HOPPIN' JOHN! This is a very old, Southern Tradition -- it's served on New Year's Day with rice, greens, and cornbread. I love it and it's got LOTS of protein and fibre! Hope you'll enjoy it, too!

That is certainly one of my favorite foods.
I wasn't raised on southern foods but I can't get enough of them lately. Black eyed peas are my favorite. Thanks for the recipe!
