New Years Black Eyed Peas

These new years black eyed peas are packed with nutrients, rich in flavor, and are thought to provide good luck for the new year. Either way, adding these tiny legumes to your diet more often may just benefit you.

Black eyed peas are a southern tradition. I’m from the midwest, born and raised Chicagoan. However, I do have some family from Lousiana and Arkansas. My mom didn’t make black eyed peas as much growing up. However, I remember my aunts, grandmother, my friend’s parents making them to bring in the new year. January 1, 2020, I decided to make my own new year’s black-eyed peas vegan style. Since it’s the beginning of the year I thought I would share some of my goals for the new year as well. Sharing my goals with others helps me to keep myself accountable to do what I say I will do for the year.
