I planted enough collards for a couple of meals for New Year's day. Got them simmering on the stove. We are in Atlanta with my #2 son and his family and it is a chilly 18* this morning. Blackeye peas are on the stove too.
How many of you have this on New Year's day?

We always have the traditional collard greens, black eyed peas cooked in ham bone broth with corn bread and of course ham.
Happy New Year to you and your family.

My 5 year old grandson has a friend staying over to play with him. I just heard a bunch of shouting and found them looking out the window at a few snow flakes falling. Not supposed to do anything but it sure got their attention.
Always fresh peas for New Year's day. Started a soak after Church, last night. Canned collards this year and corn bread.
Those greens look good! In the ground and the pot!
:fish
Got a big crew coming today, pink eyed peas, hog jowl, cabbage, cornbread, fried potatoes.
Don’t know why no collard greens, guess not quite far enough south.

Ray, just got through with lunch and had a big helping of collards and black eyed peas with a cake of corn bread. I also have pintos that soaked all night in a crock pot cooking for supper now. It's always been a tradition in our home. My mom use to put a silver dollar in with the peas for good luck in the new year. Some things you can't change. Good luck and Happy New Year. Hope to see you Wylie this year!
:biggrin
ALWAYS! Cant remember a year that collard greens, peas, cornbread and ham wasnt prepared at my house. Usually there's more too....like deviled eggs, sweet potato casserole, and some kinds of deserts.;)
Yep, I cooked the collards yesterday and we put them in the garage fridge until today. They always taste better to us after they sit for a day after being cooked. My bride cooked the black eye peas, sweet taters, and cornbread today. Man, it was all a great way to start off the new 2018 year !
The next objective is to get a freezer full of 2018 Crappie !
Happy New Year to all Y'all .
All the Best - Satoma
had my fill of um too been going on around hear all my life I remember going down to the corn crib where we cured meat and helping cut a big chunk of cured ham off to put in the peas had back bones and ribs off hogs we raised and greens out of the garden cornbread was a regular at our house and still is all that and more trimmings plus sweet tater pie rhubarb pie sometimes we would have wild strawberry cobbler that me and mom would pick in spring time. ill hush now but I got lots more memories of long gone times that I thank God for every day. happy new year to all of the C.C members Uncle Remus
After hurting myself with all the New Year's feast I had some chocolate cake, but not just any chocolate cake. My Mom used to bake and sell cakes and the favorite was her chocolate cake. She has been gone awhile now, but I found a lady in my old hometown that has nailed my Mom's recipe. So I treat myself once a year to this 14 layer homemade chocolate cake just like Mama used to make.
Bout fell asleep watching exciting bowl games.

We have just about finished this one. Been working on it since Christmas. GROAN!
Dang that cake looks so good !!!
Ray, I need to find that lady and get one of those cakes.
It's too bad she didn't put any chocolate frosting on it.
Probably a little over kill for me as I eat cake only a couple times a year, not big into sweets
Gotta love collard greens.
Gerald, she lives in Blenheim. Next time I'm headed that way I'll check with you about ordering one.
There's no such thing as too much chocolate !!:bashQuote:

I seem to not need much sleep. I'm good for 6-7 hours so if I go to bed before midnight I'm wide awake at 6 or earlier. I usually am up by 7 so midnight is my usual bedtime.
We have ham for Christmas so I substituted crappie fillets on New Years. I did use the Christmas ham bone in the collards.
