For many people, it’s not New Year’s without BLACK-EYED PEAS. And when I say many, I do mean it.

You could have Everything and Nothing’s Stewed Black-Eyed Peas. She’s from Mississippi, so I’ll assume this is a traditional Southern recipe. And do check out the rest of her blog- she must cook like a madwoman.

You could have World-Famous Recipes’New Year’s Eve Black-Eyed Peas, a simple take on a classic. They also have Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Soup for those who’d like a different take on the subject. (By the way, they got mentioned in a New York Times article! (reg-free repost))

And Chicken Recipes thinks you can have your black-eyed peas with chicken. Sounds good to me!

Recipes Recipe submitted Nian Gao- Baked Chinese New Year Cake. Yes, Chinese New Year isn’t for a month or so. But then, I’m not Chinese either, and I betting most of you aren’t, so feel free to use this recipe now!

Happy New Year.
