Prosperity For 2013

What's cooking for dinner?  Today we are having blackeyed peas, slow roasted pork roast, and fresh mustard greens.  Stay tuned for recipes to be posted.

Cooking for prosperity?  Not sure if it works, but I am willing to take the chance, and with a tasty meal why the heck not?  To start off the new year many people will be eating for luck and prosperity.   Which foods? Depends upon the culture. Recurring themes are green (life), gold & coins (money/wealth) and pork/ham (because pigs root forward as they eat, embracing challenges).

The tradition goes back many years and varies throughout each region and country.  For some examples of foods and recipes click here. 

I wish for you all a wonderful New Year!
