped green onions and saut\u00e9ed mushrooms! \u00a0 Add a piece of cornbread-and you have dinner! \u00a0This is great, as we usually put Christmas decorations away on New Years day. \u00a0To enjoy more lucky dishes, visit other Recipe Redux blogs!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/image1-e1387562738346.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"margin: 3px; border: 3px solid black;\" alt=\"Canned black-eyed peas!\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/image1-e1387562738346-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!-- start InLinkz script --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\ndocument.write('<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inlinkz.com\/cs.php?id=347176&#038;' + new Date().getTime() + '\"><\\\/script>');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!-- end InLinkz script --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Black-eyed peas were something that Southern people ate. \u00a0I never had them until I got married.
