New Year’s Day Black Eyed Peas

Folk Lore: Black Eyed Peas on New Year’s Day brings good luck for the entire year. My Granny used to drop a new penny (washed of course) into the pot of black eyes before serving, saying whoever got the penny would have a pocket full for the year. She never said what the pocket would be full of though. Back then, my pockets were usually full of pretty rocks that I’d find. #GoldenApron23
