My ritual on New Year’s Day is to prepare a traditional Southern dinner. To ensure good fortune in the new year, black-eyed peas and collard greens must be eaten. Black-eyed peas (symbolizing coins or wealth) are said to bring wealth and prosperity. Adding cooked greens (the color of money) makes them even luckier.
It’s a fun tradition, and it sometimes even brings me luck and good fortune! Although not a “good luck” food, I do like to make a banana pudding to accompany the meal.
