Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is a Southern tradition that’s believed to bring luck and prosperity in the coming year.  Every year, since I can remember, we have had black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.  I even recall my mother putting a dime in the pot of peas, for added prosperity.

Notes

Tiffy’s Tips
~This recipe is for fresh black-eyed peas, not dried.
~Use any type of cooked sausage, Kielbasa is my preference.
~Omit the sausage for a vegetarian version.

Black-eyed peas are often served with pork, collard greens, and cornbread. Thought I would share my recipe with you as it’s so simple and easy.  I use fresh black-eyed peas, you can certainly use dried but you will need to soak or add more cooking time.  I really love Melissa’s Black Eyed Peas found in the produce section of your grocery store.  

Enjoy!!!
