We really did eat blackeyed peas, ham, mac and cheese and cornbread. It was good and certainly a change from our usual meals. We try to eat "healthy" but it was really good!

My family gathers at my parents house. We always have the black eyed peas, turnip greens, hog jowl and corn bread. We add other vegetables potatoes, corn, and coleslaw and meatloaf. Might not bring luck but we are never hungry.

No. No black-eyed peas. Cabbage rolls, pierogi, cabbage and noodles this year. Other years, braised pork and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Number 1 DS is my number 1 pierogi 'pincher', not a single one burst while boiling.

No ham as no one but DH and I will eat it.

What do you do with the cabbage?

I cut it into a frying pan with real butter and onions and stirfry it.
