    Hi....

    I know this is late for this year....but you can still try it now to see if you want it for next New Year's Day!

    Black Eyed Peas are supposed to bring good luck for the new year, so you need to serve them on New Year's Day. I made this recipe this year and it was great! We always have a party on New Year's Day and I served this and got glowing reviews!!

    Enjoy!
