New Year - Good Eats!
In just about every culture, there are traditional foods that are prepared on New Year's Day to bring luck and prosperity in the upcoming year. My family growing up and still today always has black-eyed peas and cornbread on New Year's Day, but I have heard of others who eat everything from pork to cabbage to winter greens as a meal to welcome the new year. I found a neat article on Epicurious.com that discusses some of these traditions. Some are very similar to some you may have heard of, while others are fairly exotic. Why not incorporate one (or more!) of these ideas into your own New Year's menu and start a new culinary tradition to ring in 2009?

Thanks Amy! I will definitely check out that site! We are having black eyed peas as well this year. My grandma always made them on the 1st when I was growing up.
I'll have to check this out! We always have pork and sauerkraut - a German tradition!
